Week Six. Update.

It is the end of my sixth week and I am feeling terrible! Not because of my progress but because I crashed and burned in my bathtub yesterday. I was in the shower and reaching down to wash my foot and I slipped! It was not something I could stop from happening and I fell on my hip and then slammed my shoulder into the bathtub ledge. I have a nasty bruise and lump on my right hip/ass cheek and my shoulder is swollen and sore. I tried to iron a shirt this morning and it brought tears to my eyes. I have pains everywhere!

It is actually kind of comical because typically have a couple of terrible falls a year and never really do the damage I should for the type of falls I take (two years ago I partially tore my MCL but that is the worst). I also do strange things in my clumsiness. For instance, two weeks ago, I accidentally shaved off a chunk of my eyebrow while shaving under my arms (I can't even begin to explain the sequence of how it happened). 

On to the important update... I lost five pounds this week! Yay! It was a relief after my slow down from last week. I am feeling encouraged and motivated. I also feel justified in the struggles I have had this week- I kind of feel like they paid off. I am doing great and I am proud of myself!!
