Not a good workout... I really didn't feel very well, I think my lack of sleep is really starting to take a tole on me. I did sleep a bit better last night but I'm still not feeling refreshed. Hoping that meds will be adjusted soon and I will get feeling better.

Just did 41/2 on the elliptical and then tried to do a bit on the treadmill... but it was a no go. My gait felt completely off and I just could not relax, knee started bugging quite a bit so I ended up stopping, I was quite depressed after this workout, felt like a bit of a set back. I'm worried about running the 5K this Saturday, I have not had any expectations, just wanted to participate, and in the back of my mind I kept telling myself I can always walk for a bit. But you know that you really don't want to do that. It looks like I might have to anyway.

On a side note: Still going strong with the no soda/caffene, if fact I really don't miss it at all. But I'm struggling with the no sugar. I knew this one would be more difficult and I thought that I had mentally prepared myself for this. But it is a strong drug!! and it is everywhere! Everyday I try to recommit myself to this goal, because I know I will do/feel much better when I can do this. But I'm failing miserably... augghhh!!

Good luck this weekend. You'll do great!

If that were my goal I would have failed the sugar part six times over already, and its only 10am. You are a champ.

Hi - hope you are feeling better today. Sometimes you just need to take one day at a time.

Good luck with your nutrition overall. I'm not a soda drinker, but have to have my cup of coffee each morning (with cream & sugar, thank you!). But the rest of my eating is pretty healthy, at least it has been since I joined this blog a few months ago. I don't try to restrict my sugar thru out the day per se, but find if I eat lots and lots of healthy food all day long it helps my energy level, and I don't get the cravings for sugar. Since my body is getting old and arthritic, I figure I need all the help I can get!

good job quitting the soda! Ive tried that a few times and I keep failing miserably. Its funny bc I KNOW that I would feel better, so why not do it?? Bc I LOVE it so much!! That and Im just totally weak.

Hope you are feeling better and are able to participate some way up in Ogden. What is wrong with your knee?

Cookie, I had my knee scoped about two months ago. I have arthuritis behind my knee cap.
