BellaDonna Posted November 12, 2011 Author Share Posted November 12, 2011 Walked the dog this morning, then did cleaning and chores for 10 hours straight. I'm dead. I am happy I got it all over with today though because now I have the rest of the weekend to do fun stuff. Hopefully I'll squeeze in a gym visit too. My yard is filled with leaves, but I've told myself I can let that wait until next week. Link to comment
BellaDonna Posted November 14, 2011 Author Share Posted November 14, 2011 I really WANTED to go to the gym today, but time slipped away from me. By the time I was finished with grocery shopping and laundry, and I was ready to leave, it was close to the gym's closing time. (I HATE early closing times on Sundays!!! grr) I decided to do the next best thing. I went jogging with the dog. That was fun , except that every time the dog saw a squirrel he tried to make us take off in that direction. He cramps my style! Link to comment

BellaDonna Posted November 16, 2011 Author Share Posted November 16, 2011 I'll be sleeping well tonight. That is the only good thing associated with long days like this. Link to comment
BellaDonna Posted November 20, 2011 Author Share Posted November 20, 2011 Today's workout: Walking to the post office. Jogging with the dog. Ab floor work at home (3 sets of 15 reps upper able, lower abs, obliques -each side) Stretching 5 mins. -Resisted eating cheese pizza that was delivered to my house. It smelled so good,but ultimately I am glad that I did not give in. All cravings pass eventually. Link to comment
petite Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 You have strong will! Pizza is very hard to resist. At least for me lol. I it's like having a devil on one shoulder pulling my ear and saying it's okay eat the pizza, eat it, soo yummy and cheesy lol Link to comment

BellaDonna Posted November 28, 2011 Author Share Posted November 28, 2011 All of the Christmas decor is up. Cleaning and decorating was my workout today. I lugged about 6 large bins of Christmas decorations up stairs. I didn't stop for about 9 hours. I'm exhausted. Link to comment
BellaDonna Posted November 29, 2011 Author Share Posted November 29, 2011 I went on a 4 mile walk along a park path today with my dog. Aside from being a good workout, it was very relaxing. We walked on a wooded path, by salt water ponds, and my dog got to check out a "beach" today for the first time ever. He was a bit confused and the sand made him sneeze. About halfway into the path I noticed someone had decorated a random tiny pine tree for Christmas. What a cute idea. I didn't really expect to see a little Christmas tree with ornaments and a star in the middle of the woods. It put me in a good mood. Right about the same time I also heard a the sound of a distant bell tower from a church, playing accross the water, chiming a familiar song. It put me more into the holiday spirit. Link to comment
BellaDonna Posted December 2, 2011 Author Share Posted December 2, 2011 So tired today. I am really going to have to FORCE myself to exercise today. Link to comment
BellaDonna Posted December 17, 2011 Author Share Posted December 17, 2011 So far December hasn't been a good month for me. I really did it today though.....managed to fall down the stairs and sprain my ankle and get a bone contusion. I am just so relieved I did not break it- but I am splinted and need to stay off it for a week and apply ice. It is just about impossible to "stay off it" when you have a 4 year-old. I almost wanted to laugh out loud when the doctor said that. Oh well I am trying to "stay off it" as much as I can. I'll be out of commission this week. Link to comment
petite Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 OMG! When did you sprain your ankle? Just remember RICE! I found this to be the best "medicine", although I was also on painkillers when I injured my knee because I was in a ton of pain for the first few days. I also used link removed Heat Wave Reusable Heat Packs, they were great and really helped me in the long run. I know how you must be feeling! I've been there and it sucks! Link to comment
BellaDonna Posted December 17, 2011 Author Share Posted December 17, 2011 I sprained it today while chasing after my little guy....basement stairs. Thanks for the links. I like rice so that sounds good. lol I've been taking the meds but also putting Arnica on it. Link to comment
petite Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I should have guessed it was connected to your little boy; look at it this way you can't curse at him or blame him for the sprain because he is your baby! lol I heard Arnica was really good for sprains and bruises, so keep doing that! Send him to daycare and spend your time doing nothing except RICE and eat chocolates...read a book. That's the only positive side to being injured lol, you have an excuse for depression which means eating chocolate and being lazy haha Ah it's the weekend tomorrow, that sucks. You've got to wait until Monday! Link to comment
BellaDonna Posted December 17, 2011 Author Share Posted December 17, 2011 Ah it's the weekend tomorrow, that sucks. You've got to wait until Monday! Yep. exactly And to add insult to injury, my feeble and confused (neutered) dog, who apparently has never seen "a splint" before in his 9 months on earth...decided that splints are fun to HUMP. He got me once when I first came home, and has attempted several times since. It's extremely annoying. I have to spray him with a water bottle. I guess splints look like this to him: So if I stay home I'll be contending with that moron. I think I will take your advice about the rice and chocolates (and put the dog outside while I eat them).

BellaDonna Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 Completely inactive. Sedentary. Trying to stay off my ankle. grrrr It hurts like a mother. Link to comment
sophie274 Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I'm sorry Bella. You need a team of helpers so you can actually get some rest and let the ankle heal. If I were closer I would come over and cook/clean! Link to comment
BellaDonna Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 I stayed off it most of the day today since some friends came over. Hubby worked today but helped once he came home. So I followed the doctor's order pretty well today. I think I made it worse on Saturday by not listening though. tomorrow should be ok. I have to work but I can elevate my foot at work. My poor dog is confused abut why we have not been going for our daily walks. I've been using a laser pointer with him to exercise him, since he has fun chasing it but I don't have to move.

Flyingpiglet Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 ^haha, my dog loves chasing a lazer pointer, but I have to be careful where I point it as he will follow it anywhere... Dining table, back of the sofa, on the fire, top of the TV. Literally anywhere! Hope you're still managing to rest that ankle. Link to comment
BellaDonna Posted December 22, 2011 Author Share Posted December 22, 2011 Feeling a little better today. It's the first day I feel like I don't need to wear the ankle brace. I couldn't wait to get that thing off. Wearing it has thrown off my entire posture and alignment. I went to the chiropractor this morning he adjusted me back into a more normal state. I already feel so much better because my hip isn't hurting from the added weight compensating on one side from limping. It's unseasonably warm so I might attempt to take the dog for a short walk. I feel so bad for him this week because I have not walked him. As for eating, I have been HORRIBLE this week. Between a holiday work party and having candy and potato chip binges while being sedentary and in a bad mood, I feel a bulge in the waistline of my pants that used to be loose. I wouldn't be surprised if I slapped on 5lbs. I plan to get back on track in a major way in January. The end of December is always a lost cause for me with all the delcious tempting foods around in mass quantities. Link to comment
petite Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Glad you're feeling better Bella, I know how it feels to just be able to walk without a brace. Hope you and your family have a lovely Christmas. Buon Natale! Link to comment
BellaDonna Posted December 28, 2011 Author Share Posted December 28, 2011 Must get back on track. I have been walking more daily now that my ankle is better, but I need to get strict with my diet again before I gain weight. I already feel like my stomach is less flat than it was last month. I have a goal to work toward since I need to be bikini- ready by April- for a vacation. Starting January 1st my diet will once again be overhauled and every calorie will be tracked. Link to comment
