I slept so good last night and I didn't get out of bed until after 8. I must have been exhausted.
This is day 6 of using MyFitnessPal app and I think I've made some progress getting my diet under control. I've lost about 2 pounds this week.

My cold symptoms are worse and I think it may be due to my track workout Tuesday. I wasn't able to run or cross train today.
Justin and I travelled to Charlotte this evening for HeroesCon. This is our second year and we're both pretty excited.

My foot was pretty sore this morning. I rolled it out with the tennis ball and did some yoga. Today is typically my recovery day on this plan but I had kinda thought about cross training since I will be in Charlotte this weekend. With my cold and how my body is feeling, it is best to stick with today being a recovery day.

I buried Max today, it was one of the sadist things I've ever done. I've cried several times and I keep thinking I should let him in or I find myself wondering where he is. He was the best dog ever and he will be missed terribly.
