Broken Ankle

I broke my ankle falling on ice. Of course this was during my new years resolution of working out. I chipped a bone in the back. I am in a huge walking boot with crutches chasing 4 kids and 2 large dogs all day. Maybe this is my new workout! I can tell you I do feel defeated. I am in pain and no longer can go go go. I am not one to sit. Not just because I have no choice not to with my busy lifestyle but just I am not a sitter. I am only taking pain pill in 4ths since I am with kids and don't what to take full ones. I really want a beer today. Terrible I know but I feel super overwhelmed. They want to do MRI later this week. We live on one income so pretty sure I will cancel it. I hope pain improves though! My oldest is home today for MLK day thank God. She is helping out some with younger ones. I guess I am forced to slow down, clean less and play on the floor more. Weird these actually are things I struggle with. Guess there is a plan for everything. I don't know if I should do the MRI and spend money we don't have if the outcome is the same treatment. That is my hurdle. So blog world if you know about this issue holler at me! Also looking for great ideas for stuff to do that involves sitting lol!!!!

New Year New Goals

My husband and I are starting 2010 with major changes! We are starting a new life long plan of healthy eating and exercising. We are doing this as a team and with the help of a wonderful free site called http://www.sparkpeople.com/ . This site helps track all your food, water, nutrition and much much more. We love using this tool for the meal planing and grocery shopping. It really helps to track your calorie intake. We also now have a weight machine and will be doing power 90. I am personally working on yoga and stationary bike as well. I really want to tone my body and hope to achive that with the weights. Its a lofty goal when you have 4 kids! We have a very hectic schedule. But its what will be best for us and a great example for our children. If you decide to join us on Sparkpeople leave me a comment on here so I can look you up! Today I have done yoga, 15 mins on the bike, and 25 of all sets on our weight machine. Except butterflies wow those hurt! I have only ate 400 total calories today. On my 3rd 8oz glass of water. After having 4 kids my bladder is already shot! So I am now peeing every 4 mins vs every 10 lol!
