Dear James, Daniel and Emily
That was a real good run, and a great way to wind up my exercise week. A week that was 1 day shorter as I missed out on my Saturday run. But the miles just keep piling up. I am already at 12+ miles in running & walking miles heading into the weekend.
The only downside to all of this is that I am discovering that I am getting real hard on my shoes. I had to just give up on my every day tennis shoes this week after reaching the point where they hurt every time I wore them. And the only thing I do in those was walk. All of this exercise is going to result in my developing a serious shoe habit & need a special budget for it.
As far as the eating, much to my chagrin, but probably to my doctors happiness, I am developing a real intolerance of any fast food. Tuesday I had to take a short day from work so I could take James to the doctor. So I went out to eat at Culvers. Which is a small cut above the Wendy's/McDonalds level, but is still basically fast food. Well all I had was a sandwich, fries and an ice cream. Not really that big of a meal comparatively speaking. But a day later I was really feeling it, my digestive tract was very unhappy with me. It is becoming increasingly real to me that I can't even eat a meal like that once a week any more. I will have to keep adjusting my eating habits accordingly.
While this is generally a good thing from a nutritional perspective, and theoretically from a weight loss (although I was steady for the week, despite the really light weekend eating and increased calorie burn, go figure) perspective. But it does suck from the perspective that I am slowly losing my ability to enjoy eating, or at least eating the things I enjoy.
