Hey, I applaud you on always doing your best... but take it a little easier on yourself sometimes!! 
For shin splints, stretching your shins (by pointing your foot, curling your toes over, and pressing down on the top of your foot) er... hope that made sense!
I myself am avoiding running club today, as it has been raining and my scooter won't work properly either... humph...

Oh yeah, something is wrong with my right leg. I haven't been able to run. It's REALLY been bothering me. I think its just shin splits but it's just weird b/c it's only in my right leg. But i am definitely taking it easy until it stops. I've just been walking. Walking is better then doing nothing and sitting on my ass, right?
My calories are fluctuating a lot, AGAIN. I really need to work on keeping them in the 1,200-1,300 zone. I'm always below. Grr.
It's only 6:47PM right now but I'm wiped so I'm actually crashing now. I have an ortho appointment at 8AM tomorrow (why I actually came home) and I plan on hitting the gym right afterwards for a few hours.
I know I am soooooo behind on journals. Forgive me! I will try to catch up on a few right now but I promise I will get to everyone by tomorrow You guys are all amazing!! <3

Hey Jes, not sure why you think my running is so great, your work outs put mine in the gutter! Great job, it seems like you're still doing great.
As far as the shin splints go, I responded to your question in my diary so I'll just quote myself:
If you have shin splints it really is important to stretch those muscles (dorsiflexors) and take it easy on anything that has a bad impact, like running. Eventually what can happen if you try to push through the pain is the muscles start separating from the bone and eventually the bone can actually start breaking. That is a worse case scenario, and even with a mild case of shin splints you can be off running to your doctor thinking the bone is broken, but generally if you just wait it out until you're comfortable again they'll go away for good. Just make sure to keep on stretching that area!
Good luck, and great work!

I haven't hit the gym yet. I have a few things I need to take care of before I go to the gym and I'm waiting for them to open up. I need to get my eyebrows done, drop off my BC prescription, etc. I figured I'd do that before I got all stinky and sweaty
Conkel: Thanks for that link man. VERY helpful. It was a LONG read but it had some good material in there. I'm going to try those stretches before I head out.
But yeah. this is what I have planned for today. I'm going to TRY and run one mile. I THINK my leg is feeling better. I miss running SOSOSO much. Without it, I feel like I'm doing absolutely nothing in the gym without running. I NEED to run.
I am loving being home and eating my mom's food but I can't wait to be back in San Diego and back to my healthy food so I KNOW exactly how many calories I'm consuming. I HATE estimating.

Yesterday I ran about half a mile and my legs started hurting again. The pain afterwards was the worst pain I've experienced but it went away pretty fast. Usually the pain kicks in right away and then it lasts the whole day. So no more running for another week. Just going to let my legs rest. Even though I really don't want to and am dreading this. I'm going to do those stretches on that shin splits website daily so hopefully that helps.
I had a pretty good work-out. I still feel like I don't do much without running. I can't believe I'm about to say this but I miss the Stairmaster :-X I'm in my hometown and the Bally's here doesn't have any.
Alright, I have to start packing. Heading back to San Diego tonight. I am sooooooooo looking forward to that lovely 6 hour drive.

Your workouts are so awesome!! Man, I need to start killing myself in the gym like that! Sorry about your leg...I don't think there is anything more frustrating than having to "rest" because of an injury. My training for my 25k race in May starts on November, so I'm excited for that!
Have a safe trip!

Jes,
Sounds like you had a good trip to see your family. I've never had Indian food, how is it? I've always thought it would be spicy, probably because of tv and movies and such.
Shin splits SUCK. Anytime my brain thinks of running, I get shin splints. That happened all the time, until I got a pair of decent running shoes. The shin splints were still there, but it was DRASTICALLY different in feel, more of a sore muscle feel then a stabby death pain needle kill ferrets feel.
What kind of shoes do you have? My friend Matt who used to run cross country said there are only two ways to beat shin splints, rest, or run through the pain and eventually your muscle will build up there.
Your workouts look great though, even without running, your building some serious cardiovascular muscles. Are you an organ donor? If you are I got first dibs if you croak...not that I want that....after mentioning inn n out and everything...I'm just saying.

