Thanks!
Sadly, my physical therapist told me, in slightly different words, that I'd be a stupid idiot for even walking the race this weekend. So... BAH HUMBUG.

Wow - lots of rough weeks out there. I'm almost feeling guilty to say I'm on vacation with my college freshman in Florida for Spring break this week. (Got out of Philly before the wind and snow on Friday and missing the mess that's going to hit tonight through tomorrow.)
Sunday - 5 mile walk through a really cool flea market
Monday - 2 hours at the gym (no fencing on vacation)
Tuesday - Walking at the beach this afternoon
Wednesday - Pilates 1 hour and some weights at the gym
Thursday - Stand up Paddleboarding and walking
Friday - Walking in Miami
Saturday - cleaning the condo and flying home so not much "exercise" except for making the place spotless for my sister when she comes down next.
Hope everyone has a great week and survives the next blast of winter headed through most of the US.

Keep on losing!

Hope you are feeling better. My stomach is still giving me issues. Sorry to hear about your race but walking it will better than nothing. Hope you have good weather for it. Let me know how it goes

Sorry to hear about black canyon but so happy for you on your 50k race.

Black Canyon 100k was a wreck. Had to drop at mile 38 due to bad IT band pain. Took me 6 hours to do the first 50k, and then the pain happened. Took 2 hours to crawl the next 10k to the aid station. Super sucky since I'm basically in the best shape on my life. Hit rehab real hard and decided to try a local 50k this past weekend. Set a new 50k PR and a course PR. Finished in 16th at 5:53. And best of all, no pain. Running is weird. Anyway, time to get back at it. There is no post race, only pre race.
Monday-walk commute, 3 mile run, gym
Tuesday-walk commute, 3 mile run, gym
Wednesday-4 mile run
Thursday-4 mile run
Friday-gym
Saturday-10 mile run
Sunday-rest, and catch up on yard work.

VSG: 3/12/15
I'm sorry you were unwell last week! I hope this week is better for you. I was also sick last week and between that and the WINDPOCALYPSE, I wasn't able to get to fitness classes. Bah! But I'm now doing physical therapy FOUR TIMES A WEEK for my shoulder and feet... so that's "fun."
Monday: shoulder PT, home exercises, yoga
Tuesday: foot PT, home exercises, walk
Wednesday: pilates class, yoga class, shoulder PT, home exercises
Thursday: foot PT, home exercises, walk
Friday: zenga class, tai chi class, pilates class, walking around DC, home exercises
Saturday: holy crap, I've got a 5k race. I'm going to walk the entire thing though. I had been registered for the half marathon, but had to change due to lack of training and pain. yoga, home exercises
Sunday: home exercises, yoga

Well I have not been well for the last week so I am hoping I can get this in
Monday 30 minute strength training
Tue 60 minute run
Wed 60 minute swim
Thursday 40 minute ride on trainer
Friday rest
Saturday run not sure how long yet
Sunday rest

I also use Garmin Vivoactive whenever I do some swimming, biking, and offroad driving.
I thought I'm going to have a problem with installing my ready lift. Glad it was okay and over. Time to hit the road.
remember women usually need less calories than man. You doctor should be willing to answer some of your questions over the phone about how many calories he would you like you to have and if seated exercise would be Ok. Once you know that you can start from there. there are some great exercise you can do seated. Plus it will show him that you want to change. Good Luck you can do it

Yeah it's all starting with the eating right now. We try to only bring good stuff in now. I rarely every drink coke/soda/pop anymore.
I agree, going to 1200 calories would be too extreme right now. My wife started Weigh****chers but that has me at something nuts like 79 points which I think that's too much so I try to keep close to hers (39), or if counting calories, anything between 2000-2500 right now.
The short answer I keep getting from everyone is that I really need to get a doctor first and then go from there, so I guess for now I work on the eating and hopefully in a few months or something I can fit in a car to get out to a doctor and go from there.
