Week 7 Update

This week I have barely stuck to the challenge at all due to a number of unforeseen catastrophies that have thrown my life into chaos. I was starting to be over it all anyway, but was working on regaining my focus and intended on sitting down and watching the Michelle Bridges videos to get myself back into the swing of it over the last weekend... This did not end up happening. Let me tell you why.

Friday morning, I'd packed my breakfast and lunch for the day and headed off to work. The roads were a little wet, but I wasn't worried. I was sitting in a line of traffic waiting for lights to change in Albion, minding my own business, when I heard a god-awful screech of tires from behind me, I looked in the review mirror to see a four-wheel drive with a massive bloody bullbar coming right at me... Then I couldn't see anything except the roof of my car because the force that he hit me caused the review mirror to flick up and items in my centre console to go flying.

After dealing with all of this and calming down the poor P Plater who hit me, I realised that my neck was killing me and a headache had already started to develop. I limped my poor crumpled car to work and was set upon by everyone to get myself to the doctors etc. And so started the constant trips to doctors and hospitals that have become my life for the past week. Not all of these visits have been for me, thank goodness, however I have seen enough hospital/doctor/physio waiting rooms in the last 7 days to last me a life time. I'm working limited hours and am spending every afternoon up at the Royal Brisbane Hospital with my sister as she recovers from an emergency operation that she had yesterday, after a long wait in emergency on Monday night.

Now, in all of this, I have lost a lot of sleep and haven't felt even the slightest bit guilty as I have eaten crap from hospital cafeterias, burgers from our local take-away (fresh cooked, not McDonalds, I haven't stooped that low) and have resorted to snacks from the vending machine.

I did still manage to weigh myself for weigh in wednesday yesterday but really couldn't have given a crap about what it said (put on 400g again to be back to only having lost a kilo). I can't work out as I am still suffering from whiplash and I will still be spending a lot of time at the hospital, so I pretty much don't care.

I'll get back into it next week...if life has returned to normal by then!
