Back in the saddle again

I just got back from running. It felt SOOO good. Oh man! I haven't run since Saturday. I rode my bike Sunday and Monday and Tuesday I felt awful. I hate to say it in mixed company so I'll just say that there is one week out of the month (sometimes a WHOLE week, sometimes just 3 or 4 days) when I feel so awful that I am almost incapacitated. I don't know why it is so bad for me. Some women just breeze through it, but not me.

The diet that I am on now should help me because it was designed by a nutritionist for PMS and PMDD specifically and she helps a lot of women with this. She says that usually after about 90 days on the diet, you can feel a change. I'm hoping that's true.

Apparently the rest did me some good though. I really did have a great run. It was hard but not unbearable. I did my 8 repetitions of "run 1 minute/ walk 2:45" and it really felt perfect. After the 4th repetition, my recovery was about 7 and a half minutes because I looped back by my house and came in to get my walkman wires untangled and get Thunder some water. I think it made the 2nd half of the run much easier.

I really can't believe that I don't feel exhausted or anything. I feel good. I am so proud of myself.

Has anyone tried the Asian Salad at McDonalds? I ate one today for the first time and it was downright enjoyable. Usually I just suffer through a salad, but this one has all kind of stuff in it, and the dressing they give you is so good too. It filled me up from lunch to supper. It was great.

Well, I'm gonna go tuck the kiddos into bed.

I hope all is well with you.

Sincerely,

Victoria
