Today as I blog, the house is quiet except for the hum of the fridge, the occasional snore from the pups, the constant snore of Brett napping in the recliner next to me and the TV playing "Doom." Yes, this is quiet. Perfect opportunity to blog! I'm enjoying it, anyway! The weather is cool and rainy, kind of gloomy, makes it nice to be relaxing at home during nap time in my comfy sweats and red Muppet fur Acorn slippers. Ahhhhh...
You may recall that I injured my foot by jamming my toes when I tripped on a dog toy a while back. Well, I did something to it again! It is really bugging me because last night, after a long day of shopping and walking around, I could barely walk. I wake this morning and it is better, but the muscles along the outside of my ankle and the inside of my foot are tight and sore because of the overcompensation last night with my nice limp. I don't even want to list what I think could be wrong with it, so instead, I try to rest it and get better to start the week off with a bang, TurboFire style.
I have two weeks left of TurboFire and I am so incredibly glad to be moving on to something new for a change. I hope I miss Chalene and can take on a TurboFire workout here and there as I feel the need during my "off" days from Insanity.
Injuries are not part of any of my plans. I did say that I would join water aerobics and try to do chair aerobics, but I'm not sure I can follow through with that. I may have to get creative and create my own workout. We'll see how that goes. I'm hoping with another day of rest, I can jump back into it, literally and figuratively.
The rest of today will be spent putting away laundry, doing the last five loads of laundry and vacuuming. I've done everything else for the day and it feels good. Maybe Ty and I will bust out a little Billy Blanks later and he and I can workout like the good old days. Ty and I, not Billy and I.
Even though I've not worked out today, I have kept busy and active, except for blogging, which I don't think really has too much of a bearing on burning calories. Yesterday, as I mentioned, I shopped all day long. I also went way overboard with the consumption. Starbucks, then McDonald's, chocolate covered fruit, gyros for supper and Dairy Queen for dessert. Yep. I did that. I really did that. Yesterday was my free day. Free day is an understatement. Big understatement. I enjoyed every second of it. EVERY second.
Signing off for now, to all of you near and far and to those of you calculating the approximate amount of calories consumed yesterday, until next time...
You could always do the workout I did while I was in California. My friend lives in a 55 years and older community. they have an exercise class twice a week and we went to it--it helps all the "older" people keep going if us "youngsters" go. Believe it or not they have a video tape of Richard Simmons from about 1980 or so. It's a hoot, but it does actually make you sweat some and does get your heart rate up. He "works out" with Sly Stallone's mom, Farrah Fawcett's mom, his mom, Al Pacino's dad and Dustin Hoffman's dad. It didn't even hurt my knee, so it's pretty low impact when you've got something that's almost broken!! It cracked me up!!
