OK, so why haven't I been blogging???? Because I fell into one of those traps that seem to catch all of us chronic dieters..I broke a body part, and just couldn't find some alternate way to exercise. I broke my toe. How could such a small, usually ignored little digit cause so much pain!!! I must have subconsciously blamed my Jillian Michaels' 3-in-1 aerobic step, because I've sure been ignoring her (She has taken on the persona of the real Jillian Michaels). I had been faithfully doing my stepping, and, after reaching a point close to death from heavy breathing and muscle fatigue, I took a break with a speed walk around my living room. With a wide round around my coffee table, I managed to collide with a recently purchased case of two-buck chuck from Trader Joe's stacked with a case of EAS protein drink (You know, a little red wine provides those necessary anti-oxidants!). So, thus ended my 100 day exercise challenge, on day 68.
That was two weeks ago. Today, my toe is much better. Still taped up, but I can now walk on it. A few 12-hour shifts prolongued the pain a bit...it didn't like being shut up in hard toed shoes (The doctor didn't tell me the whole top of my foot would turn purple.)
What's that? Oh....I think I hear Jillian calling! Gotta go!
Pam, Get back on that step. My excuse has been it is too cold to ride my bike to the gym so I drive and today my excuse for canceling with my trainer was I didnt want to leave the dog alone since he has been stuck to me like glue since Andy started working in Tucson last week.
