I finally got a workout in this morning, after our power came back on. I woke up on the couch last night at 4:18 am to the power flickering and going off. Thankfully I knew where my supplies were. I got into bed and got up at 8 ish.
I did about 68 minutes on the treadmill at a slower pace (due to the throbbing in my broken finger) at 3.8 and at times when I could take the throbbing a 4.0 that was tough. I have to walk with my hand kind of up, and to my side to curtail that feeling.
I am up one pound I think due to the Subway I had last night (salty baked lays) and I splurged and had a cup of iced tea. I did this because well one, I was hungry and I wanted to give up last night. So I gave in on a bit of a treat.
It is because of all the chaos going on around my place, and now on top of it 6 weeks in a splint makes it kind of difficult to keep my regular pace. I know it will not be forever, but frustrating all the same because there is less than two weeks left in the GBG. And, the competitor that I am FREAKS because it is not GOING TO PLAN. So, I have to modify. I am not giving up, rather just changing the way I have to do things which sucks. But, I cannot not give up! Not now. Not after all of the hard work I have done.
So,for now no more running on treadmill (hurts too much) and just brisk walking hopefully daily! I need this for my sanity! Is Spring Break over yet?
I will hopefully lose something for Tuesday but truly not counting on it. Such is life right!! But the good news is that I already exceeded my very original goal of 20-30 pounds! I blitzed that one! Woot!

You are doing great, I don't think you are really up a pound, you are probably gaining a bit of water you lost last week when you were ill. Keep up the good work!
Thanks Anon!!
