I have broken my baby toe. This - 3 days before I plan to start my 5 Week Challenge to get back in the gym/dance/run/do SOMETHING active 5 days a week as well as continuing my calorie count in order to lose 10lbs in 5 weeks... I'm seriously going to cry just thinking that I may not be able to do this to the intensity and extent that I want to. I'm really hoping maybe, somehow my swollen, purple super uber painful toe is just sprained and not broken... I'm thinking that's not likely seeing as it hurt so bad this morning just lying in bed that I thought I might throw-up a little.
note: Ibuprofen is a miracle drug.
I'm so mad at myself. I mean, seriously. If I had just walked to the bathroom a little slower, if I just hadn't been wearing make-up therefore eliminating the need for me to go hunting for my make-up remover... if I just hadn't stayed up until 1am... uggh..
My plan for the day is to move as little as possible while at work (yes, I still came to work because I'm an idiot. We'll see if I make it back from lunch), get some surgical tape from CVS or somewhere and tape this toe to a healthy toe, prop up my foot and take a nap when I get home since I barely slept last night with the late bedtime combined with broken-toe pain, pump myself full of Shaklee vitamins and pray pray pray that I can squeeze my foot into my gym shoes and at least do upper-body/core workouts next week with maybe a little stationary bike or elliptical action... so much for my excellent idea of doing Just Dance to get my cardio in on days I don't hit the gym. -.-
(Just took my sock off to show Alex my toe... uh, yeah, it looks like 100 times worse than it did this morning... FML!)
Stats for 1/4/11:
- total calories: 1943 - 150 flex calories until Saturday. -.-
- no workout
- a LOT of smoking.. uggggghhhhh!!! the more I write in this post the more I kind of hate myself...
- 1am bedtime...
- $6.67 spent at Taco Bell for myself and Mike, $17.30 spent on drinks while watching the Arkansas game including tip... total spent: $23.97. $52 left till the 15th (next pay period).
That sucks! I hope it gets better soon!
ReplyDeleteThe stationary bike is probably going to be your best bet. That should be easier on your toe than even the elliptical. But don't push it too hard!
Does your gym have a pool? That might be just the kind of low impact thing you need.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't have a pool - which stinks. I'm at least going to get my weight workouts in - which will probably exclusively be upper-body/core which is what I need to work on the most anyway. I'm so depressed about this, it's not even funny.
