Wednesday

Gosh, is it only Wednesday?  Feels like it should be later.
I did bike/elliptical today.  I only got 18 minutes though.  I'm just feeling a little tired and run down today for some reason.  Probably stressing about leaving in three days for vacation and all the stuff that needs done before then.  Still, at least I did something!

I had a Dr.'s appt for my fungus toenail today.  The swelling is much better, and my doc thinks it looks good.  She told me how to keep it from getting infected when we go on our vacation to the beach in FIVE DAYS. 
Today was a weigh day and I gained two pounds.  But I'm not counting them because they were not my fault.
I also took a 45 minute, vigorous walk with my neighbor friend.  I LOVED it, but now my recently broken toe hurts and is swollen.  *yet more fist shaking*  Next time I go, I'm going to tape it up really well, with cotton balls and stuff to keep it in place.  But I still got a 45 minute walk!  With hills!  >:)

Monday JM 30 day shred workout 2 (25 minutes)

With 10lb free weights. I hope to swim tonight too! ;)

Today!

I did 31 minutes bike and elliptical today.  No housework, though, lol!  Still, a three minute improvement on yesterday, and I worked even harder today than yesterday.  Toes still hurt.  *shakes fist vigorously*

Friday

Well, I did it!  I did some lighter cleaning this morning, so I was able to get a conventional workout in.  And all of my running around at school and heavy housework has paid off!  I was able to do 27 minutes of bike and elliptical, and I was able to work harder than I had been able to before.  I actually could have gone longer, but I'm having two kinds of toe problems now.  The broken one, which IS better.  My doctor told me to get sandals with a heel strap (oh, twist my arm to go shoe shopping, lol!), instead of flip-flops so the ball of my foot could relax, and that is helping a lot.  (plus the sandals are super cute. ;) )  The other toe problem is a fungus-y toenail.  That in itself has not been a big deal, but I cleaned the tub in one bathroom and the shower in the other yesterday and the day before, and was standing in water with all the dirt and cleaner in it, and that seems to have irritated it, or kicked off some kind of infection.  It's all swollen and red, and it hurts.  Liz Luck strikes again, lol!  I'm going to go see my doctor about it on Monday, unless it's better by then.  But since I can at least do some working out, I will continue to as much as it will let me.  *shakes fist at all toes*
