In about a week's time, Berries turns 8 months. In between, I started exercising, was hospitalised, hence had to stop. Last Sunday, out of the blues, I put on my shoes and went for my usual run. It felt good, it felt like I was picking up from where I left. With autumn holidays just around the corner, I was so excited because the bf had taken some days off, and I had my pal coming over for a week. I was excited because I knew I was going to have my "ME" time. My long over-due ME time! So, on Thursday, I got up feeling bubbly as usual because I was going to go for my run without having to think about the baby.
35 minutes in the run, right in the middle of the woods, I realized that the old path has been diverted. I climb up the new path with squats and even before I had finished contemplating whether to run or walk, my body felt propulsed by some forces. My goodness, I totally lost control of my body, I went down that steep path with fear and panick, I didn't even have time to choose whether to fall or fall, I just dived on a pile of leaves narrowly escaping hitting the stem of a nearby tree. I FELL! I fell terribly and hurt my entire body. I don't think even when growing up I've ever had such a fall.
I was in major pain! I dragged myself up to a sitting position, my right knee felt wobbly, my left shoulder felt disconnected, but I still got up, picked up a stick and started walking out of the woods. I finally got to the roadside, and my mind was made up, I was walking home. Only to get in the wrong neighbourhood. A good samaritan lent me her phone, but the bf didn't pick the call. The only solution was to hitch-hike and this other lovely lady dropped me right off at out doorstep.
As I type this, I'm yet to see the doctor. I am totally anti-ER because they keep one for long hours before being tended to. My right knee is visibly swollen but I'm giving it until Monday.
All I'm hoping for is to get better and take another attempt at running. I can't believe my body is conspiring against my will to lose weight and maintain being fit!
In the meantime, I'm still the same old foodie.
