Aches and pains

I have a sharp pain in my left knee, which felt heavy and swollen the whole day 2 days ago, a pulling pain in my right calf, a shifting pain in left low back-as if it will give away, a tightness and pain in left hip, a tired fatigued discomfort in the mid-back, runny nose due to cold or allergies- cant figure out which but have it in these months for the last many years, in other words- Welcome into the forties!!

But since I am in the forties now, I knew how to tackle all the above, I rested for a couple of days and this morning went for a R/W with my DH who is nursing his own forties pain in his right calf. So he slowed down a bit, I took some more walking breaks and we covered a distance of 3.7miles which included a killer hill in a light rain.

So I am feeling good so far. I should actually be doing a LSD of 9 miles according to my half-marathon schedule, but thats not happening this week.

On the diet front, things are dragging along. I seemed to have lost another pound in feb to make a total of 5 pounds since Nov2008. However those 5 pounds come right back after a small meal at Panda Express, so I dont know if they have left me for good. One day of eating right and I am 5 pounds less, one salty meal and there I am, all puffed up like a puffer fish.

I am trying to cook healthier. Trying to incorporate more veggies in my meals, less processed foods, and no I never did try the bread. Maybe some rainy day.
