Disaster, Will Robinson!

Well, the week started off decent.  I weighed on Monday, and hadn't lost, but didn't gain, and my girly time is coming any minute, so I'm totally fine with that.  I went to Zumba on Monday, and it was a totally awesome workout.  I planned on going to Zumba yesterday as well, but...I freaking fell down and wrecked my hip a bit, and broke my toe in a most spectacular fashion.  Second worst break I've ever had.  So, that's it for working out for at least four weeks, and maybe six.  Depends on how fast I heal, and we all know that isn't very.
BUT, I won't slack off in the losing weight department.  I am determined to get to my goal of 25, or until I fit into my skinny clothes, whichever comes first.  I might be disqualified from the weight loss challenge, I'm waiting to find out, but even if I am, I will not lose my resolve!
(Besides, I'm not going to have much to do for awhile.  I can't put any weight at all on this currently, and it's my right foot, so I won't be able to drive for a good long time.  >:(   I might as well turn my whole focus on eating right. :P )

Tuesday Swimming 1 mile (46 minutes)

Stupid blogger ate my post from yesterday! I did 5 sets of 10 pushups yesterday (50 total), so I though soreness from that would slow me down today. NOPE! I did awesome today. Now, tomorrow.... ;)

Monday Exercise Bike + push ups (40 minutes)

Saturday Trail Running 1 hour

I also did a longer cool down (15 minutes). Powder snow is much harder to run in then packed snow! I did not realize that until I was about 40 minutes into the run (the way back). My hip is fine, but I think me and my groin muscles are going to have to skip the Jillian Michaels this week and stick to lower impact exercises.

Crazy Week

This week has been a week of minor injuries.  I'm fine now, but I had to nurse a couple of things for a couple of days.  I fell down the stairs.  I twisted my knee (a little), slightly stretched a muscle in my back, and wrenched my shoulder pretty good.
However, only little things, so I was feeling good by yesterday.  I went to Zumba!  She had to cancel class on Tuesday due to weather, so she had a special 2 HOUR class yesterday!  It was awesome and felt great.  I slept really hard this morning, completely missing getting the kids ready for school (John did it and let me sleep because he's a-m-a-z-i-n-g).  Knee only twinged a bit, back is fine, and shoulder is sore.  Overall, totally okay.
Weighed in Monday by myself, and yesterday at Zumba, and have lost 2.2 lbs!  So far, that's 7 since the beginning of January.  :D
Also this week, I had a cardiologist appt that went really well!  No increase in scar tissue, very little leakage and overall the heart looks good.  My doc didn't like that I had gained weight, but I told him I had already lost some, so he's confident that I have it under control.  He also wants me to go from working out 1-2x a week to at least 3, and he'd be happier with 4-5.  So I'll make those necessary changes.  I brought him pics of me at the finish line of a 5k and the triathlon, and he LOVED that!  :D  It was overall a good check up.

Taking a Week Off

Until Saturday. My left hip is crying "uncle" and it got both my groin muscles to scream the same thing. I'm antsy already!

Saturday Running 1 hour (5 miles)

I RAN 5 MILES IN AN HOUR, IN THE RAIN!! I opted for pavement today because I figured the rain would turn the trail into one big muddy slip n slide.
