Really not much to say about today. I was thinking of doing an hour of swimming laps, but just couldn’t get into it. I ended up doing a combination of laps, treading water, and some other various exercises in the pool. Although it was certainly better than sitting on the couch the data from the HRM was nothing to write home about. The foot feels a lot better, with only a little pain when I roll the foot onto the worst spot. I have an errand to run tomorrow (with a shoe on instead of just a sock) and I suspect it will be almost perfect. So Monday it’s definitely back to normal.

HRM: 348 cals, Max: 132 (74%), Avg: 103 (58%)

And somehow we ended up with a container of hummus (no, I didn’t buy it) so this afternoon’s snack was a weighed portion of hummus with veggies… and a drink. Oh well, within the calorie levels so I really shouldn’t complain. Dinner was a couple of turkey italian sausages that were better than I expected. They were on sale last week and I grabbed a couple of packages for the freezer. We had them tonight with whole wheat rolls, but I think I’m going to look for another option as it’s odd to say this, but it was too much food. Between the veggies and alcohol, dinner, salad, and my snack, I’m really uncomfortably full. Now honestly, that doesn’t happen all that often.

Well yesterday was a complete write-off, but not for the reasons I originally thought. I was going to swap out my lifting and cardio days until I sliced up the bottom of my left foot. I’m not even 100% sure where outside I did it (sharp tile, pot shard in the mulch, whatever). It was the blood that alerted me to the problem. I’m very typically a barefoot kind of person and it’s rare for any injury. This year I’ve tended to wearing my shoes when outside so I suspect the soles of my feet aren’t as hardened as they usually are. So although it’s cleaned up and bandaged it’s fairly painful to walk on. That pretty much stopped any thoughts of cardio yesterday. I’ll likely try and keep off it today as well, although if the weather holds (was stormy last night but the sun is trying hard this morning) I’ll get into the pool and do some laps. Luckily cuts and scrapes heal fast, and it both looks and feels better this morning, so I’m sure by Monday it will just be a memory.

I kept myself in check with last night’s food as well, although I did send the dips/spreads/flatbreads home with the person who brought them. I enjoyed them greatly, but I knew I’d end up being the person who would end up finishing them. I was also surprised that although I’d planned for two drinks I only ended up having one. The amounts are estimated, but I know I estimated high. I grabbed the info from the containers when putting them out so I knew what to avoid, and how much I could reasonably have.
