Ouch. That's just scary.I have a stupid confession for today and then, I will be MIA because of work stuff.
Monday night I went to take my vitamins before bed. The L-Lysine I take is a huge pill and I have a hard time swallowing it every time. Mr. Mo suggested cutting it in half so it wouldn't be nearly as big. HUGE MISTAKE. I cut the pill in half and it got lodged in my throat. So much so, that he had to give me the Heimlich maneuver. I was freaking out because I thought, "Yep, this is how I'm going to die, having choked on a stupid supplement." Rachael was crying because I was heaving in the kitchen while Mr. Mo was doing all he could to Heimlich that pill up. No go. I'm not sure if it eventually dissolved or what, but the dang thing did a number on my throat and now, I think my esophagus is scratched or something because it is really sore.
I was really nervous to take it again last night but I did, and I didn't choke. I'm too cheap to not finish the bottle and go buy different ones.
Why do supplements/vitamins have to be so big?!
Yeah, vitamins can be pretty ridiculous. The Trader Joe's Women's Formula vitamins are listed as three per day and each pill is almost as large as the one a day I usually take.
Silly confession: I don't have a problem with pills because I swallowed a ton of LIte-Bright pieces and Legos as a kid.
A Lite-Brite peg I can see but how the heck did you swallow a Lego and then do it again?!
Wait! How did I miss Legos? I only saw Lite-Bright!! You were a little dare devil!
The only thing I remember swallowing when I was younger was a dime or a penny. My uncle had given me the change & later I had went up to my mom & told her I ate money.
Ouch!
This did remind me of a story though. Has anyone ever gotten anything stuck up their nose? When I was a kid I remember getting a crayon stuck in my nose (in my sinus area) and my mom freaked out. We were finally able to get it out but I must have been a dumb/weird kid. Who sticks crayons up their noses?
I was trying to find the picture of my son at the ER, wrapped up in a blanket like a burrito, while the doctor removed the rubber stopper my son had put up his nose. Of course, I can't find the photo. But, yeah, I'm that mom, taking pictures in the ER.

I'm waiting to hear from my BIL. My sister's been having headaches and funny vision for a couple of weeks. Yesterday she thought she should get it looked at, so she dropped in hoping her optometrist could see her. She still hasn't been home! It's a partially detached retina. They sent her straight to a specialist who said she had to get picked up (no more driving!) and go directly to the hospital. She needs emergency surgery, which should have happened last night, but the surgeon was already operating, so she had to stay in. Hopefully it will happen this morning. When she gets home she has to spend 2 weeks face down on a massage table, and 6 weeks total off work.
If she's lucky, she'll keep the sight in that eye.
I think we're all in shock.0 -

He told me last night that if I wasn't there "cheering him on", he would have given up. That made me feel amazing.
Awww that is sosososo sweet! We plan on making a home gym in the basement in the house, we have a treadmill and some free weigths already. I desperately want a power rack x.x

Yup, I also feel slightly badass being able to squat at the squat rack.0 -

I've found a good trainer, who makes me do reps of 24x20x20x20 and increases the weights on each set. I'm quite proud of what I've achieved so far, but my arms/shoulders definitely need more work!
I was in the gym for 4 hours yesterday (unintentionally). I went to have a run, then chill out before circuit class, but my trainer grabbed me during my run and said we were going to do arms (didn't have a session booked), so went straight from running, to weights, to a circuit class and finished off with aqua aerobics (ok i treat that as a stretch and relax session). But today I am hungry!! I have already eaten my measly lunch. There is torrential rain stopping me heading out for something else (i'm thinking chicken) to eat.
Wow! That's intense!!!! I hope you can get out for a.protein packed lunch0 -

My son stuck a raisin up his nose, on a day when my very pregnant friend was babysitting (we were at a wedding). She tried to get it out, but by then it had swollen up and wouldn't budge. She had both my kids, plus hers, and really wasn't up to putting them all in the car and waiting at emergency, so she called her husband home from work to take my son. The husband checked my son in, explained the situation and sat down expecting a long wait. 3 minutes later he said it was like a scene from ER - carrying my son into a cubicle, people coming from all directions shouting instructions to each other etc. They got the tweezers up my son's nose and seemed disappointed that it was only a raisin - they'd heard that he had a RAZOR stuck up it!

Well, Miss Judgy Pants, there is only 1 squat rack in my gym and it was being used last night. I actually prefer the rack over the machine anyway, because I DO feel like I'm doing more of the work, instead of the machine.

A few key things about tonight:
I dead lifted 95 lbs. on my first time.
I weigh 135 lbs. which is 8 more than two weeks ago.
I HATE overhead presses.
I think everyone does. And if they don't, then they are wrong.
I STRUGGLED getting that bar up 5x5 and IT WAS JUST THE BAR!!! Mr. Mo was rooting me on though saying things like, "Yeah, baby, use them guns" and "Come on, you can do this!" I felt like a super badass when I got done with my 5x5 though.
I 1000% agree with this statement.

Tubbs, that is terrible. I hope they can get her in and get her better soon. I can't even imagine laying face down for 2 weeks and being off work for 6. Being off work for 6 weeks would be lovely, but not if it means I might possibly not be able to see out of 1 eye.
Prayers for a speedy and full recovery. Wow!

Oh my goodness. That is scary. Praying that she gets in for surgery quickly and they can get it corrected. Big big hugs and lots of positive vibes!!0 -

Haha funny story (although I feel bad you guys went through that). 0 -

Thanks all. I've been texting her this morning and no news on a surgery time - although it will almost certainly be today. Time is the essence, it seems. She's more stressed about the fact that she was having a down day yesterday, and didn't shower before she went out! I'm going to see if I can see her in a little bit and will take some nice sprays etc.0

Nice. Bonus points if they're the ones with Marshmallows.
I have ate like crap the past three days & have an ear infection. Dinner tonight included a tortilla with MaraNatha Caramel Almond spread & four cups of Post Ice Cream Pebbles.
Feel better soon! I hate ear infections. Ouch...
Thanks. Luckily I am on amoxicillin, but still can't hear that well out of my right ear.
The worst earache/ear infection I ever had when I was around 16-17 years old. I remember it hurt so bad that I was crying & my mom had to drive me to the ER. I am pretty sure my ear infection last year was the same ear.0 -
OOOOHHHHH, guess what, guys!? While we were watching workout B videos to prepare for last night's session, Mr. Mo started looking for power racks online. He said we're going to get one for our basement gym!!!! I'm SUPER stoked about this!!!!
Nice! You guys will be able to workout at your own pace, whenever you want, & not have to worry about jerks who hog equipment/throw it around/or get in your way while you're lifting.0
