Sometimes rain really sucks. Especially when I wake up and it is pounding behind my right eye. The only thing that seems to alleviate it is keeping the eye shut and lying on my right side. Or sitting at my desk at work with my eyes closed, trying to look busy. Typing this with one eye shut is annoying. All I want to do when I have these is sleep.We'll see how long I am able to last sitting in front of a computer today.
My left pinky toe is still sore. I was finally able to get into normal shoes today without wincing in discomfort. For two days at work I have been getting rather odd looks walking around the newsroom in my stocking feet, especially since the floor is notorious since it hasn't been washed in .... well, never. Good luck if my area gets vacuumed twice a week.
The bruised little piggy has definitely affected my exercising. Walking any distance has been almost next to impossible, unless I am walking slow or wearing "special" shoes. (Like my MBTs.) Thankfully riding a bike has been ok so far ... when it's not raining, that is.
Days 16-18
Saturday ended up being a decent day to exercise. I got out before all the rain hit. Inspired after going through my own neighborhood, I rode another five miles (or so, until I get my bike computer) through Lexington Park neighborhood. Ten miles, not too shabby!
Sunday I was limping around the house in the morning, but put on my MBTs in the afternoon so we could go grocery shopping. Going to Sam's and a Wal-Mart ended up having me on my feet for more than two hours. I think I walked an equivalent of a couple of miles through those stores. I tend to walk the isles and look at things I don't need. It was also sample day. Yeah!
Monday I did my Leslie Sanstone DVD and did the equivalent 4-mile walk. In her DVD you have to jog in this workout, but I lowered the impact a little by just walking in place a bit faster. I still sweat and got the same benefits out of the workout, I think.
I saw a really interesting workout program online while I was trolling QVC looking at other Leslie Sansone workouts (my current DVD is sufficient). It's called Insanity, and its made by one of the trainers who did the PX-90 workout for Beachbody. Insane workouts using your own body mass to get you ripped in 60 days. A co-worker of mine told me she did one DVD with a friend of hers and it kicked her ass ... and she's a personal trainer herself. I saw really positive reviews all over QVC for it, more than 300, with an almost perfect five-star rating. I figured I would give it a go, since QVC offers that 30-day money back guarantee. Compared to say, Amazon.com, who will only take returns if its broken. I am thinking I will give it a try and add it onto my current regime as my sculpting portion.
