I still have shin splints (sorry Leanna). I went for a walk this morning. The husband sort of pushed me out of bed. Then we were out of milk so I had to run to the supermarket (not literally...I drove). Then I came home, had two eggs and some coffee.
Then I walked. As I was walking, I heard myself thinking of my old motivational self-talk, which for the record is highly negative and involves the word 'fatty'.
This negative self-talk is not helpful. I don't quite have a new mantra - but I have new phrases that I use such as: "I'm strong", "I'm fit", "I'm on the road to a healthy lifestyle", "I feel good", "These shin splints are slowly improving and will be better next week".
I'm trying to visualize where I want to be instead of being negative about where I am. I'm not in a negative spot, I'm just moving towards a more positive one!
Also, I can't find my ipod. This is a problem. I might need to go and get myself a shuffle for exercise purposes (I like how they clip on). We (as in the husband and I) are planning on getting iphones when our contract with verizon runs out...so I don't want to go and get a whole new ipod, and I think a shuffle will work just fine.
Anyway, I walked 4 out of 5 days this week!

Yay on the walking! I hope the shin splints are gone by next week, they are not fun.
