update

Usually I try to blog every week but last week just got away from me.  I have still been having some issues with my upper back and neck but am slowly getting back into regular workouts.  I weighed myself on the 6th and wasn't quite sure what to expect.  I had my 1st gain of just 0.2 lbs the week prior so when I saw the number on the scale on friday I was so shocked, a very happy shocked.  I had lost the 0.2 lbs plus another 3.6 lbs.  3.8 lbs in one week.  I also had reached a mini goal that I had set for myself for when we went to the garth brooks concert.  My next mini goal is for when we go to nashville which is just 4 weeks and 1 day away.  I can't believe how quick that is coming up.  Now that I have it written down I will get my butt in gear.  

My plan is to go back to work on the 16th.  Even though my neck is still causing me problems I can't stay home forever.  I will not know how work will make it feel until I actually go to work.  I have a dr's appt on friday and I am going to make sure I get some tyl 3's as I still need to take them on occasion.  

I am keeping it really clean in the kitchen but because we have been away a couple of days I haven't really done a menu yet for this week which is something i need to work on.  Menu planning has been so key in my success.  On the exercise front I have been going back to Jill's for the strength training but just modifying it a bit.  Feels great to be doing that gain.  I also had started running on the treadmill last week and today I did my first outside run in a month and I thought I did pretty good.  Because the race is just a couple of weeks away I need to get out running more.  Tomorrow before K leaves for work I want to try and do 3K and then once little man goes to school I will go to Jill's.  Hopefully it isn't too much all at once.  I guess I will know tomorrow.  

Well I should get menu planning.  Tomorrow will be a busy day with buying a shower gift, going downtown to get something and the exercise too.  Oh and I am reading a text book for a course I do at the end of the month.  Time is just going to fly buy and before I know it I will be on a bus to Nashville!!!!!
