It's been a 4 weeks since my last post and the reason why I haven't posted an update is simple, I haven't lost a single pound. I had originally accumulated a number of injuries, some from working out, but mostly due to the fact that my running shoes were 5 years old and no longer suited to support me. I healed up, and as of last week, really felt like I was getting my momentum back and hoped that my weigh in on Sunday would result in actual progress. But again, I weighed in and am still at 308 pounds. I'm at the point where I want to throw my scale out of the window.
Words can't express how frustrated I am at the moment, and I am doubly frustrated because after a pretty intense game of softball yesterday, I am now injured again. I now have a re-pulled hamstring (that I injured when this plateau began) , and have either sprained, or broken my right wrist after diving for a ball. I'll get x-rays tomorrow if it doesn't get any better.
So what to do? I realize that I need to change things up somehow, and a friend of mine has quite generously offered to sign us up for a local boxing gym so that he can be there to train with me and show support.
But for now, what should I do with a bum leg on one side, and a gimpy arm on the other? I'm afraid to lay off to heal as its what caused the month long plateau I'm currently in. But for the life of me, I can't figure out how I should be training.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I promise though that this week, I am not going to be at 308, even if it kills me.

Hey Bubba! I've had problems with my leg and arm the past couple of years since the accident and you now, as much as I hate it...there is always swimming :-P I use floats and stuff...sometimes without them, but then I swim a circle. Lol! If not anything else, it's good for a laugh (for everyone else in the pool)! Marie xx
