I wish I could say today was a good day, but that's just not the case. I ate well, but no workout. I'm going to try and work out tonight, but today's situation just made the gym workout impossible.

Long story short, on Saturday we moved my mom to her own apartment. Today, there was an incident with her that caused her to have her drivers license taken away. My father-in-law ended up accusing us of not taking good care of her, and I was ended up a mental case all morning. Since I wasn't very useful at work anyway, I left, came home and spent the rest of the day with my mom.

The upside is that I ate fairly well. Here's my day's log:

B: 3/4 cup multigrain oatbran cereal, 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 cup blueberries, breakfast burrito (1 egg, 1 Flat Out Light wrap): 348 calories
L: MetRx Big 100 Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough flavor protein bar, 1 apple: 421 calories
S: 1.5oz honey roasted peanuts: 250 calories
D: 5oz beef ribs, 1 cup romaine, 1tbsp regular ranch (was at my in-laws), 1 apple: 491 calories
Total: 1530 calories

I still have 180 calories or so I can eat. I'm saving it up to eat before & after cardio tonight. I will say this though, I'm not holding my breath for 600 calories today! Hehe.

Oh, one other thing. I was worried I might have a stress fracture, went to the doc today and he confirmed it's not that. Just a bit of a strain, so I have to take it a bit easy. Thing is, it doesn't hurt while exercising or walking, it only hurts when I put pressure on it. The upside there is that I don't have to take it easy exercising, since it's not putting more strain. :)

This morning the scale in the bathroom was 3.5 pounds more than yesterday. How does that happen?

The gym scale this afternoon showed 170 pounds. Minus my clothes, that's right around where I was in the bathroom this morning. *sigh* no telling what's the deal.

I'm back from this morning's 5k, the Run Drugs Out of Town for my area. There were about 200 people there. There wasn't any official timing, which was a shame, but here's my results:

Time: 25:09:12, my fastest 5k time! Once again, I blew my old time out of the water, this time by 2:11! My pastor ran with me and wasn't too much farther back than I was, he finished only 15 or 20 seconds after I did.

Oh, and my bib # was 42. See, now THAT'S why I got the time I did...

Diggin' the 5k's so far. :) 301 calories burned.

I wanted to burn 600 calories tonight but that would have been another 30 to 45 minutes of cardio. I'm in a 5k tomorrow at 9, so I figured I should take it easy tonight.

So in the end I did 20 minutes on the treadmill @ 6mph, then another 25 on the stairclimber, all while watching Babylon 5. Only one episode left until the end of Season 1.

350 calories burned.
