I didn't even update last week because both kids were so sick with the flu. My gosh, the vomiting memories are going to give me nightmares, lol! I did manage to run though, just not as much. And somehow managed not to get the flu....not sure how...
So back to running this week. I changed my schedule from 5 days per week to 4 because one run was really short, like 3-4 mi and I realized at this point in my marathon training and extra day off is worth more than that run. As long as my long runs go ok, I know I'm on target. And it gives my blisters a day to heal between runs. Ouch.
Amiable, walking the dog is already really good exercise. Did you ever consider taking up running or jogging? Also, I find a stationary bike is good if you can't get out and have little time. You can just do it in front of the tv at night. If you're hoping for some weight loss they do say it's about 80% what you eat and 20% exercise, which I think is true. I know cutting out sugar is very helpful, and you can cut carbs for fast weight loss. We've been eating Paleo here and it's doing wonders for my horrible digestion. No grains at all. DH is losing weight, and I'm not losing, and not trying, but feeling much better for energy, digestion, and being off the sugar energy roller coaster.
