The Final Week for SuperMom 2

Monday/Tuesday
Well, it's a sprain not a break.  It's great news because it will be a much shorter healing time. However,  it is not making it hurt any less. 
So unintentionally,  this had made it a challenge.  I'm not drinking as much water as I should.  And my food is crap. Water is not usually a problem when I am active.  I'm just naturally more thirsty.  Because I am doing nothing and telling to the bathroom is a challenge,  I haven't been drinking as much water.  Food wise,  I'm not eating as much because I'm not hungry,  but what I have eaten has been convenience.  Simmering quick and easy.  I needed to get groceries.  I usually prep my fruits and veggies and have a mealn plan.  It makes good choices so much easier instead of standing in the kitchen hungry trying to decide what to make.  The last couple of days haven't been great.  Looking forward to taking back some control.

Wednesday
It's only been a couple days since I sprained my ankle, but it is feeling much better! I'm able to move around more.  Today is the day to get back on track.  Hallie is so good at rolling with the punches! First my heels,  now this.  She created a workout so I wouldn't have to put weight on my foot/ankle. It felt so good.  I drank my water and also got most of my protein in!
I track my food,  for the most part.  I'm
not 100%, but I am honest.  Here's what my day looked like :

Breakfast
1/2cottage cheese 13g protein
1c grapes

snack
24 almonds (I do count them) 6g protein

Lunch
1/2 turkey sandwich with cheese,  lettuce,  tomato and mustard  8g protein (an educated guesstimate)

Snack mid afternoon
turkey jerky 11g protein

snack 5ish
turkey pepperoni 9g protein
Mini peppers 1g protein

dinner
chicken breast 30g protein
salad with dressing 3g protein.

I'm working on goals and coming up with a plan to stay on track.  I'll share those with you in the next couple of days.


Thursday
I tried going for a walk. It didn't feel too bad, but afterwards it was really swollen. I have gotten my eating back under control. 
My plan is to strength train Mon/Wed/Fri and add 20 to 30 min of cardio those days. (Bike, row, elliptical)  Tues/Thurs/Sat (run)
My first goal is to be able to do push ups on my toes.  I'll focus on running goals (5k in 30min)once I can actually start to do it again.

Friday
4 weeks flew by! It feels good to be back on track.  I've been great with my workouts. I have room to improve my eating.  Now that working out has become part of my routine,  it's time to really focus on my food.  I've been tracking my protein.  I'm going to continue about 100g a day. I'm also going to be a bit more strict about treats, including cocktails.  I'll still have them,  just not as frequently.
It has been great to have extra accountability.  Thank you Hallie for that and coming up with some great workouts!
