I think it’s good that you admit you struggle cause I struggle too. You really can’t be perfect and a leader at the same time. If you try, it’s unfair to your members. They aren’t going to be perfect and will look up to you and will never be able to attain that. I applaud you. XXOO

Running and swimming, wow! You are really my cardio champ! Take it easy on that muscle tear, though. You might want to add a little of strength training on your routine if you’re still looking for something more to do. Take care! — @ImAHotMom

I would add weights. It’s a great way to get past a plateau, bumping up your metabolism for quite a while after you’re done! Plus,. muscle burns fat, I know you know that! Keep up the good work!

I saw your tweet this morning about swimming – good for you! Isn’t it great that we have not only a support system (even for the cheerleaders!) and brain-storming group? So glad that we’re all in this together!!

Careful as you kick it up a notch. You don’t want to further injure your calf. These things take time to heal. Good luck.
I always enjoy reading your posts. Thanks for the info on posting a graph!

The swimming will also be great for your calf. I hope your calf is healing swiftly despite all the running. Have a great week Janice and don’t get down on yourself if you hit a temporary plateau.

That darn eating….I did the same thing this weekend and it made me mad, but did it anyways.

Swimming sounds like a great way to add something different to your routine! Have fun!

I wish that this journey was easy. . . unfortunately it is not. It is hard to struggle through days as a mom, wife, etc. and then to add healthy eating and exercise some days it makes us crazy.

I wish I had an opportunity to add swimming into my workout routine. I think that I would love it and it would be easier on my knees. Good luck with this addition to your workouts.

Have a great week!

Janice,

What a great post! Swimming is a great cross training activity that I think is overlooked a lot. As a runner, I am no stranger to the pool You have a great site going on here and would love to keep in touch.

All the best,

I hate that you are struggling these past couple weeks. However, I know you are only human and there will be trials to overcome. Good thing is you are figuring it out and getting ready to try other things with what you already have. Wow, you ran a 10k?! Amazing! Get a moving, you can do it!!
