I believe I mentioned last week that there was a discrepancy between my scale here at home and my mother's and sister's scales down in Kanab. And it isn't a little discrepancy either. It was several pounds difference. So, the husband and I bought a new scale. So I'm starting at a new number right now.
And the results are going to be rather tricky.
If I go according to my weigh-in last week on my own scale then I've suddenly last 5.8 pounds.
If I go according to my weigh-in on my mother's scale then I've lost a pound.
It seems that our new scale is measuring like the scales down in Kanab, so I think we can assume that I've lost a pound this week. Which is awesome!
However, what's not so awesome is the fact that I seem to have shin splints from running. When we got back home I sort of overdid my run...by like 2 extra miles down and up hills (because I was running down to the store for my sick husband) on top of my normal run. My legs have been dying every since. And when I went running last night I was hurting bad. I did some research and sure enough my "symptoms" point to shin splints, which isn't uncommon for a flat footed runner like myself.
Le Sigh...
So I'll need to wrap my legs before I go running and really ice them down to relieve some of this swelling and pain. It's a bummer, but it's not going to stop me.
Though it may make me take it easy this week.
We'll see!
