What's on your Wednesday Menu?
Good morning, everybody!
I slept late today and was planning on skipping lifting. Then I said, "if my coach texts me I will go, and if not, I'll skip." Sure enough, when I went downstairs I had a text, so I bunked up and headed out. These next four or five weeks are the only time all year, when I really have to push myself to be active. It's cold and dark and home seems so snuggly.
It's funny the connections that we make through OH. I was driving home the other day and the DJ was talking about how he was broadcasting live from Pismo Beach. I never would have known where that was or anything about it, but as soon as I heard him, I thought "that's where Kelly and Emily go to take a beach day."
I signed up for the Reindeer Run again. It's on Saturday morning at 8:30. It was only 24 degrees this morning, hopefully it will warm up before the weekend. I haven't ran 5K since I did this one last year, but I'm a sucker for decorative headgear.
QOTD: Do restaurants count as stores?
Breakfast: Protein Bar
Lunch: Roast Beef

Have a great day, all!

Wishing Grim an uneventful surgery and recovery. Knee replacement surgery is supposed to be fairly painful. I am told much worse than hip replacement. From the sounds of it, Grim did awesome with the first knee.
Today, I have started my antibiotics at home for the abdominal abscess. They have prescribed 2 pretty strong drugs (Vancomycin and Entapenem). I am hoping this will clear up the infection and get me going in the right direction for recovery. Otherwise, not a lot to report on my end. Just eating per schedule, PT exercises, and resting. I am thinking of starting a beginner chair or basic yoga or Pilates class using Youtube. Just need to get back in the groove of things. I have had days where I have been feeling down about my situation, but it isn't going to change unless I do mentally. I just want to feel better, stronger, and back to "normal".
QOTD: I like to walk around Cabellas and even look at stuff that I don't do (like hunting and fishing). So much to see.
Eating every 2-3 hours. PT exercises, maybe a Youtube video.
