August 10th, 2006 - Off track
I thought I was off the exercise track yesterday, until I realized that I’m probably burning more calories and gaining more muscles with these DARN CRUTCHES than going to class. Yesterday morning I missed the last step at home and sprained my ankle. It’s only noon, and I’m already so sore that going anywhere is exhuasting. Luckily, the next three hours are a training seminar, so I get to sit at the computer (once I get to the room, which luckily is right here!). I’m leading the seminar; usually Nick runs the computer and walk and talk and help people. This time, I’ll sit and talk while he does the walking part.
Saturday begins our big summer vacation: 7 days at a northwoods lake house. I was really looking forward to walking in the woods. Which I might be able to do by Wednesday. If not, I hope it rains the whole time. Well, not really, because then the little kids (12, 11, and 3) will be cooped up inside with me the whole time. (Plus our 20-month old, but she won’t be outside w/o an adult while the other 3 can go out together.) And I haven’t packed a thing yet. I’m hoping my niece will be willing to help me with that. Or my MIL. Depends on whether she arrives tonight or not…..
