The Little Things

Right this minute I am sitting in my pediatricians waiting room.....with my legs comfortably crossed. Sounds simple doesn't it? What about it, you ask? Well it's kind of a huge deal. A few short months ago this would not have been possible. I couldn't cross my legs. It sounds crazy to tell you that now but it's true. And it's sad. But sitting here now still not quite under 200lbs it makes me feel like...a million bucks. Crossing my legs. I feel like a girl again. It literally has brought tears to my eyes. Probably with a little help from PMS! Lol I love these little changes I'm seeing every day. It really makes it all worth it!

Hello again!  I swear I feel like I begin ever post by apologizing for not post sooner!  It has been super busy around here and it's like the longer I go without blogging the more I realize I'm going to want to fill you in on and the bigger the job seems.  Therefore, I put it off.  Today's lesson about moi: I am SUCH the procrastinator!  I literally once bought a book titled 'Procrastination for Dummies' and procrastinated about reading it and never did.  True story!  I digress....let us move on to the juicy stuff:

Person Trainer

So, I have been to the trainer, I believe it's 6 times now.  I'm still kind of on the fence about this particular one.  For starters, I thought it was going to be me and her.  Thats it.  But it's more like a class setting.  There's about 7 of us.  There other thing is I don't really 'get it' there. Like I don't know what I'm supposed to do if I can't make it to class or ..ok, for instance, I know that she does SOME one on one training, BUT I don't know if it's the same price (although I'm pretty sure it is), I don't know how you can get one of those coveted individual spots or why some do and some don't.  I don't know...I just don't feel like I can get in a rhythm there. I'm still hoping something will click and I'll like it more.  I have 12 more sessions so we shall see...

The Scale

I don't think I've done a weigh in with you guys since the big 50.5 post!  Can't believe I forgot to mention it ever since!  I had lost 5.5lbs since the beginning of March but then St. Patricks day and Spring break hit and I kinda got a little sloppy!  So I gained a little last week.  I think I've made up for it this week but we'll see on Friday.  As of March 16th I was down a total of 56.5!  As I sit this moment that number is debatable...we'll see in less then 48 hours though! :)

The Injury??

So, I've had this pain in my left calf ever since I started the C25K back in January.  It doesn't feel like any of my other sore muscles and it kind of comes and goes.  Yesterday after I did Zumba, I walked 3 miles and it was really hurting on the second half of the walk. This morning at the trainer we did legs although not too much calves but still a lot of calf stretching for lunges and such.  I was pretty sore but nothing new. Then I went to run up my driveway and it was like something snapped!  Not audibly snapped,  but it was just this sudden pain in that left calf like a freaking knife.  Of course all this had to happen in front of my mail man so I tried to keep running like nothing happened!  Eeek!  It was bad.  From everything I've been looking up, I think it's a Grade 2 Calf strain.  It says the biggest thing is to rest it and it could require 6 weeks of rest!  6 WEEKS!  I can't not Zumba for 6 weeks!  I'll gain 20 lbs!  I'm freakin out a little about it if you can't tell.  I'm just hoping I'm wrong and that when I wake up it will be all better!

Well, that's about it!  You're pretty much all caught up (again!)!  I'm gonna try to be a better blogger, I promise! :)
In the meantime...I will remember this!  Hopefully I have misdiagnosed myself!!
