We’ve got a man down!!
Uncategorized February 20th, 2009So the other day when I dropped the tv and thought I had only hurt my back? wrong. I pulled an abdominal muscle, too. And last night when I went to run? Yeah, no go. So I tried today? And I made it one mile. And that was with a couple walking breaks. I pushed it too hard and then even the walking hurt. So now I am done for tonight. I’m going to try to walk 3 miles tomorrow and then try for anouther 6 mile run on Sunday, but realistically I’ll take whatever I can get Sunday! I hate not being able to run!!! This is so depressing. I only have 3 weeks before my bestie is here. Boo.
On the eating front, omg, I am superwoman! No, but really, I have been doing really well. Yay for sparkpeople. Apparently I don’t eat enough fat. Who’da thunk it?
I took the boys to play tennis this morning! What a hoot! They are all over the place. My 10 year old is okay, and I am slightly (very, oh so slightly) better. We just try to see how many times we can hit the ball back and forth! It’s fun though. I love those turkeys!
On the brother front, thanks for the comments. I know, I am a classic enabler. He called today and we talked for a while. I pretty much told him just what I think, and I’m not sure he liked it, but he listened. I really, really hope he can use this as a reason to grow up. I mean like REALLY hope. He did go with her to the doctor today, and I am proud of that. He also did tell me that he was going to be a part of the baby’s life, and that makes me happy, too. I reminded him of our childhood, and though he didn’t want to hear it, he knows I am right. Well, I did what I could and the rest is up to him.
I hope all you chickies are having an amazing Friday!

You’re damned luck you didn’t screw yourself up more than ya did. Moving a big assed tv all by your lonesome. Sounds like a bull headed stunt I’d do!
Wait for some help? I know it’s a weird concept, but apparently it’s better for your back. Hmmm.
I’m glad your brother finally called. I think that was the hardest part for you, not being able to reach him and left to stew on your own.
don’t forget…weight train with dumbbells, not TV sets!

Good to hear about the bro. It’s one step. You do a good job of keeping active. Good job on the food intake too. Not enough fat? Now there’s a new one! Oh and not to sound insensitive but How’s the tv?
I know if I dropped the tv I’d be freaking out because now we’d have to buy another one!
