Can't believe I'm grounded!!!

I’m Grounded - from the gym

Or so it feels like. Yes, I fell again yesterday. Yes, we thought this time the ankle might be broken. But no – it’s not – it’s only a bad sprain/strain. And yes, I agree Jake (not so great right now) made the right call on saying I should take a week off to heal – but it got me to thinking. I am scared to death that I will return to where I was.

Not only just re-gaining the weight - but everything. I LOVE the way I eat – but what about when I want to just get something to eat on the fly and not spend hours cooking from scratch. And a person can only eat so many salads in their life before they start mooing. Plus there is a part of you that thinks when you've overcome so much, that you've overcome EVERYTHING. I still believe one day I will - but for today - there are momentary challenges.

Do any of you have these fears? Now I don’t work out solely because of the fear factor, I honestly LOVE it. And honestly I know I’ll NEVER go back to where I was …..but still …..

But you know what – occasionally I fall and hurt myself. That’s a fact of my life. But my recovery time is SOO much better now. When you’re in better shape BEFORE the fall, you can’t help but be in better shape AFTER the fall (another benefit to working work – quicker recovery time). And you’ll be hard pressed to find a more motivated person. So I guess I’ll lay off the gym. I mean it’s only a few days, right? Cuz TECHNICALLY Sunday is the beginning of a new week – right? J Ok, he’ll be Jake the Great again. J (But if you see me sneaking into the gym, don’t tell him, ok?)
