someone to talk to 2012

Oh man, yesterday was such a terrible day for me. 

My sleep cycle is all messed up from this new job, so I slept right through Zumba class. 

I also almost slept right through a business meeting, so I had to jump out of bed, put on some clothes, brush my teeth and get out.

That meant that I had to do breakfast and coffee on the go, after my meeting. I stopped at Tim Hortons for breakfast, ate a sandwich and a coffee and felt absolutely terrible afterwards.

It feels like everything spiraled out of control after that. I craved junk food all day, ate all kinds of bad stuff... I ate 5 of my emergency chocolates at once. I usually only eat one when  I'm craving something sweet and I'm fine. 

Ugh. I want to know why this happens. If I don't start my day with a solid breakfast, the rest of the day falls to pieces and I can't seem to get control back.

hi all ,,,who was it that just got a meal plan fr Paul???

cosmo ..believe u have 1.....how much protein are u aloud to have per day on it??

Thanks all, I will see someone when I can.  I know I pulled a muscle as I have classic symptoms according to the Internet, and treatment is rest for one or two days, Advil, slow and steady and when healing done then stretching.

The Y offers yoga, since I jumped into exercise too fast I will start yoga as soon as I can.  I believe tight hamstrings on myself is what caused this.

Cosmo.... I AM injured now and it is NOT WORTH IT to do a race that may jeopardise your career as a trainer should you injure yourself.  There will be other races, but right now you are on a fast track to be a trainer and who wants one who wouldn't listen to advice and got severely injured?  I read you may be fine, but what if the worst happened?

Which is more important...the dream of this race or the dream of being an able bodied trainer?

Karen - Great job not drinking any beer or eating bad foods! Wonderful self control there! Make sure that you take a little time to yourself to heal up though!

Cosmo - Wow, I just don't know what to tell you. You obviously really want to run this race, but if you're hurt we don't want it to get worse. If you think that you can do it, I say go for it but if you think you might make it worse, I would say sit this one out. I know how much it sucks to have to do that though. You know your body, and you know how much you can handle :) 

Farmer - Sorry to hear that your new body pump instructor isn't very nice. Sometimes that can really take the fun out of a workout. I hope you can stick to it though, it's so great that you work out so often! I wish I was that motivated. Just haven't found something I like to do much yet. 

Ok...I need some advice! I have a race scheduled this weekend but have been told by both a dr. and a massage therapist NOT to do it. I am at high risk to blow my achelies (sp?) tendon because for some reason my feet, legs, and hips are tighter then they should be (for those on Facebook with me, it goes further than my stretching issues). If I don't blow it I could still cause more scar tissue making my recovery time a bit longer. But they also said I could run it and be fine. I'm waiting for a confirmed appointment with a sports dr. to see if they can help me. My trainer hinted that I would be ok to run it (wouldn't actually commit to an answer in case I hurt myself) as he knows how competitive I am.  The normal person I would turn to here for advice is injured himself so I don't want to bother him with my issues. I haven't run since last Thursday to give myself some rest (which I never do either) and I still have some burning in my heel so it doesn't seem to matter what I do, the burning is still there.  So what would you guys do?
