I've done interval training 3 times now. It's pretty good stuff.
But... my shins are starting to hurt when I run. Anyone know how to make that stop? I'm not sure if it's shin splints or what. Maybe it's just too much weight coming down on my bones. I've tried running in the past and I always creep up to this point where my shins give out before my lungs do and it sucks.
Also, went to the doctor on Friday to ask about sleep apnea. Turns out I probably have it. I also asked about lap band surgery. I'm taking the first steps toward exploring that as a viable option. It's starting to seem more and more impossible to lose a significant amount of weight and then keep it off on my own without some significant tools to help. Not quite sure how I feel about it yet.

Fire
Here's the story - serious burn out.
Mental break downs and group therapy. Eating to cope.
If I'm gonna be honest, this month has been really hard. But I feel like I'm on my way out of a seriously nasty pit.
To continue with the last blog's post, I have gone swimming with co-workers 3 times since then.
Today was my first serious workout in a looooong time. (I've been to the gym at least once a week, but haven't pushed myself and have been eating like shit.) I did interval training with John - (1 minute of running + 6 minutes of walking) x 3 = my face is so red it's purple. I feel surprisingly good and proud of myself for doing it.
John's gonna do the interval training 4x/week. You increase running time every week and it's supposed to get you running for 30 minutes straight within 8 weeks. I think I might do it with him. Although it might be more reasonable to up the ante every other week instead of every week.
Feeling very blessed that we left our front door and ran on the beach today, too!
PS - I cannot describe how much I love kale chips. Amazing. Toss some fresh kale in a bit of olive oil and spices then bake at 350 for 10 minutes - crispy, delicious, nutrient-packed treat!
