Well, I didn't blow my eating last night -- not completely. But I did blow it in another way. I hurt myself playing volleyball. I went after a ball, and my calf cramped up. CHARLEY HORSE!!! I've done this before, but never this bad. I'm still hobbling around today. I'm sure I'll be back to my old self in another day or two. But, walking, and pretty much any form of exercise is out. We were out super late last night, and stayed up even later when we got home, so I've been napping today. Probably a good thing, with my leg! My goodness- it really hurts. I can't straighten it out all the way -- it's like my calf muscle is about 2 inches too short. OUCH! My husband wonders if I didn't do something else, but there's no swelling, or discoloration of any kind.
Oh well -- like I said, I'll be fine.
I looked up online what I might have done to my leg. It sure sounds like a good old charley horse. It's caused by sudden movements that the muscle isn't used to. And it did say it can take a day or two for the muscle to relax.
I am psyched this summer. I really want to kick it into high gear, and get some of this weight off. I saw myself in a video last night, and I thought I was looking pretty darn dumpy! But then again, I saw myself in the preschool program video, and thought I looked ok. Clothes' really do make a difference! But I don't want to have to be constantly thinking about what is more slimming. I just want to be healthy. I want to look good too, but that will come, if I can get myself healthy.
Hope you're all having a wonderful holiday. Please remember why we have this day. This is a wonderful day for remembering, and honoring all veterans, and those who are currently serving our country. as well as all our loved ones who have passed on.
