Who knew that when a girl tried getting healthy she'd get shin splints and have to be off of the treadmill for 6-8 weeks? *sigh. I asked my mom for advice (she's run multiple marathon races, among others) and she said the pain sounded like splints, which means no running and possibly the need for new shoes. Well... I'm cheap and thought the shoes I have would be all right. Guess a shoe investment will come soon - until then, it's the exercise bike and weight lifting to try to get this excess weight off. I will NOT give up on losing this weight before I go to Europe!
No plans for the week in my planner - except purchasing a new planner (thanks Charley-dog for thinking my old one was a chew toy. AGAIN). I also have to send in my consolidation forms, but everything is closed today, so there's always tomorrow. I may also go into work tomorrow to use their phone to call the direct loan people because we all know I'll be on hold for ages to receive answers to two simple and short questions. Such is life, right?
While all of my friends are cruising to Mexico, I'm going to spend the time reading a few books and possibly lesson-planning. I need to stay busy so I don't drive myself into a shopping frenzy because I'm bored. Although, there is a super cute Coach purse I saw at the outlet mall a few weeks ago that is calling my name...
Day 13 of All Good Things: completing 1.5 miles in 13.5 minutes was a great accomplishment today...with a nice and light lunch and a nap. Summer vacation rocks.
