The Shins.

Hey Al Gore, here is a real inconvenient truth, I have shin splits.

What a bummer. It makes running hurt and not in a "good kind of hurt" way. I have had to resort to the elliptical and the stationary bike because they are easier on the legs, which is fine, but I just really love to run. I like that for thirty minutes I can check out for a little while and just go. But, for the next few weeks I will have to be kind to the old shins and let them rest. Your welcome shins, I hope you appreciate the fact that I hate the elliptical and am doing it anyways.

Other than that, the eating under 1300 calories part is going really well. Making smart decisions and paying attention to serving size helps a lot too. Found  a recipe for a chocolate pie that has 171 calories per slice, so that has helped me with my chocolate fixes. If you know me, than you know I can't go without chocolate at least once a day. I am like Chelsea Handler and her Bellevedere (sp?) vodka...but instead my weakness is anything covered with chocolate! If Chelsea Handler can be fit and still drink all the time, than I am bound and determined to be thinnish and still eat my chocolate.

Thank goodness for sugar free chocolate pudding!
