Twas a long week

This past week has been quite something.  I started out with a nasty cold of some sort.  I called it allergies gone wild.  It definitely dragged me down and forced me to the couch many times in the day to rest.  On top of it - 2 days ago (monday) I jumped out of bed, grabbed my housecoat to go down stairs to the kitchen... when I stepped on the top step the bottom of my foot felt like silk and out it went from under me... I reached around to grab the rail to catch my balance but missed... I promptly dropped onto my hip then hit my  lower shoulder/side of my ribs still trying to stop my fall by grasping at anything while sliding.  To no avail... I slid to the bottom of 14 carpeted stairs.   With the wind slightly knocked out of me, my chest and back muscles feeling very pulled and a bruised butt cheek I sat dazed waiting to see if the hurt would get worse or I was okay.  After a couple of minutes I felt good enough to move.  I was a tad sore but got better throughout the day... but... the next day wasn't so good!  I definitely feel that I had a tumble down some stairs.  Do I ever feel like a goof for doing that!  I have never fallen down stairs before. I have tripped going up tho and shin hacked myself  - or I have tripped going down but always caught myself right away with no muss or fuss.  It must be my age LOL.   Hubby said its cause I wasn't feeling well.   Its possible but I still feel pretty stupid about it.
With that said I weighed in today - I lost 2.6 lbs.   I am not going to say hurrah as I am still bouncing between 160 and 165... I will get more excited when I no longer have "60" in my #'s.   Besides I have been sick this week and not eating much will cause a bigger weight loss.
To rid these allergies gone wild I went to my usual reflexology appointment... when I got home I ended up blowing my nose using 6 kleenex's!  I haven't been able to breath this good for quite some time! 
So here's to another week.  I am feeling better and hoping to get back out and moving more since steps this week were at a minimum due to no energy. 
I am doing pretty good with getting across Canada - I am in a step challenge going West to East
I have gone thru HOPE, KAMLOOPS, SALMON ARM, REVELSTOKE, GOLDEN and BANFF.   I am now working my way to CALGARY.  I have about 45,000 more steps to make Calgary.. I try to do 10,000 steps a day, more if possible... then its a long stretch to MEDICINE HAT.
Here's to a better healthier week.
