First a health update: Hubby will hopefully be released tomorrow, he is so pumped full of antibiotics that it is scary... They think the infection started in the bladder, and then he might have gotten bitten by a spider or bug, which caused the secondary leg infection. But no one knows.
Sky, our little one, has swimmers ear, and after treating homeopathically for 5 days he is now on anti-biotic ear drops. Hopefully he is feeling better by tomorrow, right now he screams when he just touches his ear.
Men! I always say that the Y-chromosome makes them the weaker sex!
I did not work out on Saturday at all, but was running up and down all day cleaning, cooking prepping, etc. So I felt I was very active, but had no time for exercise between the party and going to the hospital and everything else. Sunday was better, I got 3 workouts in. And today, Monday, I also got 3 in, its now 10:30 pm and we just got power back after a storm came through this afternoon and knocked out the power. I already slept for almost 2 hours, but woke up when the power came back, so here I am updating the blog instead of doing the 4th workout. But the house is hot, and I will go to sleep again in 1 minute!
Thank you all so much for your comments and thoughts, its great to know that you are thinking about us!
But looking forward now to normalcy again....

Saturday, day...20??
I am loosing track of time... What a crazy few days! My husband had invited 10 of his old class mates to our house for a get-together today, so about 20 people with wives. I took Thursday off to clean the house and get ready, but then our son had an ear infection and stayed home with me. Needless to say, the house didn't get cleaned! So last night we wanted to get it all done, but my husband was feeling really bad and we ended up in the ER. Turns out he has a bladder and leg infection and they wanted to keep him overnight. Luckily I had dropped off our little guy at a friends house for a sleepover before, but I left the ER at around 2:15 am!
This morning I wanted to cancel that reunion party at our house, but most people were on their way and couldnt be reached. So I ended up cleaning the house, getting all the food ready, and then hosting 10 people (Luckily a few didn't make it for various reasons!!). It is now almost 8pm, I have not done any workouts today, but between running around like a mad women, driving to the hospital twice (hubby will have to stay until at least Monday!), and only 3 hours of sleep last night I will forget about the workouts today, and go straight to bed now!
And our son still has the ear-infection... :-(
On the bright side I ate very well, had a handful of roasted nuts (they just were so tasty) and one small bite of a dessert (that was quality assurance, and it was only 1!!!) and did not have any beer or wine, which just right now that I am finally sitting down I really would love to have...
I sure hope all of you are having a much better weekend so far - the final 10 days are here!!

Thursday Day 17
So we got our new assignments today: the new bodyweight workouts, that I so love, and that I can not do right now due to my shoulder... I have always felt the twinge with the dive-bomber, so I will not push it right now. Even though I am getting a little bored with all the squats and lunge variations that need to stand in for the upper body exercices. But I want to heal, to play volleyball, and do the dive bomber, and use my arm without pain!
I was home today, took the day off, but then Sky, my 7year old ended up home with an ear infection as well. So here went my plans for all the cleaning I meant to do! But it was also fun having the time with him. Now my hubby came home from work with 102 fever, shivering in the 100F warm weather! Not fun, we have no clue what is going on with him. I might have to play nurse Betty for a day or two...
Even though I was home that 4th workout was tough! I had to force myself, but got it in. I was hoping Dax would waive the 4th workout by now, but no, he is insisting we keep it. Just on the first couple hours of my 24 hour fast, had a nice carb dinner, and now its water until tomorrow dinner! I am so relieved I don't have to think about food tomorrow, even though I have those nice salmon fish sticks in the fridge.... Time for bed, good night!

Wednesday Day 16 - Sucking wind....
I remember from the January program that about half way through I struggled.... All of a sudden cravings came back, my joints started hurting, I felt stiff and tired. So here I am again, just struggled through Meltdown and feel like an old lady.
I can still not do any upper body exercises due to my shoulder injury, so have been focusing on lower body and core work. But that means my lower body is TIRED!! At least my chiro gave me the okay to do the arm movements in the Power Circuit again, plus I can do the plank again, so that gives me a few more options (even though I did not miss the spidermans in the last few days!).
This shall pass, I know, and I am looking forward to catching 2nd wind again for the next week and a half! It is so hot now in Maryland, close to 100 degrees, and beeing a sweaty mess all the time is not fun. But hey, you've gotta do what you've gotta do!
At least the food front is going well, even though I am still over-eating nuts, but the wave is surprisingly easy this time. Not that I like it, not at all, but its not that bad. And all this due to our genious evil Mr. Dax Moy from http://www.londonpersonaltrainingstudio.com/, I must have a masochistic streak to keep coming back for more, but I just love it!
Over half way there - more recipes to try, more exercises to come, more strengths, fitness, and less pounds around my waist!!!

Tuesday Day 17 (I think??) - quick update
Sorry for not posting, but life sometimes gets in the way. I did my workouts Saturday, but somehow Sunday turned into the day where I did not workout at all, for the very first time in a while... But I am not beating myself up about it, it happened, so what!
We had a big event at work last night, where over 40 local chefs presented their food. Lost of sweet stuff, lots of temptation! I did have 2 pieces of sushi (rice on low carb...) and 2 tiny bites of parma ham filled with a little goat cheese, but other then that I stayed ED and low carb free. No alcohol, nothing sweet... It was great to have Robin there with me and we kept each other on track!
I was too tired though for my last workout at 11pm and decided that sleep was more important then workout!
Have brussel sprouts in the oven right now for my lunch and am getting ready to shower after the morning workout!
My shoulder feels better, I have another chiro app today and hopefully will be back to doing push ups in a few days!

4 pounds down!!!
Okay, this morning I couldnt resist and stepped on the scale, just felt "thin".... and the scale finally, finally, moved in the right direction: 4 lbs down! Maybe I don't hate the wave after all??? :-)

Thursday Day 11
I can't believe we are almost at the halfway point already! You guys would laugh at me right now: I am doing a one armed Power Circuit, doing Meltdown with only lower body and core stuff, and will start the DB Matrix with double the amount of lower body and core as well. My shoulder already feels better today, I have another Chiro appointment tomorrow night, so hopefully that will be all over quickly. So I am doing all the workouts, but not quite as prescribed!
Foodwise it is going very well, I always hated low carb days, but it hasn't been bad this time around. It helps having my coworker and friend Robin doing this with me, between the two of us we always seem to have enough snacks, we surprise each other with different recipes, and we keep each other on track!
Today was an interesting day, wow, tempers flared on the forum today! Dax really hit the nail in the head and a lot of us were weighing in on different things. In the end it just seemed to get out of hand a little and I am hoping that piece will be back now! Go check out http://www.londonpersonaltrainingstudio.com/ for more info on the wonderful programs that Dax Moy has to offer!
That it for tonight, hope everybody is doing well!
