In my last post, I commented on the interval training I had just started. Well last week after following the program for three days, I was injured. I injured the Iliotibial band in my right leg. So, since the 8th I have been limited to slow walking and strength training as I work to strengthen and heal the ITB on my right leg. I hope to be able to resume running next Monday. During my down time I have read two very good books written for beginning runners. The first was written by Jeff Galloway and is titled Running: Getting Started and the second was written by John Bingham and Jenny Hadfield and is titled Running for Mortals. Both advocate a run/walk interval method. Galloway's is more conservative and I think the better approach for me going forward to prevent injury from running as I lose the excess weight.
I lost 4.4 lbs last week, bringing my six week loss to 28.4 lbs. I still am having difficulty eating all of my points each day. It seems like I am eating every two hours all day long. But last week I averaged more points eaten per day than the previous two weeks and my loss increased. Seems wierd to me, that by eating less I will slow my weight loss. However, I am now a believer, and I am doing my best to eat all my points each day.
