I am really excited even if a bit apprehensive for this week. If everything goes well, I should get my first actual running workout in a bit later today.
I only plan on doing as the Dr. and PT recommended and starting out with 20-50 meters of running, preceded and followed by walking.
That may not sound like much, but its a start to a long process of getting back into it all again.
If no pains, or re-pulls on the injury, then I will likely do it again Wednesday at either the same or just slightly more. Possibly by Friday working up to 100 meters.
So fingers crossed, as long as the injury doesn't act up then I will consider it a success and my slow start to getting back to running again.

As for my weekly weight loss progress, I only lost 1/2 a pound. But I actually consider that a huge success. Because after loosing so much weight while I was sick, I was sure I'd gain a good portion of it back when I started feeling better and got my appetite back.
But I really went strict with my diet this week so I could avoid that. I cut my calories back to 1,000 - 1,200 a day. I did a 50 minute workout each day, even on the ones I still wasn't feeling the best. Although I won't lie, I wasn't perfect I did have what I would call 2 cheat dinner meals this week, and on those days I couldn't resist having a Pepsi to go with them (no one is perfect:)
So all in all, I am pretty happy with the week!
