Spasms and Relaxation

Today I awoke to a muscle spasm in my right calf. I was able to get it under control by telling myself to breath and relax. I am not sure why it keeps happening as I drank enough water yesterday and I am taking a multi-vitamin and a potassium supplement. Of all the things that could derail me from this endeavor it is this. 
I took two walks today one 15 minute walk during my morning break and one 20 minute walk during my lunch. During my walks I noticed that my left shin muscle feels like it is straining. I know it has to do with my limp. As long as I keep my limp under control and my shoes tied tight it doesn't bother me as much. Combined I walked an approximate distance of 2.04 miles at an average speed of 2.6mph. 
To day I had a meeting with my Life Coach Patty Cooper. We discussed strategies for my weight loss and practiced some relaxation exercises. 
Breakfast was a 16oz Slim-fast shake. Lunch was a 6" turkey breast on flat bread sub with provolone cheese, lettuce, olives, onions. light mayo, and honey mustard. For dinner I had Lasagna.

Steps: 7264/5000
Cal intake: 1640/1500
Cal burn: 1187/900
