Good morning all! It's back to the grind Tuesday. In still on a liquid and pudding consistency diet per my GI and it's killing me...what I wouldn't give to actually chew something! Hopefully when I see her Friday she releases me back to a normal diet. Tomorrow is MRI at 6:45 am for my spine, so hopefully by the end if the week I will have a better picture of my body and health. I missed my weigh-in/measurements with Elle last week cause I wasn't allowed to train but today I'm going anyway, I'll just drink protein drinks and eat Greek yogurt today.

I have to call my dentist to see if they can squeeze me in today, I chipped my front tooth. I fell Sunday evening, have a huge bruise in the hip/thigh scrapes on my left foot, ankle and knee, thought I sprained the foot but didn't. I had set up a play yard in the house for my grandson and was picking up his toys so my and dad could take him home when I went to step over the top the right foot came down I lifted the left and then my right foot starting sliding forward throwing me off balance. My left foot came down on top of one of the panels, got stuck, all I could think was "downward dog, downward dog" and tried to brace myself. I fell just missing the corner of cast iron wood stove because the whole apparatus moved about 3ft with me as I slid across the floor and BOOM!

Anyway, three months ago I'm sure I would have been seriously hurt. Because of the strength I've built up over the last few months I was able to help soften the blow and take the fall without causing serious injury to my body. I am very grateful that my grandson wasn't in the play yard, I wasn't hurt and for how far I've come.

I weighed in today 196 lbs and 6 oz...that's so amazing to me! I am so grateful to under 200 lbs and although I'm having some health issues now, I am very aware that they could have been very serious had I continued the way I was living. I can actually say in comparison, I am much healthier now and appreciate every day in a way I didn't before.

It's been a while since I've given a good quote so...

Off to work I go!
