Brief Hiatus

In case you hadn't heard...I totally ate it at the gym and sprained my wrist.  Actually, the doctor said, "Your x-ray is clear, but you are so bruised and exhibiting so much pain in a certain area that I'm worried you'll knock your hand again and actually break the bone I'm looking at...so you need to wear this splint for ten days and we'll x-ray you again."

Thusly, I have not been participating in much of anything--though Brun and I did go swimming yesterday--because my mangled wrist is pretty limiting.  I've noticed my hand/arm gets really tired when I'm doing a lot of stuff with it:  I can't even wash my hair without getting tired or my wrist feeling painful.  But once I get this sucker off (hopefully Friday!), we'll get back on track.  In the mean time, please enjoy pictures of my injury and subsequent trip to SF Zoo for Liz's birthday!


Don't forget to check out Recipes...Bruno cooked something for me!

A Few Days

Bruno *says* I'm doing well teaching him about swimming.  I'm a little skeptical.  We're kind of putting the whole awkward floating thing on the back burner for now and working on his kick, instead.  Being the slacker I am (I was busy, but I should have made time for it), I did not do the Week 2-Day 2 run today.  I'll have to make sure I do it tomorrow, even if it's after work.

There isn't a new post in Recipes this week, but I well be adding some minor wedding stuff once I'm done with this post, so go check out Wedding Spot.


Annnnnnd, since this is more to hold me responsible for completing my food log, here's the last couple days--though I'm sure it's completely uninteresting to you.

BTW I was sweating like super crazy after I did the Week 2 Day 1 run.  It's only an extra half-minute of running for each of the four cycles of  run+walk, but I was crazy overheated.  I was breathing fine and didn't feel like it was too hard, but I caught my reflection  (WHY MUST THERE BE MIRRORS EVERYWHERE IN THE GYM? I'M GETTING A WEIRD HABIT OF STARING MYSELF DOWN WHILE I RUN) and let's just say "hot mess" would not have been an understatement.

On the other hand, I also did that run after work (19:30ish) and so the gym was packed.  They guy doing some sort of actual interval workout on the treadmill next to me didn't have headphones and kept looking around.  And, I'm assuming because I looked like a winded walrus, he kept checking my screen to see what I was doing and seemed very proud of me every time I did the sprint section...he would do this half-nod of approval before pretending not to be looking at me again.  It was actually very encouraging.  Anyways:

WEDNESDAY

 


And, before you even say it....I didn't eat breakfast today (Wednesday), because it was my day off and so I didn't have to get up until it was time for my 11:30 class, so I had brunch-ish kind of timed lunch.  Simmer down.  That's also why a turkey burger is listed as a "snack" lol.

Day One! And Kebabs!

Soooo, today I woke up at my normal time thinking I would have time to do the "Week 1, Day 2" run from my Couch to 5K app, but I completely underestimated what items I would need to gather before leaving and ended up having to just jog for a while on the treadmill.  Bruno is planning to do a mini triathlon in April, so I figured it will be a good goal to work towards.  I probably won't be able to get off work for it, but I'll try going to the gym to complete the same stuff using the treadmills, cycle machines, and swim laps.

In the mean time, and I'm sure it's completely uninteresting to you, here's my food log for the day.  I'll do a separate post with recipes for anything I cook after each daily entry, so be sure to check the "Recipes" section in the sidebar ;)
