Friday was a disasterous day really. We left home @ 7:15, plenty of time for me to make my 8:20am physio appointment. However, I walked in the gym door for my appointment at 9:10am ... it took us nearly two hours to get into town because of the slip at Horokiwi!
So I missed my appointment, however, I took full advantage of being back at my beloved gym and did some weights. I did a 20 minute warm up on the exercycle - it was good for my archillies, it didnt over use it - felt good. Then I did some deadlifts, lat pull downs, lat row pulls, dumb bell raises, eagle press - all upper body resistence. I also did some ab work with the swiss ball followed by some good stretching. By the time I got to the showers, I had that jelly thing going on in my arms and chest and it was bloody hard work holding the hairdryer, let alone put my make up on!
Went up to work for an hour before heading off to my dentist appointment. My dentist has the most dreamiest dark brown eyes ... yummo ... well there wasnt much else to look at while I was on my back with my mouth filled with swabs, dentist bits and that attractive saliva suckerer thing. He was very gentle and it didnt hurt abit. The only thing that did hurt was my wallet, however it wasnt as bad as what I thought it was going to be LOL In saying that, I have to make a decision within the next 6 months - either to get the tooth crowned ($1100 + $500 for a peridondist to remove some gum) or leave it and when the other side of the tooth eventually breaks off (it may happen 6 months it may happen 6 years) and have it extracted completely. I mean $1600 for one tooth???????? it's about 2 hours worth of work for god sake. Thats just ridiculous. Hmmmmmmmm.
Friday night I had a hell of a headache, it was a pretty big day really LOL Didnt end up going to the club for a drink, I made up for that last night instead.
Saturday I threw myself completely into my housework and cleaning up around here. I'm missing my walking so bad. I miss sucking in that fresh air and cluttering up my mind with lots of things to think and as I walk along bits and pieces empty out again as I solve lots of things for myself. I made a new appointment with physio again on Tuesday.
My foot/leg feels really good, its just clicking a little bit when i move my foot up and down. Definately no creaking or pain when I walk. I know I still need to take it easy, but definately having the week out just icing and resting it has done wonders.
Just blobbed out for the afternoon and then went up the club for a friends son's 21st birthday party last night. Watched the rugby first of all and I enjoyed a few reds along the way. Finished the evening drinking Jim Beam and singing and dancing ... oops. Got home just after 2:30am with a few friends in tow - I drank water, they polished off half a bottle of port. Got to bed about 3:30am and got up around 9:30am - starving with no hang over and foot feels really good!
Thats my social functions over for now. After being at home with Calais recovering for 2 months, suddenly we had invitations coming out our ears and now things will settle down again! YAY. No more early mornings and too much booze LOL. I have to say though, since I've lost most of my weight, I absolutely love going out and having a great time with friends. I think its because I dont feel so self conscious of looking like a fat slob. I know I went through a really bad phase of where I didnt even go out, Craig ended up going to parties or the pub on his own. How pathetic was that? I love getting dressed up now, having a couple of drinks, chatting to people I havent seen for a while, enjoying a meal, dancing up a storm and smiling and laughing lots. I love it, isnt that what life should be about?
So today its just chilling out, feet up, watching SuperNova we taped from last night. Cant wait to see the south african chick sing again, shes just super scarey in a fantastic way. Early dinner tonight and back to the gym tomorrow - yippeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I feel much the same as you now about going out nowdays. I never used to look forward to social events - now loving it - great way to be:)
I so understand where you come from about not wanting to go out...many a time I would sit home becasue I was TOO FAT to go to an event...now it is hard to keep me home. No with a wardrobe bulging full of new clothes and slimmer body all that holds me back is the lack of invites hehehe
Oh bugger, we also flagged the club on Friday and went up Saturday night (after a dinner @ Petone) and I had to ask one of the bartenders where all the young ones had come from (your friend's 21st party....lol). We felt quite old but loved the music they had playing, I did look for you but you must have been on the dance floor (yay you!). Left about 11pm I think.
Glad to hear your ankle is looking better and you got a work out at the gym.
