hey y'alllll :) for real you have been OVER generous with your support and advice regarding my limp leg. After reading all of your comments I (a) wanted to cry because you're so sweet and (b) am leaning towards the IT band injury. I checked out webmd.com, wikipedia & runners world and it seems that I have 90% of the symptons that they described and it probably came on from my sudden increase in distance as well as being on the treadmill for long periods of time. basically fml. I need to rest it. And I should see a doctor to get an offish doc's opinion so I will definitely be getting on that. You all provided such support and inspiration and I knew I could count on you for such smartness! thank you thank you thank you thank you THANK YOU. love you all :)
now onto the good stuff. fooooooooooood. oh and my day of course!
I started off the morning right with a good old workout don't worry it was elliptical friendly AND pain free.
15 minutes on Elliptical steady pace at resistance 5
Dumbbell upright row
Dumbbell pushup
Bent over barbell row (reverse grip optional)
5 minutes sprint intervals on elliptical
Dumbbell chest press
Good mornings

30 minutes Elliptical Hill Workout.
It was actually a good workout :) I was pain free most of the time and I just really love weight lifting. It felt really good to leave the gym with no pain!
When I came home I assembled the perfect parfait.
blueberry Chobs, 1/2 a bananer, & some HiLo Vanilla Almond cereal (review to come)
"I'm getting even with you for this, Wonka, if it's the last thing I ever do! I've got a blueberry for a daughter..."
I hung with the clients and then by the time I came home I was beastly hungry.
green machine. oh yeah.
lettuce. obvs
peppers, tomatoes & onions
carrot strippers haha
LC swiss
100 cal Sabra's hummus
salssaaaaa
Lightlife Pepperonis
& two slices of Arnold's toast for scoopage purposes
I then proceeded to run every errand under the sun in the matter of two hours. Yes I should get daughter of the year award but it involved my favoritest of activities. hellloooooo food shopping! I hit up TJs and BJs hahahaha it rhymes. Got great foods and came home to have to run back to work.
I didn't really have time for a substantial meal today for dinner so it was pretty much a cereal carb fest x2.
in the mix
Kashi H2H
Kashi Crunch
Barb's Poofins
TJ's High Fiber Sticks
half a naner
a little pro powdskie
& some USVAM
work was good.

flight attendant: julie you're gonna be mad at me this week
julie: why ___ what's up
fa: i flew to tampa this week and had chipotle
me: okay..
fa: i had it for lunch AND dinner.
me: dang ___ who the heck wanted to go to chipotle twice in one day
fa: the pilot..
me: ooooh the pilot
fa: don't worry i worked the chipotle off
me: oh did you?
fa: yeaaaah we worked it off ;) ..... for hours.

when I got home for work (I lost my appetite ha ha just kidding) but I wanted to get some form of protein or food other then carbs in my tummy. SO i had one of these babies with some cinnamon and a little TJs fiber cereal.

I'm glad you're figuring out the injury. I know it's hard, but rest is important. It's good you had a pain-free workout, though!
That parfait looks amazing! YUM! I'm totally craving a bfast parfait tomorrow (err..later today. yeesh i should go to bed!)
Good news is that if it's an IT band injury they can go away. I tried everything and finally discovered that yoga does the trick for me! :o)
Good luck recovering!
Random cereal messes are the best.

Every girl needs some carb laden cereal fixes now and then. :)

HA! That woman clearly doesn't have a verbal filter! Please tell me it's not Danielle from NJ Housewives ;)
Girlfran - have you had the banana nut cheerios yet? Get them now. Screw milk/yogurt/CC, just open the box and eat! They're heavenly!
Cute flight attendant story! :)
Glad to hear that your workout was pain free and the you've narrowed down what your injury may be...

Omg, what a hilarious TMI moment! My question is what the heck did you say to that! I'm rolling on the floor just thinking about the possible responses!
ahahahah the pilot story had me laughing, for real! so hilarious.
love the beer mug for a parfait, im going to do that.
good luck with figuring your pain out!!
Glad you had a good and pain-free workout! My IT bothered me for a while when I was running a lot of hills, but it's doing much better now.
If you go to a doctor, try to see a sports medicine doctor. I've had some really frustrating experiences with reg docs who don't understand athletes.
Have a great night! :-)
I'm really sorry to hear about your IT band! I have been there! You'll heal- stay strong! :-)
Great looking food! YUM!Parfait looks delish!
