My titles suck..

Well, last week I think I did good with my eating. My mom was here and the weather was awesome which I am sure helped. We ate lots of salad and took lots of walks. Even with Easter and nights out I made pretty good choices. My goal has been to eat healthily without the 3 hour timing and list of good and bad food. After doing BFL for awhile I felt like I ate more crap. I know that sounds wrong but on free day I would eat stuff I would never have eaten it was to free. Then if I had a bad day it seemed I would munch all day and try to start up the next day. Well when you munch all day for Multiple days you don't lose much of anything. My goal is to make this week just as good as last week. There will be some rain and nobody to keep me company so this week I am on my own. Don't get me wrong I haven't been totally off with my eating these past few weeks. I just feel like I finely found a routine that works. I had days when I felt I ate all day and days I only had 600 cal. I think I found a routine that works for me. If I have a protein snack bar with my coffee for breakfast it seems to hit the spot. It is just enough to leave me satisfied and I don't feel like I want more. I don't know what it is but it seems to keep my appetite in check for the rest of the day. I hope I found my balance.
As for workouts I did a few runs this past week. It felt great and my mom was here so I got to go when I wanted. This week will be harder and I have to adjust my running days because I can not do the long runs on Sunday since I work 16 hours. I also had some shin pain and might have to replace some runs with cycle class. What a bummer I am thinking these shins will never be the same. I didn't lift any weights, but found a new routine I might try. I also want to learn to swim laps. How do you learn that? Do I just jump in and try to free style? Anyone know what I should do? I have a long term goal to do a triathalon sprint. I read about the sprint and the distance is very doable for me. I just need to learn how to swim laps. Learn how to cycle. Get a bike. The running part will be a piece of cake. So, I guess I have a lot of work to do. The sprint is a 20K ride, a 500m swim and a 5K run. Wouldn't it be awesome to be able to say "I did a triathalon"..even if it is a short one. I am afraid if I stick to just running my shins are going to brake.

Other life stuff....

I am looking for a new doctor. My primary care doctor leaves me waiting forever only to return with a print out from webMD. I can do that myself thanks you very much. My OBGYN never followed up with me. He said we would talk over the phone about my test results. Well, he was out of town and I got the reports on my own. I never herd back from him. He has been my doctor for three years and hasn't done any testing to find out why I am having problems with my cycle. I read that 85% of the time they should be able to do some simple blood test to find out why. So, thought it was time for a new doctor. I am going to start with a primary care and see if they want to refer me to a girlie doctor. I found some affiliated with the doctors at my job, which allows me to by pass some co-pays as a professional curtsey. Just another reason for a new doctor. My insurance has a $2,000 deductible, just horrible. We just got the finely bill from Natasha's ER visit and it is over 900 dollars Yikes. OK it is almost 9:00am, one more cup of coffee and then some phone calls. Have a great day everybody.
