Small Loss

I weighed in on Saturday to a loss of a little over one pound.  I know, I know, one pound is still a loss, still progress, still moving in the right direction.  But I just can’t help but feel disappointed when my weight loss is so small after a week of hard work!  I looked at the scale and scowled, “That’s it?”

But it was still a loss, and I really am happy for that.  It means I am 1.2 pounds away from a mini goal, and I aim to hit that mini goal this week.

A huge challenge this week is that, thanks to this plantar fasciitis pain in my heel not going away, I am going to nix running the entire week.  Not one step.  I need this to heal up, and I don’t know what else to do.  I will still strength train and do other cardio workouts, but since running even decreased mileage seems to be aggravating it, I am taking a complete break from running to see if that finally brings some relief.

Yesterday I cooked a big batch of chicken with portobello mushrooms, and since no one else in my family likes it, I have plenty left to pack for my lunches this week.  I like not wondering what to pack for lunch, although after the second or third day, I will be deathly sick of chicken with mushrooms!
