Just a quick update because I know ya'll are all on the edge of your seats dying to know how my life is going. *cue reader eye roll* Also note, this will be my first and only post sans photos because blogger is being douchey.
The Foot:
If anything, it had gotten worse. I woke up one morning with my foot throbbing while just lying in bed. Before, it only hurt to walk on. I have been popping Motrin and rolling with a water bottle to no avail. I guess I kept telling myself it would go away. I have tried everything short of chopping it off. My husband suggested compression so he wrapped it for me on Saturday. All it did was throb more. His sister, an RN, suggested applying heat, no ice. This was the first time I'd heard this but I was willing to try it. She loaned me a heating pad and that lasted about 20 solid minutes of torture. Never again. The only thing that seems to help is ice and stretching. Thankfully, I was able to schedule a free sports injury evaluation with a Physical Therapist tomorrow morning. This morning it is slightly better, but the pain is still there. Thanks to all my amazing readers who have offered advice! Just keep praying I am not out of the half marathon for good! I will absolutely see a doctor when our insurance kicks in if I'm still in pain.
The Weekend:
Friday night we went to dinner with our neighbors at Bonefish Grill. Great company and great food. We're in the midst of hunting season so S has been up at 4 on weekends for that. I am a light sleeper people. Not a good combo. Of course with his new job he's been up at 4:50 so I better get used to it. I'm hoping my morning 5am workouts stick. I'll be up anyway.
Saturday was a lazy day for me as I had been elevating my foot. Just waited for S to return. He took a nap then we ventured out for dinner and Rascal Scooter Racing.
Yes, I rode the cart at the Walmarts. New all time low. My foot didn't hurt though, so I win. We had a ton of items to buy so I know I'd do alot of walking and I didn't even want to put myself through that. Slap a tiara on me and call me Honey Boo Boo.
Sunday I went to the gym because I just had to. I did a great arm work out and some abs and rode the stationary bike for the 7 miles I missed running on Saturday. It felt good to be active and my arms are sore today. Love it!
Biggest Loser:
I have been excited about the new season since months ago when it was announced that Jillian was back. Who else has a severe girl crush on Ms. Michaels?
(insert phtoto of Jillian's abs)
I want to be her and marry her in Hawaii all at the same time. I definitely was brought to tears a couple times during last night's episode. Don't hate! I am so looking forward to watching this season though. Any favorite competitors so far? I was so sad TC had to leave!
More tomorrow after my appointment, and this week will be the first give away for OPERATION RED BIKINI Participants! Stay tuned:)
I hope they give you some answers tomorrow! I think I'd rather Bob over Jillian- he just seems nicer, and I think you are totally justified in feeling pissed off and annoyed. Nothing sucks mroe than your body fighting against you! Get well soon!
ReplyDeleteI was bitching and moaning to myself (in my head) on Saturday during my run. I seriously thought of you and your sore foot and decided to shut myself and run. Good luck tomorrow. I hope you get some relief.
ReplyDeleteCart ridding - I have always wanted to do that. I hope you get some answers and feel better soon girl.
ReplyDeleteAhh I hate that it hurts that bad! I usually heat everything that hurts bc I am a wuss and hate the ice... It's cold! ;)
ReplyDeleteI am LOVING that the show is back on...JM was hardcore last night!!! I would have wanted to B-slap her! good luck at the doctor...hope you get to run again soon! I was up at 5 this morning and at the gym and I am about to fall asleep at my desk....those AM workouts are killer!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so pissed off at your damn foot! Ugh, I'm sending good thoughts your way!!! Once when I sprained my ankle I rode the carts at Costco, Oliver pretended he didn't know me because it was embarrassing. Men!
ReplyDeleteI'm sooo bummed I missed BL last night!
ReplyDeleteI was injured for 5/6 months and every step used to be incredibly painful. So yeah, I get what you're saying..after that..the fact that I can run, let alone CHOOSE to run is a HUGE blessing. Never will take it for granted again!
I hope it starts to feel better much, much, much sooner than later!!
I hope you get some answers tomorrow! You are totally justifed with the crankiness! I get the same way if I'm out of the gym for more than 2 days in a row for whatever reason! Working out just gets rid of the stress from the day and clears your mind and it always puts me in a better mood!
