Still here
Yoga was so much better this week. Both classes were productive and enjoyable. Of course, as soon as I got back on track, I had to go and fracture my little toe by walking into a door in the middle of the night due to a lummox of a dog blocking my path. Now, I'm just hobbling around, checking to see what different florid shade my toe is turning every hour. Who knows how long it will take to heal, but until then, most exercise is out. I was thinking of getting my bike out of storage, but I'm not sure if I could ride it with the injury. I think I will still do some yoga, but it will only be the stretching kind, not the standing poses and vinyasa sequences that actually burn calories. I'll probably bust out my hand weights, too.
We went to Target today as a family outing. I knew it would be painful, but there is just some shopping my husband can't do without me, you know? After about 30 minutes, I had to hobble back to the front of the store to the bathroom. As I was facing the pain of walking to the toy section at the OTHER END of the store, I seriously thought about hopping on one of those Hoveround/Little Rascal scooters. I had to ride one once when I was 9 months pregnant, and the humiliation is still with me. Usually the only people I see riding them are the people who are too fat to walk. I just kept thinking people would think that about me! Ack!
As you can see, I am still being plagued by negative thinking. This was something I had really made progress with the last go'round. However, it's really back with a vengeance. Sometimes I think that keeping positive thoughts is actually more difficult than losing weight.
