Sooooo my shin splints came back. I was icing them the week before, just to be safe...then on Monday, they were a bit on fire. Then on Tuesday, I jumped on the treadmill, and then jumped off. They were pretty painful. It's only in the my left leg. I've been using the elliptical the rest of the week. I feel like they are at a very neutral point right now...not really healing...but not getting worse. Hopefully the elliptical is fine...every once and awhile I can feel them on it, but I will just adjust my stance and it's fine. The floor work is fine for the most part, and so is the rower. The only move that I had to adjust was doing a step over on the bench. When I stand up on the bench and then step down onto my left leg it hurt really bad. Which makes sense, because it hurts going down stairs sometimes right now too.
I'm going to startline during my break today to get new shoes, hopefully that's the magic ticket. And the trainer today said I should try exercises too...standing on a book, curl a towel with my toes. I should be more diligent about that...and freaking stretch too, as always.
In other news! I lost 10lbs on my whole30 last month. I'm stuck at a 155 right now...I really want to get down to at least 150. I'm trying out a cheat meal a week, whole30 rest of the time thing. But last night I had a Guinness and like
1 4 small cookies. Uggg. I swear I was slow at the gym because of that, is that possible??!?! So far it hasn't been uber successful...but this weekend will be a test. I don't have one planned...I REALLY don't want to cheat :(