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited for Operation Red Bikini! So far i'm on goal...I lost 3lbs last week!! Whoop Whoop!!!
I hate when injuries sideline me. My shoulder has been acting up so i've been debating taking some time off from lifting. good thing i'm going to costa rica this week!! I would totally pick Bob over Jillian. He is adorbs. and he loves CrossFit. plus I would want to touch his muscles. allllll of them....
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed for you!
ReplyDeleteI am praying that your foot feels better soon love!
ReplyDeleteI was really hoping that TC didn't REALLY have to go since the other girl quit. :( Looking forward to this season!
ReplyDeleteCan I still participate in Operation Red Bikini?!? I'm so behind on everything!!!
ReplyDeleteIm sorry about your food - stupid feet! I hope you find out some more info at the physical therapist!! I have my bathing suit narrowed down for #operationredbikini - so EXCITED :)
ReplyDelete* FOOT :)
DeleteI liked TC but I also liked the girl who walked out the door. She was so pretty and I know she'd look amazing after she shed some weight. I think I like Catie, but was that a little awkward when dude who wants to propose to his gf said Catie was "an incredible, amazing person". It's on AGAIN tonight. WABOOM!
ReplyDeleteI heart Jillian Micheals so much I can't even stand it! haha! I haven't watched the first episode yet, but I've been hearing great things! I'm always so behind lol
ReplyDeleteHope the foot feel better soon! I know it's so frustrating. Keep your head up pretty lady!
ReplyDeleteAw girl I'm so sorry your foot is still hurting. Hope the doc tells you good news! I know how badly you wanted this 1/2 marathon.
ReplyDeleteI love the biggest loser but I HATE that TC had to leave I think that since that one girl just left that no one should have still been kicked off the show! Those kids are the cutest too! And Jillian is amazing! I love her :)
P.S. I cried like a baby but that might be the hormones! :)
I hope you get some answers about your foot!! Sending good vibes your way!! And yes, I was so stoked Jillian was coming back!!!! This is going to be a great season, can't wait!!!
ReplyDeleteYuck! That sucks! I hope it gets better soon. Next time, take a pic of you ridin the carts for our selfish enjoyment. Seriously, I hope your foot gets better quickly. I know it sucks to train and get all psyched for something and then it not work out. :/
ReplyDeleteHave a good rest of the week!
Bummer on the foot!
ReplyDeleteI missed most of the show but did get to see the entire weigh-in. Poor TC, I was so sad for that guy! But this morning on the today show he was there and said he's now down 71lbs!!! So great for him not giving up and sticking with it! Looking forward to tonight's episode. That show is so damn motivating! And I have to say I love Bob's glasses! :)
RICE: rest, ice, compression, elevation...
ReplyDeleteUGH! That so sucks about your foot! I wish I had advice to give you. :/ I have The Biggest Loser recorded and watching it tonight. I have always been interested in it, but never had time to watch it. Thank goodness for DVR! And, yes, I too have a massive crush on Jillian Michaels. Can't wait to see what the giveaway is!
ReplyDeleteGirl I am sorry about your foot. I know that must really suck. I am pulling for you! Hope you get some answers soon.
ReplyDeleteAnd my blogger won't let me upload pics either. I'll still read ya without the pics!
I totally tear up every episode of The Biggest Loser! Unless a contestant is just a nasty person, I am always sad to see them go...
ReplyDeleteYou are so right about wanting to run but not being able to, it drives me crazy when a person dreads it, because I want to get out there and run SO BAD, but because of my pregnancy and my foot pain, it's a no go. ARGH.
ReplyDeleteI sure hope the physical therapist can help you tomorrow, and I hope you can figure something out. I finally got some orthotics that seem to be helping my foot when I'm walking, but I'll eventually have to have surgery after I have this baby.
Yeah not going to lie I ugly cried a couple times during the episode.. Love that show and LURVEEEE me some Jillian!!!! Hope your foot feels better I had tendonitis about a year ago and it SUCKED and I had to wear a dumb robocop looking boot for 6 weeks so I hope you have something quicker-healing! Thinking of you!
