One after another

So this past week has been full of ups and downs! John had a 4 day weekend because of President's Day so on Friday we went skiing for 5 or 6 hours. We were sore the next day but still took the kids to the TN aquarium in Chattanooga and ended up walking around and holding Garrett for nearly 3 hours. So I took both of those as workout days. Then on Sunday and Monday John and I just watched movies. On Sunday when we went to go watch From Paris with Love (John Travolta)I wore heels and my heel started hurting that evening. Then Monday John had to send a kid off to boot camp so we went to watch Edge of Darkness with Mel Gibson and while I was sitting there I lifted my body up with my arms to put my leg under me and ended up pulling a muscle in my lower belly. Freakin' ridiculous.

So in the past month I have had shin splints, major heel pain and now a pulled muscle in my "core". I also haven't been keeping up with what I'm eating. In the past few days I have downed an entire 4 helpings of homemade mac n' cheese, 2 personal pizzas, 3 chocolate bars, 2 cans of Ginger ale, Steak rice and cauliflower dinner that I made for 1, 2 ice cream cones, Mexican, McDonald's, tons of movie popcorn and junior mints, and probably a whole nother half a list of things that would make you vomit just hearing about it all. I can really tell how they're affecting me. I feel sluggish, tired, grouchy, and I have a canker sore on the inside of my lower lip. I really have to make a major turn around. I was doing so good on the working out, despite my injuries, and eating better foods.

I think my problem was that when I was getting those new recipes to try out that I didn't get enough to make meals for weeks like we need. The meals I did make were amazing. And my in-laws don't really keep a lot of food around the house that can make separate meals that aren't all spaghetti. And I also have to make meals that the kids will eat so I'm not becoming a short order cook.

Goal for today: Stop eatting those stupid Chocolate Bars and drinking this Ginger Ale and get a workout or two in. Maybe make Ellie do a late night workout with me and do one while the kids are napping. We have all gotten all jumbled up with having everyone off of work for almost a whole week due to the snow.
