You have the power to change anything about yourself or your life!

This healthy food diet that I started last week was not too different from my regular meals so it was extremely easy. I did miss my rice cakes. Since I couldn't have rice cakes I started making frozen yogurt. I basically got greek yogurt (because it is creamier than regular yogurt), fresh strawberries and stevia vanilla cream sweetner and I blended it and placed it in the freezer. Every hour I would blend it again and continued doing that for a few hours until it was frozen and creamy. I was quite surprised that my husband liked it. He liked it so much that he bought us a yogurt/icecream maker. My nice recipe will be mango frozen yogurt!

Unfortunately I had to cut my workout short today because of shin splints. Today my husband and I were running at the track and my right leg was so sore that I had to stop. I guess I will have to give up running for a while! I iced my shins when I got home which helped a bit. I am also going to do some of these preventative strengthening exercises:

Walk on my toes
With socks off, gather up a towel that is flat on the floor, using only the toes.
Walk on heels
Draw each letter of the alphabet with the big toe of each foot in the air

I hope I will be able to run next week.
