First Weight-Loss Injury

Well I figured I would come out of the 5K with my body hurting but I wasn't prepared for a foot injury. 

 

          Look at my big toe; I swear I thought it was going to bust open.

My foot is huge!!! It doesn't really look like it in the photo but it was killing me after work today. Luckily I was able to keep it up most of the day. I went to the doctors yesterday and I have a sprain. I noticed my foot hurt during and after the 5K but I just thought it was part of the rest of my body screaming at me. On my way to take my brother home it was really hard for me to put pressure on it enough to push the pedal down but again I thought it was just my body being in pain. It was sore the rest of the night. The next morning I woke up and when I went to step down I had a very sharp pain right where the bruise is in the picture. Well we went to the Black Walnut Festival to try and sell the Walnuts the girls collected so they could buy Ice Cream.... Well the buyer wasn't there, I'm not going to lie I was kind of excited because it meant I got to go home faster but I felt really bad for them so we went to the store and got them Ice Cream. They did such a wonderful job!

That’s not even a dent in my yard!

After the football game I had Jason take me to the doctor. They did X-rays and everything looked good, they said I have a Sprain and I have to stay off of it for 5 days and wear a boot. If by the 6th day it isn't better than I have to go back in. So here's to a speedy recovery... I hope!

It's here!!!!!

It's here the day I never thought I would ever EVER do, even when I started my quest I swore up and down I would never want to. But once you start this journey it's something you have to do! What is it? A 5K Run/ Walk. I have been looking for one to do for a month now, and my wonderful town is going to have one for Brandy Brandenburg, the young mother who was killed in the car-train accident. I figure this is a wonderful one to start with. 

Not only do I want to do the 5K but I have EVERY intention on running it! Yes, I said RUNNING! So this Momma has some training to do. So all of my fellow weight loss or running friends, if you have any advice please share. I am soooooo excited and so happy it is going to be going to such a good cause. 100% of the proceeds are going to be going to the Brandenburg family. It will be on October 19th. 

I also just found out on Oct 20th there is a Walk against Suicide that my niece told me about and they want to get a big group together to walk in honor of my sister in-law. So I need to find out more about that. So looks like that weekend I will be busy and very sore come Monday! Here is the link to Brandy's 5K. So if anyone has any advice I would greatly appreciate it!

Oh also, Jason came and got me from work today and informed me that the new battery for the truck of which was in my NEW van exploded! It ate through my floor. Luckily the battery people are going to cover the cost (so they say) and we just have to go get an estimate from the dealership to have it fixed. 

Even though that happened, I find it so hard to be upset... especially when I listen to Half Moon Run, who will be in Columbus in October and I so want to go! So i'll leave you with this... Enjoy!
