Day Three

Nothing spectacular to discuss today. One funny story...

While on the treadmill we are told (multiple times) that we are NOT to push the RED STOP BUTTON. IF we do, it's twenty push-ups. Now, twenty push-ups on day one is nothing...but today...twenty push-ups would have been the death of me, seeing how sore I am and all. Well, our cadences are printed on a laminated piece of paper for us to memorize and are set on the treadmill, making it easy to read and run/walk. Today, the fan was placed directly in front of my treadmill. Obviously the fan was blowing the cadences, and despite my best ability to keep the piece of paper upright and on the treadmill, it eventually blew away. I panicked and grabbed for the paper and in doing so, slammed the RED STOP BUTTON! I immediately came to a halt right as my instructor turned around. "TWENTY PUSH-UPS PT STOUT!" "No, no no no no no," I said, "The cadences!" I said, pointing to the laminated piece of paper on the floor behind me, my hair whipping in the wind. PHEW! The panic...I tell ya! He picked the cadences up, turned the treadmill back on (about twice the pace I was at originally, I swear), turned the fan, and demanded I start walking again. Lucky break!

Tonight I have shin splints from hell. Tomorrow we're working legs so I'm a little weary about how that's going to feel. I got a massage today and asked the masseuse to target the shins but these things don't go away overnight unfortunately.

Diet's going well. No dairy, bread, pasta, or soda. So far so good...of course, it's only been three days. Ask me how the diets going in two weeks. ;)
