Slight milestone for me

Posted 10-09-2007 at 02:46 AM by curses

In regards to fitness. Over the weekend, I took pictures for the soccer charity that I work for. They had a street cup tournament in Centennial Olympic Park. We spent the better part of the day roaming around taking pictures and playing soccer with random people.

I took yesterday off. Today I was actually able to run in short bursts with no pain! We found a park with soccer fields so my husband and I took turns setting up crosses and corner kicks. I played for about 45 minutes and I'm not in any pain for the first time.

	Yay! That's awesome, curses. Show them muscles who's boss.

	Pain free soccer? You're not doing it right.

	Nooo, see the pain's supposed to come when some ass comes studs-up at your shin, not from the simple act of running around a pitch

	Congrats, curses. I wish I could get excited about exercise, then maybe I'd do it.

My current fitness plan involves working 3-4 hours per day at some long-neglected chore or project here at Rancho Pobrecito. Hey, it's more than I've been doing.

Oh, and the chocolate cheesecake diet is working pretty well. I've lost 5 pounds in as many days eating a piece of chocolate cheesecake for breakfast, nothing for lunch, and a modest evening meal. For some reason, that rich cheesecake from Merritt's Bakery lasts all day long. It's way more satisfying than two bowls of oatmeal.

Congrats curses! I too am trying to get back into a fitness routine and beat the pain. Most mornings the past two weeks I have made to the Y and done 1-2 miles on the treadmill. Plus I got some of the banana nut crunch cereal and some delish cappucino protein drink I like so I have been eating a real breakfast again instead of just inhaling a granola bar in the car. Lost 8 pounds since last month though...so, something is working. Weekends are still tough--since I don't HAVE to get up for work I tend to sleep in, and since my wife works only on weekends by the time I get up she is leaving for work and then there's no Y time for me. Tomorrow I might just set my alarm and get up and go. I can always take a nap later.

And I think I might have discovered what was causing the very sharp pain in my left foot when I walked--it was my "work sneakers." I stopped wearing them to work a couple weeks back and and wore instead an old (but dilapidated) pair of sketchers I got 3 years ago. The sketchers look like hell, which is why I stopped wearing them to work, but they are way more comfortable.

This past week I wore the new sneakers again for two days, and the pain came back.

Looks like I need to get some different shoes for work...
