Day 40

Wow guys! thanks! I am surprised at the run too. So today my body decided to be stubborn and would not move. I returned from work at 6 pm (had started work at 7 am) and decided to go straight to the gym. Just couldn't move - no energy and on top of that my soles started to hurt bad, so just a single mile. Reason (maybe) - I wore 3 inch heels after 7-8 months. Used to wear heels everyday to work for so many years and was comfortable in them, stopped for 8 months and now....but I am not sure, the archs of my feet were hurting not the heels or the front portion of the sole (sorry, can't remember what it's called, brain is fried). Hopefully, tomorrow will be better, I will be more rested and will be able to push myself a little more....
Yes, a blog is a wonderful way to track progress, but since I am laziness personified :( and sometimes don't feel like going through the old blogs to check the details, I created the spreadsheet, one look and I know what I did on which day - sometimes laziness can really make you work :). NB is the more active of us two (as if it wasn't obvious by now), with 2 kids and a husband (that makes 3), she has to be. So she patiently rummages through the old entries and can easily track her progress, and maybe that is the reason she doesn't make the effort to update the spreadsheet :(
