Wednesday Weigh In (13)

Let me just start by saying that this week has been/ still is, crazy busy!

I am so looking forward to a couple of days of nothing Sunday and Monday, but for now it's only Wednesday and that means it's weigh in day.

Soo, Friday I fell and sprained my ankle, as you know, making the rest of this week quite miserable. I use crutches when possible but I am quite stubborn and refuse to use them in public so I mostly just hobble around. The rest of the week has included my Dad and I cleaning out my grandpa's house and preparing for a yard sale/ estate sale this weekend. My ankle says please stop but I haven't been able to stay off of it much at all. By the end of each day I am 100% drained. This coupled with some sort of respiratory thing and all the dust flying around as we clean has me feeling pretty puny. The nursing instructor where I work is concerned, in a motherly way, but I assure her Sunday and Monday I will try to stay off my ankle as much as possible and breath in some much cleaner air. ;) Resting is just not an option this week and sleep is hard to find with all the coughing. So there you have it limping and crutches when necessary throughout the week have been my  lower body workout. Coughing has been my ab workout.

(Side note about the respiratory thing: My voice regularly disappears and or cracks due to whatever this is I have going on. My son who is 13 and going through the same thing for different reasons informed me I sounded like I was finally making it to manhood... He was proud. What a goofball.)

The temptation to throw myself a pity party has definitely been there. I've definitely thought some cheesy, starchy, comfort foods in mass quantities would make me feel ALOT better, but for the most part I have avoided them. Fast food however has been unavoidable while working for hours on the house. Also soccer finally started this week! But since we are playing on a team out of town , eating out after practice is about our only option. I'm learning how to make that work for me. I love menus with calorie counts right on them... Thank you Chick-fil-a!

So drum roll please....

I'm down 1.6 this week! Pretty good I'd say. Managed it without tracking again! And of course it probably would have been more had I not been building some serious muscle with my creative workouts this week. ;)
