What a feverish weekend. Mom and J were over this weekend, and Saturday while the boys were out playing in the sunshine, I decided to split some kindling. As I am stacking another log on the splitter, I ran my hand up into the axe blade. A few hours later, some stitches, and I have all of my fingers and thumb, and thankfully no nerve or tendon damage. Yay!!! Of course it placed a small kink in the dinner plans, and the evening skating with my mom and my best friends, but overall it is what it is.
On an up note I did notice while out to eat at a restaurant, that I was full before I ate half of my burger, and had even removed the bun and most of the starchy sides. Additionally, I found myself very content with smaller portions and eating simply. Didn't want dessert or other sweet goods, (except for when at the hospital, I need hard candies to help stay focused). I also felt really good after my small workout on Friday. 30 minutes of cardio, followed by a 5 crazy exercise circuit with minimal breaks, repeated 3 times. I was dripping sweat and having a hard time completing them all. YAY! Now, I am somewhat glad that I did a LOT of pushups on Friday, because it might be some time before I can do them again.
I took some photos of myself, some very honest photos, of me in my skivies. Using them as a comparison along with my weight and measurements to see where I am, how far I have come, and generally.... to keep me motivated to keep going.
Today's measurements:
weight: 166
waist: 30
hips: 41
