Have you ever done the splits involuntarily? Well, luckily neither have I. Until Thursday night that is.Holy Grand Toreno.
I think I pulled my groin. :(
Thursday night was just another regular mommy basketball night. Lots of sweating, a little bit of aggression, and several injuries. It was a blast. At one point I went up for a rebound the same time another mommy from the other team did. Fire works emitted in every direction. It was beautiful.
Not really. It was a mess to tell you the truth. I landed with my right leg fully extended frontwards and my left leg behind me. My right shoe was slick and I lost my footing. I can honestly tell you how a rubber band feels after you shoot it across the room.
Not so good.
My right leg extended so fast that I actually felt the tendon in my groin snap back jerking my entire leg.
OWIE!!!!
Little rubber band men... I vow never to shoot you at unsuspecting victims again. There should be laws against anything snapping back so violently. Actually, I'm sure there are. Probably why several days later I'm still limping like a gimp.
On a brighter note however, the cardio was amazing! Interval training (which has been put on hold for now) and playing basketball has done wonders for my own self image. When I look in the mirror I can actually visualize and perhaps even see a slight change in my torso.
Perhaps I'm starting to sculpt my body.
Perhaps I'm on my way!! :)
Perhaps we should all party!
Love Nichole
ps. My friend Rachel is typing up a no sweets for two weeks contract for me. I've been having a hard time controlling my sugar intake for awhile. I'll fill you in on that another time.

OWWW!!! It sounds so painful! And that picture of that woman in yellow...that is priceless. LOL!! Good luck with the no sweets...Casey and I have almost completed our first week...3 more to go! It's really not even hard anymore!! So I hope that will encourage you. :) Love you!!
Ouch! That sounds serious. I haven't attempted a splits in a VERY long time, I can't imagine what it would be like to do them accidentally like that.
No sugar is a little hard, but you can do it! My diet right now is one that doesn't allow me to have sugar, so there's three more weeks of this to go! Not gonna lie, I really want a cookie, but having done this diet before, I know the benefits will be awesome. (And at least I'll be done before Valentine's Day and my birthday! :)
Ouch! Hope you heal up quick! I've decided I need to do the no sugar thing for a while as well. Not forever. Just long enough to get it back in perspective. The holidays with all their easy access to sweets just did me in and I'm having a hard time saying no, too. You can do it, though! It does go easier after the first couple of days!
Holy Cow Gagga! You need help up!!!
Lololololo cute.
