Back where I was.

On last week's weight in plus I gained even more after that. Thank you, TOM. Or muscles. Or the cookies from Smith's. But whatever.

I exercised on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings doing thirty minutes of weights and then 30 minutes on the elliptical. It was much easier to do them then previous times and I was lifting heavier weights. Woo hoo!

On Thursday evening, for those that don't know, I was in a car accident where I had stopped on the freeway in the fast lane and I was hit from behind (she was going 55+) and I crashed into the car in front of me (and the car in front of them).

I'm still having a hard time.. I had (have?) a minor concussion.. no headaches but I've been really confused and just kind of out of it. I've been able to type (and text) but it takes me much longer. I'll write something incorrectly and it takes me awhile to figure out how come. And I'm in all sorts of pain with my left arm, neck and back. *grumble*

But, my kids are mostly ok which I'm thrilled about.

I'm a little down about the fact that I'm not sure when I'll be able to work out again. I've really been enjoying it and having the adult time to talk to Janae while we thin ourselves out. I was hoping by the end of the week that I'd be back in the gym but I'm not so sure now.. I'll see what the chiropractor thinks tomorrow. And I've been building up my muscles so well! Argh.. I'll never beat Grandma Thunder Thighs at this rate!

My appetite has gone way down (which is impressive considering the amount of cookies I consumed earlier this week.. bad, me!) and apparently I dropped the weight I had gained... 1.8. Which puts me back at the 34 pounds loss. Which puts me back where I was about two weeks ago. I can live with that.

It hasn't really occurred to me to count points (just realizing this) so I guess I should put more thought into that. Maybe I should write that down.. I've been writing everything down in this little notebook of mine so I don't forget things.

Which reminds me, I forgot to call about getting the neck x-rays from the Hospital so I can take them to the Chiro. tomorrow. Clearly my notebook method is effective.

Anyway, so that's where I am.

And no inches measured, due to the loss of my measuring tape. ;o)

  1. First things first, just get feeling better.
    Perhaps there will be a physical therapy aspect to your recovery that will help you maintain till you're ready to take on Grandma Thunder Thighs again.

  2. Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry about the accident; how terrifying. I'm glad everyone is ok (well, as ok as you are. You know what I mean...)

    Hope you're feeling better super fast!
