Morning Meanderings…Pathetic with a capital P!

Published on by Sheila (Book Journey)

Good Morning.

*GAH*

I have been sitting here thinking about the last month and my lack there of my regular scheduled work outs.  I can not even really blame the bike injury as it started weeks before then… actually mid May.

Prior to BEA (New York) I was too busy with regular work stuff and meetings to do my kick boxing and group power lifting… back from New York I was recovering from New York (does this happen to anyone else?  Where you need to recover from the vacation?  Just wondering…)… that weekend I had a 40 mile bike ride…. woo hoo…. bit of exercise….

then nothing until the MS 150 the following weekend where I crashed at mile 71 and have done nothing since….  😯

So – pity party aside… 

here is my game plan of what I CAN DO…

I CAN still roller blade.  I have a deep gash on my right ankle but I think if I cover it I will be ok.

I CAN walk and jog on the tread mill

I CAN use the elliptical

I CAN take my dogs for walks in the nearby park… something I always plan to do… but never do…

I CAN bike…. (yes, I can!) and today I get my bike back – woo hoo!!!

So there is the “plan B” in my life… I do not have to be inactive, and I need to get moving in a stronger more positive direction.  😀

LAPTOP made it home yesterday and is working fine!  My bike (which I call Opportunity Drive) will be home this afternoon.  I WILL make a full recovery from this injury and move forward starting today. 

Ok… no idea where all that came from other than I am tired of sitting around with the TV on.  Back to the books and the fun.  😀

Work out with me this weekend…. share your ideas for getting a little exercise while having fun doing it.  I would love to know!

  2. I’m having a bit of trouble with exercise too on account of it has been in the 100’s outside lately, and in the house I rarely exercise since there is the couch and books calling to me. I share your UGH and GAH!

  3. i work in an orthopedic office and as much as you want to exercise…i would advise against it…if you have a cast on and you sweat your skin can become extremely irritated in the cast
    if you fall you can reinjure yourself in the cast
    i apologize for being a downer!!!

  4. Oh, just the slightest thing can tip me off my schedule of exercising…probably because I’m looking for excuses…LOL

    And yes, I always have to recuperate from vacations. It’s probably all the out of the ordinary stuff we do when we’re away from home.

    Yay for recovered bike and laptop!

    1. I try to find ways to work out every day Laurel but not so much this last month. I have to believe though that all the walking I did in New York and in Chicago has to count for something. 🙂

  6. So glad you’re feeling better! Totally understand about needing time to recover from vacation, as I always need a day or two to get back into the swing of things. BEA especially, as I was exhausted afterwards! Please be careful while easing back into your exercise routine, as I’d hate for you to suffer any setbacks!
