outchie





well......
so it turns out that my burn is a second degree one. I spent 3 hours in urgent care on Monday night, and I had to go to the doctor today. It is a deep, pussy, red, swollen mess. Turns out I developed a bacterial infection in the skin. I have to keep it wrapped for at least ten days. I have to wash it, apply burn cream and fresh bandages 2 times a day at least. The bandages are gauze pads,with kerlix wrap some tape, and then a knee high with the toes cut off to hold it all up.
I am on vicoden which im taking 2 of every 3 or 4 hours, and anti inflammatory which i have to take 2 times a day, and an antibiotic that i have to take 4 times a day.
It hurts really bad, its hard to walk. My doctor and mother wont let me go to the gym. So im pretty much literally stuck in bed. Luckily Kevans taking me out for my birthday on saturday so ill finally get out of the house. I cant even go to class this week! And let me tell you I am WAY FREAKING EXCITED! He is taking me to the Red Bull Flugtag event on the water front. Then we will probably do something else awesome!!!

ive been broken out of my shell

my entire life i have been told, that i wasn't capable of doing anything. That if i did something I would just get hurt. But the craziest thing has happened to me. I met this guy, who is pretty much the shit, and he totally broke me out of my shell. I actually got on his motorcycle with him, which was so much fun. Of course, i had to get a boo boo right away haha. Burned my leg really bad on the muffler trying to get situated, but it was worth it was totally worth it. My leg looks pretty narley. haha. Hes even going to take me quadding! Hes gonna get me doing all kind of stuff that I never would have done!
Did I mention this guy is freaking gorgeous?!

fitness fun

Growing up, my mom always told me that if I just started to be active, that I could become addicted to it, and I always that it was pure nonsense. Well that just shows how much parents know and how much I don't know. I am SO addicted to the gym. Last week I went Monday-Thursday and Sunday. Normally Its Monday-Friday, a bike ride or something on Saturday, and back to the gym Sunday night when I get back from my dads house. I feel amazing! Some days, I wake up really sore so I take a hot bath or shower and use the heating pad or ice pack. When I go, I just take my music, a good book, and my phone so I can text during the cardio. Having something to distract your brain a little really makes time fly. I figure, if I keep this up, which I know I will, Ill start to see huge differences by Halloween, and then when swimsuit season rolls around again next year, Ill be totally ready and totally hot! I am so proud of my self that I'm no longer that lazy teenager that sat around in the dark watching T.V. Ive always been over weight by about 15-30 pounds, unless of course I was refusing to eat, which has happened. I have on many occasions starved myself to loose weight. But never again. Now I know I can loose weight the healthy way! And not only can I loose weight but I will actually get in shape, and tone up! This is such a HUGE lifestyle change for me, and I'm never going back to the way I used to be! I've already lost around 12 pounds since I started working out a month ago. In February of this year I was a size 5 or 6 and weighed 130 pounds. But, after a bad break up I binged for weeks and found myself a size 11 and 158 pounds. Today I am 147 and a size 8 or 9. My short term goal is to loose 5 pounds at a time. My long term goal is to weigh around 115-125 and be whatever size fits that weight. I want to be fit, happy and healthy. And although I definitely want to loose this weight, I refuse to be so thin that my spine and shoulder blades protrude out of my skin.

This is the work out i did today, most days are pretty much the same

Cardio: bike- 65 minuets (444 calories burned)
