Back into the swing of things
Mar. 5th, 2011 12:06 pmI had a lovely vacation at my dad's. I got there on Sunday and went in the pool and then went out to dinner. Monday morning I got up early and headed to Sanibel Island to Bowman's Beach. I was there from 9:30 to about 1:30 then had lunch at the Island Cow. Very good! I got sunburned of course. I was using spf 50 but missed some spots and was really red by Tuesday. Tuesday was spent by the pool and some window shopping. Wednesday was spent on the casino boat where I lost and my Dad won big time. He was kind enough to pay me what I lost so I basically broke even. Thursday was all morning at the pool and doing laundry. Then I packed up and headed out. The plane was pretty much on time and I got home at 7pm.
So I was back to work Friday for one day that was pretty easy. I kept thinking it was Monday. I did my weigh in and I am 1.4 lbs. I can live with that. I really think that last week I took the low number when I weighed even though I could not get it to repeat. I try to get the same thing at least twice. The good things is that I was able to take some capris to Florida that I could not wear last summer. I did write down all that I ate and kept up with my meds and testing my blood sugar.
Since yesterday was Skunkie's birthday we went out to Olive Garden with some friends and had a great time.
Today was back to the Y. I did 25 minutes on the treadmill and 15 on the elliptical. I was really feeling it. A good sore and my heart rate was in the cardio range. I took the time to cool down and then headed out in the rain. Then the annoying thing happened. I slipped off the curb and went down. I heard my left knee pop and with the rain my butt got soaked. A guy saw me fall and was like are you ok. I held it together even though I wanted to cry. He helped me up and I was able to walk on to my car. I took some anti-inflammatory meds when I got home and soon I will put some ice and go elevate the leg. R.I.C.E... not sure I can compress it though. I also have my cane just in case.
Guess that is about it for now. :)
