I posted this weeks ago and thought it would be an awesome workout to try. Unfortunately, at that point I had a cast on my foot and a very fresh incision. Now 6 weeks later, I decided to give it a try — minus the 10 minute run. I replace the 10 minute run a brief 10 minute Yoga session — much safer on the feet!
Overall, I loved this workout. It is varied, unique and definitely provides a challenge. I’d do it again!
Although, ice may be my best friend for the rest of the day.

Five weeks ago today at precisely this time — well maybe not precisely this time I probably didn’t even know what time it was courtesy of my “happy medicine.” — I was laughing, having a good ole time (considering I was in an OR I was, seriously!) and the next thing I knew I woke up with a very large bandage on my foot. Five weeks later, I’m feeling fabulous! (well, not fabulous enough to do anything crazy, but I can wear regular shoes with ease and have even purchased a pair of heel — that I’m saving for when I am completely pain free). Now, that’s progress (in my book anyways).
You can hardly even see the incision!
don't mind my super dry skin. I apply lotion like crazy and nothing helps!
Today’s workout:
I gave this medicine ball workout from Women’s Health a try and am feeling pretty good so far:
A more exciting sidenote: I got an invite from Pinterest!
Another quick update: I was finally able to score some awesome deals at LOFT.com

Its finally Friday and can I just say that I love Friday’s. This week has been an awesome week!
Pretty exciting week and it’s Friday. Friday’s are the best. I normally end up working for a few hours in the morning (which is awesome). Since the holidays are quickly approaching, I’ll probably head out with my mom this afternoon to do some shopping. Although I got a lot of shopping done online when I has random bouts of insomnia thanks to my post-surgery meds. I also really need to find an ugly Christmas sweater for a party I am hosting in a few weeks (first party ever as a home owner). I’ve tried Goodwill but I just can’t get past the awful smell when you walk in the door!
I’m hoping for a work-free weekend. Here are some potential weekend activities:

I’m at the doctor’s office again. Blogging from a waiting room may be one of the weirdest places to blog from. Everyone in the waiting room is glued to the TV watching whatever soap opera is currently on! I feel like I am making too much noise by typing. I’ve also had a lady ask me when I was graduating High School…I always thought I looked young; but high school seems a bit excessive. Then again, when I had my surgery I had multiple nurses try to yell at my for signing consent forms because they thought I was 16 yrs old. Meanwhile, I probably recited by DOB at least a dozen times that day…I was born in 1985, not 1995!!!!
Do you look young for your age? How old do people normally think you are?
Anyways back to waiting! I cannot wait to see what my foot looks like under these bandages this time. Hopefully better than last time! It’s like unwrapping a very odd present on Christmas morning. I’ll be very excited if I walk out of this office wearing two matching shoes
They are calling my name!
Here’s a photo a snapped really quickly…I always have a fear of someone coming in a room when I am taking an odd picture. If I ever get busted, I plan on saying I’m taking a picture for my very curious sister (who is an RN). I think that should get me out of an awkward situation. What do you think?
And the good news is… I walked out of the office wearing my own shoes…no more big, bulky boot!
And then I was pleasantly surprised to come home and find out that I have been hired by a local community college to be an instructor in the community education department!
Have your ever been busted taking an awkward picture for the sake of blogging?
