Oh my goodness! Talk about obstacles! I, Cara, just returned two days ago, from a beyond whirlwind vacation! It started out wonderfully, until the, what became, second to last day, when my car was totaled. Don't worry, everyone is fine, but it took a HUGE emotional toll.
Since I've been back, I have been dealing with insurance people up the wazoo. While I have WONDERFUL coverage, both medical and auto, sometimes it's still really hard and quite stressful.
So, needless to say, the last week has been beyond KILLER on my diet. I am not proud to admit it, but I ate some foods that normally would not cross the threshhold of my mouth. However, I did my best at writing it down and not fretting TOO much. It was vacation afterall!
So, after I got home, delt with the insurance folk, I thought to myself "Cara, are you ready to see the damage of the past week?" I stepped on the scale, and low and behold, I gained ONE POUND!! That was it! I was SO proud of myself I didn't completely blow everything I had worked SO hard for!!
One last interesting note. As I was at the ER after the accident, the nurses kept asking me what I did for a living. Obviously, I explained, nothing, at the moment. I then went on telling them my story, how much I work out, etc, etc. What the nurse and the doctor even told me, had I not been in the physical condition I am in, I could be in MUCH worse shape than I am now. As in, still in the ER with more internal injuries.
It's a good lesson to everyone! Working out, getting in shape, it's not just for the military. It's for everyday well being! You NEVER know when something is going to happen, and I hope you all really think hard about it! I'm thanking everyone who has helped these last 6 months, because had you all not, who knows if I would still be here typing all of this!
You probably only gained one pound because your metabolism is so fierce now! Go, Cara!
ReplyDeleteThe recruiter was at school again yesterday. You could have done a MUCH better job at convincing kids to sign up.
