Licking our wounds… November 30, 2008
Literally and figuratively. I’ve been off plan for 10 days and to say that I’m feeling pretty crappy would be an understatement. Originally, I was set to get things back together last Monday, but things took a rather crappy turn that evening. Let Lucy out into the backyard for her potty break when I got home from work. Almost immediately- horrible horrible noises. So I ran out there, and sure enough, Lucy was fighting with the neighbor dog through the fence. So I started screaming, and of course my neighbors were nowhere to be found, so I’m grabbing Lucy and this other stupid dog has her by the mouth. I started hitting her and hitting her, and she wouldn’t let go. Finally, I did the one thing that you’re never supposed to do- and stuck my hand in her mouth. Naturally, she bit down on my hand- hard- but let go of Lucy. I pulled Lucy inside and immmediately started washing out my hand- I had a couple relatively minor puncture wounds, and a whole lot of bruising. Then, I looked down and my kitchen looked like CSI. There was blood everywhere, and Lucy wasn’t letting me get close to her. Her entire front paw was red. Naturally, like any momma, I freaked out and called DH at work. Luckily, it turned out she only damaged her claw- she ripped off the top half and cut the quick. Ugh. But, by the time I got it all cleaned up, it was late, and my finger hurt like hell. Needless to say, a gym trip was out. And Tuesday night was spent doing all the cleaning I had planned on doing on both nights. Fam got here on Wed… and, well, the last few days have been nothing but food debauchery.
So, tomorrow is climbing back on. Three new 21 day challenges- 45 minutes cardio, 15 minutes strength, and 8 glasses of water daily. Two 50 day challenges- no fast food and daily tracking of calories. Plus, I’m starting C25K Tuesday, and will be running my first race on March 22nd. Booyah.
But, because I have nothing positive to comment on fromt he last few days… I’ll close with that. Viva la REM cycle!