Whew. Finally caught up. I am sooo behind. I am sorry I haven't been around. I am just SOOOOOOOOOOOOO insanely busy with work, school, friends, working out, etc. BUT I am still living this lifestyle and I AM still hitting the gym daily.
NOT happy with my eating AT ALL. I am fluctuating like crazy. That needs to stop TODAY. I threw out the rest of those stupid Trader Joe cookies. GRRRRRR.
My working out was pretty weak this weekend. STUPID WORK. BUT HEY, at least I went into the gym right?! Plus both days I worked 8-9 hour shifts and I was on my feet, walking around the entire day. I know I burned SOME calories there.
15 days till my weigh-in. Half a month. I feel like I am NO where close to my goal of losing 10lbs this month. I feel like my eating has been complete shit and I seriously hate not being able to run.
But I am stepping it up a notch. I think my legs are finally better. I am going to make sure I properly stretch them before and after I run. I'm also going to make sure I am running at an incline. I am going to be spending 3 hours in the gym daily and going to completely focus on what I put in my mouth. I am stocked up on TONS of fruits and veggies. NO MORE EXCUSES. I WILL lose those 10lbs this month. I CAN do it.
I haven't worked out yet today so I'll have to update this later on tonight.

Keep working out the way you are, fix up the little mess ups in your diet and I'm sure you'll hit your goal. You can do it!
I'm in the same boat as you though, I eat well most of the time but then I always mess up at some point by eating something I know is terrible for me. It's a hard time to do it with Thanksgiving coming up (maybe Thursday can be an exception, haha yeah right), but we can do it Jes! No more crap!
Good luck with your shin splints, hope you're still doing the exercises I linked you to, they really do help. Keep up the good work

Howdy Jess. Yes, COOKIES = 
But seriously, if you removed the cookies, which you have, you are doing great with the eating! I don't have to say how BAD ASSED your workouts are... they speak for themselves!!! Have a great day!!

Okay yeah I am just super emotional this week BUT STILL
I AM losing weight. I AM doing this. It IS showing.
At work, I was fitting into the LARGE t-shirts. Even then, they were snug on me. Well, over the summer I went to go work in the Fresno (I went home, homestore) Apple store. While I was gone, my store here in SD received new shirts. I wasn't here to tell them my size so they just guessed and gave me a medium. I came back and when I saw that I was going to cry because there was NO freaking way I was going to fit into a medium. I would look like a WHALE. But I had no choice, I HAD to wear the new shirts. I tried them on and it...fit. A little snug but it fit.
Fast forward 2 months, now it fits perfectly. Well, I want it to be a bit more loose But my old large t-shirts? I am practically swimming in them.
IDK. I just don't feel like I've lost much weight. I don't SEE it. I know that's stupid b/c I FEEL clothes looser on me. My pants are falling off if I don't wear belts.
ANYWAY, I'm going into the gym right now and I was getting dressed. Pulled out my old PE shirt from high school (3 years ago). I HATE this shirt. It's tight and yeah, I look huge in it. I always feel like I do.
WELL I PUT IT ON, I loook GOOD. It is no longer tight. I fit in it like I did in high school so now I'm in the weight area I was in high school.
Yeah, I was totally crying. I know it doesn't seem like a huge deal but it's just finally becoming real for me. I REALLY am doing this. I AM succeeding. NOTHING can stop me.
Okay. I'm done typing this novel. <3 Time for the GYM.

Hey Jes!
I would have to say I feel the same way. Not the "fitting into mediums" part
, but the fact that the progress you make, motivates you even more. When you step on the scale and see change, or fit into clothes that you never thought you could, it makes you think... "Why can't I reach my goal?"..."Why can't I have a six-pack?"... or..."Why can't I become a swimsuit model?" I am a firm believer that progress comes from progress. It may start small... until it snowballs... and all of a sudden you've reached your goal. You truly are kicking ass at the gym. I think I burn calories just reading what you do! Keep up the GREAT work.
I am so proud of you!
