Progress Report - Operation Bikini 2014

With my newfound injury, I was worried about what it would do to my fitness goals. I had been working out regularly for the past few months, I definitely got into a routine and I was starting to see results so the idea of being sidelined for a while made me a little anxious.
The ATV mishap happened last Thursday night. I was basically in my bed through Sunday, although I would get up throughout the day and force myself to walk around, get blood flowing to prevent clots. The pain was so intense I wanted to cry just rolling over in bed, however since I don't ever cry, I just cussed a lot and made Rob help me. I was prescribed some pretty good pain meds so by Sunday night, I was actually feeling okay enough to hang out on the back deck and have a few friends over for dinner.
My appetite. That is one area that is actually helping me out right now when I'm unable to exercise. My appetite, as in, I don't have one. I'm just not hungry. Not sure if it's the pain or the meds or the trauma my body went through but I've had an aversion to food since the selfie-gone-wrong. That's not saying I'm not eating at all: for one, I have to eat or else the pain meds will make me sick and two, I know I need to nourish my body with the right foods so it can heal and get back to normal. So I'm eating, but it's something I have to force myself to do and when I do, it's all fresh and clean. And the amount of water I've been consuming makes me have to pee every hour which as we have already established is basically hell on Earth (I crawl) but I know I need it in order to heal.
Oh and then there's the little fact that I can't really drink alcohol. Doesn't mix with the meds and I've been so exhausted and tired lately it just hasn't been an issue. I think my body went into major withdrawals asking "um, hello? Where is the vodka??" but I'm actually loving going to sleep early and waking up fresh faced and bushy tailed. Coming from someone who would have a drink or two almost every night, going without for a while might prove to be good for my diet. (Really?!?)
Now we have the real question: when will I be able to exercise again? I know my body, and by how it's reacting and healing and pushing through, I honestly think I will be able to ease back into it in a week. I'm giving myself this week and this weekend to relax, take it easy and do everything I can to be able to at least start walking on the treadmill and using my free weights starting next Monday. After that, I'm hoping to be back to normal in a few weeks and continue on as usual.
I'll definitely be checking in here every week with my progress report however so I promise to keep ya'll in the loop!

All that said, I can still use my It Works Body Wraps! (See this post and this post for all the information you need on what exactly these wraps do! Also, I messed up on the timeline on last week's progress photos but have fixed it below.)

I took my most recent one in my bathing suite so you could see more of my stomach area, which is where I use my wraps. Also, you can see my hematoma starting to rear it's ugly head. The doctor said I can expect that to spread all the way across my thigh and down to my knee. And it. hurts.
You can get your wraps here!

Ps. Pain pill dreams? Wicked bizarre!
