In regards to the pop...I'm happy to report that I have still stayed true to that goal. The withdrawals are gone. Every once and a while I'll get a pretty intense craving, but I have been able to not succumb to the desire!

Confession #5...Fractured Rib??
So just when I get rolling good, I do something stupid and have now possibly fractured a rib. I was playing broomball (similar to hockey, expect you wear shoes on the ice instead of skates and hit a ball around with brooms or things that resemble brooms)
with some of the high school youth on their winter retreat this past weekend. I took a pretty nasty fall right on my left arm and back. It knocked the wind right out of me and I needed a few seconds to get back up (at least it wasn't my head). I knew the fall was hard, but in that moment and for a few hours after I think my adrenaline was pumping high so I didn't really feel too much pain...until now. It hurts to move, lift anything, change positions, put on a coat, take a deep breath, cough, and sneezing is the worst. For a fractured rib to heal you just need to give it time, sometimes a lot of time for it to heal on its own. And this is all happening right in the middle of my training. This is a huge obstacle that I'm not sure how to overcome. I know for a fact I can't lift near what I was lifting last week. However, maybe this does come at somewhat of a good time as I was researching and planning to change up my workout routine. I guess I'll just have to take it slow, one day at a time, and see how things go.
