Verdict is in, I popped a tendon. I'm in a boot for the next 4-6 weeks, followed by PT.
The good news?
No crutches and if I'm comfortable I can use the elliptical (and of course arms/stomach)
Bad news?
Aside from the obvious it's going to be a longer recovery. Squats etc (which I was actually enjoying) won't be happening for a while. Plus without working out I find that I have a habit of falling off the wagon easier.
I'm trying very hard to make good choices. Today I knew that we were going to Chick Fil A to celebrate Emerson's Pre K graduation so I was tempted to just throw the towel in for the day. Instead I decided to stick it out and still enjoy dinner so that was a small win. Of course, I felt HORRIBLE after dinner. Not because of my choices but physically just YUCK.
Monday I'll start back in the gym doing some lifting etc. I cannot let this get me down.
