Week 2: SPEED BUMP A MILE HIGH

*le sigh*

I'm just gonna go ahead and start with this picture so you can get an idea of how I'm feeling at the moment...

It would be super awesome and totally rad if I could be like, "Oh, yeah, so I was on a 10 mile run and sprained my ankle" or "I was doing an insanely difficult and advanced yoga pose and sprained my ankle" or maybe "I was working out in the gym doing some epic squats and sprained my ankle," 

BUT...

I was standing in the backyard on top of a folding chair. I was taking a photo of the backyard because we needed to submit a photo to a dog rescue for our dog adoption application. I stepped off the chair with my right foot only, the injured one, and put all my body weight on the one foot. When I stepped down, I felt/heard it snap/crack. My brain went into panic mode as soon as I heard/felt that. It's weird that I don't know if it was heard or felt, but it was there! The doctor said that was most likely the tendon. So, anyway, I fell to the ground, cried like a baby with my face in the grass. I immediately thought, "I'm alone. Josh is working and won't be home for 4 days. Crap. Who do I call?" 

Luckily, I have AWESOME friends who came to my rescue! Now, while I was lying there wanting to die, I had a few thoughts. "Oh, crap. I'm gonna get so fat. Now I can't run. Oh, crap. Now I have to eat even healthier to lose weight. Noooooooooo!" 

Katie, my sweet 3 year old who has a birthday TODAY was with me in the back yard. As I cried, she comforted me and said, "It's otay, mom. The spiders won't eat you, otay?" She clearly didn't know WHY I was crying. haha. She was my little companion. She came to the hospital with me in all her princess glory and held my hand as she walked next to the wheelchair I was in. Love this kid...

Don't judge my living room. We live there. lol

Well, I guess I'll be baking her birthday cake while sitting in a chair today! It also looks like I'll need to attempt to get a refund or sell my ticket for the next 5K race I was going to run in August. Grrrr...

Okay, so now onto the good news from the last week...

I TOTALLY CHANGED THE WAY I EAT!

AND. I. ATE. VEGETABLES.

Yes, you read that right. Vegetables. 

I have started eating a good breakfast every morning which is so new for me! I also ate mainly chicken breasts with veggies for lunch and dinner. I avoided sugar, fast food, and processed foods. It was so weird for me! 

Oh! Guess what I did? I packed the cooler with carrot sticks, oranges, grapes and strawberries and snacked on that while I was in town for 5 hours running errands. I did it! I didn't stop for fast food! 

I also went into the dollar store and for the first time in the history of the world...I didn't buy a candy bar.  

YAY ME! 

I didn't get to work out 3 days last week. I was so so so busy with my salon, but that was so awesome! It was great for my business! I did go to a 2 mile run on Friday night, though. At least I did something! Baby steps! 

As far as weighing myself, that won't be happening for a while! I can't put any pressure on my right foot without wanting to die, so.....We will just have to wait for that!

Alrighty! Here are my goals again...

MY MONTHLY GOALS FOR JULY:

-NO FAST FOOD FOR THE ENTIRE MONTH OF JULY

MY GOALS FOR WEEK 2:

-ARM WORK OUTS 3 TIMES THIS WEEK

-SIT UP/CORE WORKOUTS (ones that don't require me using my gimpy foot) 3 TIMES THIS WEEK 

-NO PROCESSED SUGAR (minus Katie's birthday cake)

-EAT EVEN MORE VEGETABLES AND TRY NEW ONES

Well, that's all for this week! I'm gonna go drug myself and elevate my ankle! IT HURTS! 

God Speed, my friends....
