This-n-that...

Well, here we are again, struggling. It's been 2 months since I first started slacking off, and I'm hoping to be getting back on track. Since my last post, I hurt myself, so that's been part of it. I was on my treadmill and stepped off wrong and slammed the side of my foot into the concrete floor. It was quite an event, the next 12 hours. I ended up passing out twice, once that night and once the next morning (according to the doctor, it was from the pain). So Chris dragged me to the doctor the next morning and they did x-rays. It wasn't showing a fracture, but she said sometimes they don't show up for a few days. I haven't gone back, just because I hate going to the doctor and I'm slowly working through the pain. I did what I was supposed to and stayed off of it (for the most part) for a week. I'm getting back into my workouts again, so I'm finally feeling better about that. I'm still up 2.4 lbs. today (from my lowest weight). It's a bit discouraging, but considering the time of year (all the eating) and then hurting myself, I'm not as upset as I normally would be about gaining. I just have to work that much harder to get it off and then some.

I do have a new goal to work towards though. I'm going to do a 1/2 marathon in April with my sister-in-law in Portland. We're talking 13.1 miles! I'm a little nervous, but very excited at the same time. I'm hoping my foot will be completely healed by then so I can do it. So I have 3 months from yesterday to prepare for it. We're going to walk it and do a little jogging too, so I'm curious to see how I do. I've never done anything like this before, so we'll see how it goes!

Well, I just wanted to post since I haven't done it for a while. That's becoming a habit, isn't it? :) Anyway, I'll try to be on time this week with my weigh in. Hopefully it'll be a good one!
