No Car! Just Legs!
Had a little car hiccup on Thursday. With Valentines Day approaching, and love in the air, I think my car had fallen in love with another car, and got just too close!
I decided to take the opportunity and not be a lazy bum... and I walked 3.8 miles home from work today. And that too on a Friday evening.
Whoohoo! Here I come! I CAN DO IT!

Great start to my first week!
Great start to my first week! Really?
I fell down at the end of August. I thought I was fine, as I could walk. Painfully. I was going dancing 4 weekends running, on a swollen, tender and sore ankle. I finally went to get an x-ray - and it was fine. However, the pain and swelling was concerning me, and my Doctor had given me a referral letter for to see an Orthopedist. So I did. I was put in an ankle brace, and had to attend physical therapy twice a week for five weeks. I had torn some soft tissue, and was loosing muscle slack. If there is no improvement, then I would need an MRI and maybe surgery! YIKES!
I had my MRI 2 weeks ago, and have just come back from my MRI results... Good news is that I won't need surgery! Bad news is that I've had a cortisone shot in my foot! I have a bruised bone, have nerve damage and scar tissue. The cortisone will help with the swelling and pain. However, initially, there will be swelling and pain for 24-48 hours. :( At least once the swelling goes down I can wear my girly shoes, dresses and leave my jeans for weekends only! :)
So, it's not all that bad! I just can't go to the gym until Sunday now.
Great start to my first week? Yes, of course it is! I'm on a mission here, and I CAN DO IT!

Two Hours!
My alarms now go off at 5am every morning now. After a great spin class yesterday, I nearly did go to the gym this morning...
Nearly.
Unfortunately, I snoozed my alarm for 2 hours. I was awake, thinking, and contemplating.

No Wobbly Legs!
I went to my first spin class in the USA this morning! I was worried, because I had only gone to one spin class back in the UK, many many years ago. And all I remember was that I came out with what I term "wobbly legs"... :( Hence, I was worried!
However, the class at 24hr Fitness was great fun! I didn't come out with "wobbly legs."
It started at 5:45am. Going up a hill. Down a hill. Passing other cyclists. Nearly at the finish line! I WON!!! Pumping and energetic music. And a cute instructor!
I'll be back there next week!

Five Tubs of Ice Cream and a Workout!
I love ice cream. I eat only a couple of teaspoons though. Hmmm... Of several varieties, that is.
Last night, I threw out 5 tubs:
