I really did have good intentions of getting back on track yesterday, I even called my BFF to join me for a run at the gym. Lately something always "comes up". Derek called me around 11 o'clock, his Grandma had a stroke and was being transported to the hospital. I hate these sorts of situations, I am horrible with my own feelings and trying to comfort someone close to me is even harder. As of right now she is in somewhat stable condition. The stroke was caused by a clot that started in her heart and traveled to the right side of her brain. She is paralyzed on the left side of her body and cannot speak clearly or see out of her right eye. The doctors have told the family that the next 2 weeks are critical and will determine everything.
The worst part about all of this for us is that she is 6 hours away. I know that Derek wants to be there and I have told him that if he wants to go then we will make it work, but honestly with 3 weeks of school left it would be nearly impossible for me to graduate if I missed anymore school. I feel selfish thinking that way but I've worked really hard to finish this semester.
So, I did not make it to the gym last night, but I did make it out to the Runners Store where I picked up my new running shoes and a pretty pink running shirt! I have my bag packed to get to the gym tonight and Derek even said he would go for a run after dinner if it wasn't raining. We found a great new trail that we can take for a 3-mile or 10-mile run. I cannot wait for summer!!
Onto the scale...well, I've been totally out of control. Chinese on Friday, Burger and Fries on Saturday, Mexican on Sunday and Italian last night. TOM is around the corner and I am bloated. I haven't been working out and I haven't been getting in my water. I am WAY up today...I need to drop 6 pounds to be back at my goal. I am just on the top edge of my comfort zone though so I can't be too hard on myself. I know that once I get back into my groove the weight will drop.
Keep the harassment coming, I can't tell you how important it is to have the support of my blogging buddies.
HUGS!!!
