My foot hurts.
Yes, my foot is still broken, but I had been wearing my flip flops, or actually, FitFlops and my foot felt fine. It didn't bother me to walk and these flip flops were really comfortable.
Today, I decided to wear my sneakers. These aren't the ones that I work out in, they are my "everyday shoes." Well, my foot hurt. A lot. Come to think of it, these are the shoes that really made my foot flare up when I decided to go to the doctor.
Hhhmm.
I think I need to get rid of these shoes. In the meantime, I'm wearing the flip flops and hoping my foot is better. I'm afraid I might get a boot on my foot very soon. Needless to say, I'm going to take it easy today, in hopes that I don't mess my foot up more, and work out tomorrow instead.

Week in Review
I'll make it short and sweet this week...
Weigh-in
Last week: 241 lbs.
Today: 242.5 lbs.
1.5 lb gain :( That's okay, hopefully just a fluke and next weeks numbers are better.
Total loss: 3.5 lbs.
Food
What can I say? I didn't eat great - but I didn't eat as terrible as I could have. I've been slacking on the water intake, but I'm still relatively caffeine free, except for the occasional tea. I need to remember to eat veggies during the day and not try to cram them in at night with dinner.
Exercise
I only worked out 4 times this week!! Monday and Wednesday were cardio/weight training days. Tuesday and Saturday (yes, SATURDAY!) were cardio days. I did all of my cardio on a stationary bike and this week I decided to split it between the 2 types of stationary bikes: the upright and the recumbent bike. My butt can handle sitting on the upright for only so long.
Sleep
Consistency, consistency, consistency. I went to bed before midnight all week, and even managed to turn off the tv by 10:30 pm on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.
For the upcoming week
Food - Fruits and veggies throughout the day, not just at night.
Exercise - I was able to fit in an extra day. Thursday and Fridays are just hard to do, but I can compromise and do weekends, right? I wanna do 5 days this week!
Sleep - Keep trying to go to bed earlier. I can't say it any other way. :)
Happy Sunday!

Week in Review
Weigh-in
Last week: 243 lbs.
Yesterday: 241 lbs.
2 lb loss!!
Total loss: 5 lbs.
Food
Having groceries at home makes it so much easier to make better decisions. Don't get me wrong, I still enjoy a cookie with my milk when I'm wanting something sweet, or a weekly treat of frozen custard. Breakfast was really good this week - cereal, eggs, or a bagel - a banana, and milk. Lunch was pretty good - sandwiches, leftovers, one day I had Chick-fil-A but that was food provided for a lunch meeting. I brought my food most of the week but I also had Subway one day. Dinner - I ate out a few times this week but part of it was a dinner for friends who are moving away. I did make an effort to have a salad with my dinner every night with low calore italian dressing. I have to make a conscious effort to eat fruits and veggies and I had read somewhere that eating a salad a day was a good way to add more veggies. Otherwise, I mostly just tried to watch my portions. Drank water, milk, OJ, and tea all week.
Exercise
I only worked out 3 times this week: Monday and Thursday were cardio/weight training days. Tuesday was cardio day. I did all of my cardio on a stationary bike and this week it was all about staying on and despite hating it, continue doing it.
Sleep
I started my week off okay, but towards the end of the week, I was just not hacking it. It especially got bad Friday night when we planned to go to the IMAX 45 min away and ran into car trouble and ended up going to the late, late show and didn't make it back into town until 5 AM. So, needless to say that yesterday was totally messed up in terms of sleeping. This week shouldn't be as bad.
For the upcoming week
Food - I want to continue doing what I did last week, since it seems to be working alright. I'm making an effort of eating more fruits and veggies.
Exercise - My workouts feel good, as much as I hate the bike. I'm going to aim for at least 4 days this week and if I happen to find an additional day - great, if not, that's something for next week. :)
Sleep - I'm going to try to turn off the tv no later than 10:30 pm every night. It's going to "hurt" when I want to watch my recorded "So You Think You Can Dance?" when I get home and it's too late, but tough. I do fine during the beginning of the week when my shows aren't on - yes, I watch a lot of tv - but towards the end, I stay up to watch everything. I'm gonna work on it.
Happy Sunday!
