It's been awhile since I have blogged. We went on vacation to a lake in Northern MN July 19th for a week. That was fun, we caught fish (mostly jumbo perch) and the kids swam and tubed and had a ball. It was pretty relaxing. We even took the kids to the start of the Mississippi River and they walked across. That's pretty cool. I remember being there when we were kids. How many people can say they waded across the Mighty Mississippi? Well, if you live in MN a lot I suppose...

Then on the 30th I had surgery on my wrist which was a bigger deal than I thought it would be. Today is the first day that I actually feel good. I get tired really easy and I'm like "it was only my wrist?" Weird. I am really sick of typing one handed and doing every thing else one handed as I'm not to use it for two weeks! Yikes!

This means of course that I have not done any regular exercises and my diet has sucked for the past three weeks. I was scared to get on the scale! I gained four pounds. BUT I am okay with that knowing that I didn't really have a choice on what I could do the past two weeks. I wish I could have at least maintained, but I'll just have to watch calories closer. With the narcotics I've been on it's really hard not to give in to the munchies and half the time I'm not the one making the meals and I've been just too out of it to care. But, now I feel better and more in control as the pain and swelling have greatly decreased. Back on track! I can't wait to go to the dr. next week and get the bandages removed so I can see if I can start at least walking again. I can't get it wet or anything which means if I sweat (which I do when I do ANY kind of exercise) I have to go in and have the bandages changed. Hmm... don't need that. What a long couple of weeks it's been!
