So, I have once again injured myself. This time it was from (accidentally) kicking a shopping cart wheel. I cut my pinkie toe and removed about 1/3 of the nail. It was mostly numb when it happened, but it did start throbbing later. It doesn't hurt for the most part, but I am not looking forward to putting on tennis shoes. But I am going to try it and try to work out today!
So, this brings my current injury count to 3: tailbone (still sore and healing); shin stress (still resting from high-impact activities); and pinkie toe. I almost feel like a "wounded warrior" ... but not so much the warrior part. ;-)

Where to begin?
It seems it has been a while since I blogged on here. You might think that means I have been very unproductive. Or you might think that I have been so productive that I haven't had time to blog about it. But the truth is somewhere in between.
I have been exercising, but not as much as I would like still. I haven't been doing much cardio either. It seems that every time I think my leg is better I re-injure it. It has been going on for about 3 weeks (or more) so I am going to the doctor next Tuesday to get it checked out. After talking to lots of people (including my Bible study group and my trainer), I decided it was better to be safe than sorry. So, I am still doing weights and strength training but would really like to be doing more cardio, too.
As for the food aspect, I have good days and bad days. I am having trouble cutting soda out of my diet again. I can't remember now why I started it up again, but I think it was when I was sick and the soda burn just felt so good in my throat. Then it was a matter of convenience some days (when I was running lots of errands and would eat out). I have been making some progress in better food choices in the last week or so, but the soda craving is still there. I am also craving greasy hamburgers, chili, and french fries. What's up with that?!? I am not pregnant, so that's not it. I have fought that craving so far, but it is still there.
So, I guess I am back in the middle of day-to-day struggles. I am not feeling super-good about how I am doing, but I am not feeling super-beat down either. I would appreciate prayers for my leg and that I can get on a cardio program that will work.
