Knocked down, got back up, knocked down again
The past several months have been weird.
So I focused on getting strength back into my left shoulder. The good news? It is all healed up. I have full range of motion. When I went to visit family a couple of months ago, I was able to carry my luggage on my left side. Very good news there.
I was busy before that, getting things done as maid of honor for my best friend’s wedding. The wedding was a blast and everything worked out great. I’m very happy for her, and I was glad that I had to take in a bit on my dress. 
The job hunt has been futile, unfortunately. However, I did get The Job I was hoping on, and so I will be going to Japan at the end of July.
Being without a car has made it near to impossible to do any real weight training, so I’ve really fallen off the wagon, so far as that goes. But I renewed the gym membership this past Thursday! ….Except on Friday, I overstepped a step on the stairs and busted my right ankle. …So no borrowing the car to even go walking, much less working out at the gym. Once I can get around on my crutches (upper body workout!) well enough, I’ll have to beg for a ride to the gym to get everything but the injured part worked out.
We’ve talked about using the swimming pool to recoup, but I’ll have to be very careful, given how slippery those poolside floors are (and how clumsy I am known to be…).
The good thing is that the ankle isn’t broken. So in about 6-8 weeks, I’ll be alright. I was just really hoping to get stronger and slim up a bit before heading out on a 12 hour flight to Japan.
Time to get my diet back to something sensible, as well. I’ve been bad. No excuses, now.
