The Recovery

Well two weeks ago while expecting a great Valentine's day weekend including my 1st 5K of the season I was hurt. It for better lack of a term SUCKED! I broke my big toe on the right foot in several pieces as well as lost my nail and due to the force of the items that fell on it, it required 4 stitches. Pain is a word, the first 3-6 days were rough and now I am in recovery!

I started wearing a shoe off and on Thursday and Friday and was able to walk with DJ around the block (slowly) and at a fare pace. It is still sore, and yes swollen and ugly but, we are on the road to recovery.

I am going to start the training again for a 5K in April, is the goal. Kettlebells was GREAT and I would recommend it to anyone who is interested. I am planning on starting another class as soon as I am released by the doctor.

Hope you are able to get out and about and be healthy in the sun and daylight.

KettleBells....WOW!

The past week of so have flown past, busy with work and life makes keeping up with the blog challenging. However, 2 weeks ago I lost 1 lb and worked out 4 days, not going to complain.
This last week, with STRONG encouragement from my hubby I have 3.5 days of working out(shoveling on Sat. is considering 1/2) and about 1 lbs lost. Not the huge numbers but, at least we have continued the positive. I had some major "sweet" attacks this week and have tried but not always succeeded in avoiding them.

So this week, my Kettlebell class started, I LOVE IT!. Wow, totally different than ANY other fitness class I have taken recently. If you don't know what they are, well check out the link and see what its all about. Can say I was sore on Friday but, could still walk!!

I have good things this week, if weather permits I have a 3mile walk on Sat so wish me good thoughts and 2 days of Kettlebells plus a walking date with a new mommy on Wed at Merle Hay Mall. Here is to happy fitness!!
