Day 83 - 256.5: Playing Hurt

Today's fat girl reality check: falling hurts like hell. Couple that with being sick already, and it's absolutely crippling.

As one might expect, I have managed in the first six weeks to get my first nasty infection from my students. I felt like absolute death this morning, but I decided this afternoon (after a badass cortisone shot) I felt enough back in the game to try and work out. So, no matter how much I love my Bollywood, it was an absolute beat-down. I stagger into the bathroom and get myself cleaned up, then crawl out to dry off. I take three steps into the bedroom to grab something, and when I walk back into the bathroom - bam - I slip on the wet floor onto the ground, right on my left knee with 256.5 pounds of momentum behind it. Plus, even though I couldn't ever find it, I know I landed on something sharp. So, not only does it feel like I broke my kneecap, it also feels like someone stabbed me.

So here I am: my throat is killing me, I can't breathe, and my knee feels like it's about to explode. Am I sorry I went through all of that ridiculousness to work out? Absolutely not. Here's hoping everything has recovered enough by tomorrow for another go.

Breakfast - Atkins Peanut Caramel Cluster Bar - this thing tasted EXACTLY LIKE a PayDay bar: I recommend it highly.
Lunch - a splurge (NOT a cheat!): Italian sausage with Classico Poblano Alfredo sauce over fresh spinach - very yummy, and a nice change of pace.
Dinner - Atkins Caramel Chocolate Peanut Nougat Bar - this one I do not recommend, especially if you struggle with that "faux chocolate" business like I do.
