Right now I am sitting on my couch with an ice pack on my foot. I went to a car show with my hubby and FIL tonight and slipped and fell with my leg pinned in back of me. I was wearing my flip flops so only my foot got scraped up and is swollen, thank goodness. My ankle bothered me earlier, but now it's only my big toe.
Today for exercise I did sort of a potpourri of things, if you will. Not traditional exercise, but things that I know that I get a good workout from--mopping and heavy house work, jumping around and dancing with the Monkey Boy. We do this thing, like in the movie Flashdance, where we run in place really fast and go in circles, like ring-around-the-Rosie. We walked a lot today and then went to a small car show tonight, and all day The Monkey Boy wanted to be held the entire time so I got a pretty good workout with that (man! He's getting heavy!). The thing that bummed me out the most about my fall was that when I fell, my wrist or hand hit the button that cleared all of my info stored on my HRM from today. Oh well. I know all of this was over an hour's worth of stuff so I will just call it that, but I don't have the calorie burn info anymore. Oh well, I shouldn't be so dependant on it anyway lol.
Thank you all so much for your support. After hearing what you feel about my question, "Did I blow it yesterday?" and feeling that yesterday was a more than usual phsyical day (it's usually a physical day at work, but I don't usually have to move beds around and do as much heavy transferring), I am going to let go of any negative feelings I have about it, and just keep moving on. Thank you for your opinions and for caring enough to respond! ((Hugs to you all!)).
My computer is about to die any minute, so I have to end now.
Have a good weekend, and see you tomorrow!
Make it count! There are so many ways in which to do so!
I can do this. I am a star.

hope your foot gets better. ur Getting challenged on your "ideals" of exercise, aren't you? I know you know this, but not being able to see your cals burned on your HRM doesn't mean you didn't obtain the same wonderful achievement! Measuring and tracking is essential (for me too!) but not the actual accomplishment. You're SUCH a star!
