I ran today for 30 minutes...it seems to be getting easier. I don't think I was sweating as much and while I was out of breath I wasn't gasping for air. I don't think I can tackle week 2 yet...one reason is my ankles hurt alot....again the shin splints are gone, zip, nada, just a dull ache around the ankle. I hope I can do strength training today.

Try paying attention to how you run. I found my right knee was starting to hurt then realized that it's because I didn't have the proper form. My right was over compensating and i put my foot down weird on that step.
Also, I dont know if anyone suggested it, but REALLY GOOD shoes are worth every penny! Go to a specialty store and talk to someone there. They're a tad expensive but they're really worth it!
Keep up the good work, you're doing great!

Amen. I spent $120 on my running shoes and they're worth every penny. I got Mizunos for women (which have a wider toe box among other things designed around a woman's foot). Do some online research and then go have your feet properly measured ... it makes a WORLD of difference.
I bought some new balance running shoes earlier for around 50 bucks. They're fairly new.

Ugh, it was mid afternoon and I was hungry. After debating whether I should have a slice of pizza or a tangerine...I just didn't think having a tangerine or other fruit would do it. So I had one slice of pizza today...again. I'm still within my calories though and I'm a little less hungry...sigh
Just noticed something...the fat on my sides which used to fold (I know, its gross) is pretty much gone. My mom said my face looks thinner too...

Bummer, got on the scale today, 229.5. Must be something I ate...
Breakfast:
2 eggs with beans and cheese (300)
1 serving of carrots (35)
1 serving of cherries with pits (83)
Total for breakfast: 418
Lunch:
Chinese food chen's
White rice, kung pao spicy pork with veggies
For later:
Eggroll, cream cheese puff, rest of veggies and rice.
So my family decided to go to chen's, I didn't want to go, even though I love their food (I used to eat there before, great stuff)
So I split up the food, ate some, saved the rest for dinner. You get alot of food for 5 bucks. It came with peanuts, bell peppers, spicy pork, and this sauce that must be full of sodium.
So yeah, I didn't do too good today. But i'm going to have the rest for dinner so hopefully it won't be too bad
Update:
I finished the chinese food and had a salad with some cheese, a few nuts, and homemade crutons.
I also had a nectarine

IIRC the canned sloppy joe mix is pretty high in sodium. Just chug down a bit more water today and you'll be fine.
The chinese food didn't help! I bet that is even higher in sodium..I had some of it this afternoon and am having the rest for dinner tonight, maybe with some fruit or veggies.
What's worse is we could've gone to yoshi's (it was right next door) and gotten some nice sushi instead
This is it for today..
