Today was a rest day from LIIFT4 which worked out perfectly because I had to take one of our dogs, Kali, to the vet first thing this morning. We had to drive to a vet's office about an hour away because they have an orthopedic specialist on staff. Kali has a torn ligament in her knee which will need surgical repair. I wasn't surprised to hear that, as our vet thought the same thing, but there's always that small hope that perhaps surgery wouldn't be necessary. It's going to be expensive, but not more expensive than what I was expecting, which was good. Recovery will be difficult, as Kali won't be allowed to run or jump for 2-3 months post-surgery. But once she fully heals, she will be feeling much better. Surgery will be in December which will give us some time to prepare.
By the time we got home from the vet, I scarfed down some overnight oats, drank a cup of coffee, checked my emails, and then I had to take off again and commute into work for a lunch meeting. I ordered a salad and cup of tomato soup, but I wasn't that hungry because of my late breakfast, so I didn't eat much. After my work meeting, I stopped by the pharmacy to pick up my colonoscopy prep, which I have in a couple of weeks. (Yay.)
I got home, worked for a couple of hours, with a snack of Greek yogurt and pumpkin seeds in between work tasks.
Since I didn't get in any formal workout today, I did an at-home walking video before dinner to get in some steps and movement.
Dinner was protein pasta with ground beef and marinara sauce with some roasted veggies on the side. After dinner, I still felt hungry so I had a protein bar.
It was one of those days where things were just crazy, I was running around doing lots of things, and I most likely didn't eat enough, or eat the right things, but it's one day and I'll be back to my normal routine tomorrow. And now that I know what the plan is for Kali and what it's going to cost, I'll hopefully feel less anxious.
I read for a bit while David watched basketball and because it was a busy day, I was ready for bed around 8:30.
