After resting my knee last week, it is feeling one billion times better. Hypochondriac jumps-to-the-worst-conclusion me had convinced myself that I had torn my meniscus and would of course require surgery...
Of course that's not the case, thank goodness! It is feeling 99% better, and while I'm planning on giving it another week before trying running (hey, after the nonstop injuries I've had, I am overly cautious these days!), I'm trying to get myself to do some cross training this week. I don't know about you guys, but if I get out of my fitness routine for one week, it's AWFUL for me to get back into it! I made it to the pool Sunday, but all I did yesterday was curl up on the couch and watch 3 hours of Downton Abbey aka my new obsession...
Have you seen this show yet? Amazing.
Today I had GREAT intentions to get to the pool again. See? I even laid out my clothes and stuff out before I left for school, planning to come home and change right away! Needless to say, they haven't moved...
Okay, okay...I promise I have a great excuse! Teacher Mom texted me at 7:06am, "FYI Carsons has 60% off boots." Well, what was I SUPPOSED to do? Of course I emailed her immediately suggesting we meet for shopping and dinner after work. Teacher Mom loves shoes too, so she was in! Behold $40 boots:
Because by this point it was pretty clear that there was NO way I was making it to the pool, I figured the least I could do would be to buy a new swimsuit...and some new crops for running/yoga...before I knew it I had spent way too much money. (Who am I kidding, this happens every single time I go shopping! I have a problem!)
Oh goodness. Even though I didn't make it to the gym, at least I got a stack of papers graded after school. Tomorrow, GYM! I swear. (Unless there's a sale on shoes somewhere else...) ;)
One of these days I'll muster the energy to talk about school...maybe...
Must be the time of year....school is my least favorite topic right now. It is exhausting.
ReplyDeletehaha. i am ALWAYS buying workout clothes. and tooo many other things that i shouldnt be buying. my favorite thing to do right now is to buy running stuff...even though i cant run. haha. so it definitely counts as taking the place of going to the gym in my book ;)
ReplyDeleteYeah, exhausting here too. I thought today was Thursday and there are two days left to this week, not one as I thought all day. Fun purchases though. I may shop on line tonight!
ReplyDeleteBuying workout clothes totally counts as a workout. For sure.
ReplyDeletep.s. I miss your face. Just saying. Up for a 5k or 10k on Feb 12?
