The will to look fab

Well life's been a little grand - that is of course until Combat on Monday night when my calf went "ping" and I couldn't stand up any more! Nothing like a dramatic exit in front of lots of people...
I put ice on it immediately and have spent the last two days resting it - I can now bear weight and am concentrating on trying to get the heel back on the ground. Of course its these few days that my husband is away....
It has been somewhat frustrating exercise wise as I'd had a fairly lax couple of weeks both on the exercise and the nutrition week - and was making a concerted effort to get back on track when this happened - and being laid up and miserable is not a good recipe for great nutrition either. Nevertheless I have persevered in cleaning up my diet again. I'm going to a wedding in the Blue Mountains in three weeks and have bought a lovely slim fitting dress that I want to look fabulous in - so I need to focus on reducing any temporary bloating and being in the best shape I can.

On another note - I've been looking at Katie and LizN's new team..... and I've looked at their inspirational photos for today. They do look good - but hell - I can match that... (LOL - I've been drinking too Katie) I might do it on the quiet and see how I go (its very quiet when you publicly announce it on the internet isn't it? - well not many people actually read my blog - so I might be quite safe) Anyway - lets see who ends up the biggest....
And I may be injured - but there is always something you can do exercise wise....I've been doing bench pressing, incline abs work, seated quads work, pull ups and even one legged deadlifts.

Cardio is a real challenge at the moment - I was able to use the elliptical when I did my hamstring - but I tried this tonight and its definitely a no-go at the moment -the only thing I think I could do would be rowing (and not push with my left left calf) but I don't have a rower at home Could this be an opportunity to convince my hubby to lift the 12month ban on buying anymore fitness equipment??? - after all - I have served 7 months of my sentence.... I think I might be pushing it - but I can always ask. I spied in the sports store a few months ago a recumbent bike that converts to a rower - I don't have either of these - any one know what they are like?
