I have been laid up all week with vertigo and let me tell ya it is noooo fun. I haven’t been able to workout since Monday which totally stinks for me because I hardly ever go a day without getting some sort of Crossfit workout in. My sister Mandy and I have been training for a half marathon as well, so I’m worried this is going to possibly put a stop to my training. I’ve always thought how awful it would be to get injured and not be able to train…I never considered having a “mental” injury forcing me to take some time off. The doctor wants me to stay active, but there is no way I would be able to go for a run or throw some weight around right now when I’m lucky to get out of bed without falling over. Too bad though since this is the one and only time in my life I will be on steroids…it would be kinda fun to see if I could hit any PR’s! 🙂

I went to an Ear, Nose, and Throat Specialist who was great and he said he thinks I have a Viral Infection of my Inner Ear. He’s not really sure though and if the vertigo persists for more than two weeks, I need to go in for more tests. I really don’t think it’s anything serious, I just think I was over doing it.

All this being said, I do know I could still be a lot worse off and I have a lot to be thankful for! I think maybe Life is forcing me to slow down for a reason. Maybe I wasn’t supposed to do that half marathon or maybe I’m supposed to be spending a lot of extra time at home with Westin or maybe I needed to be knocked down a notch and fed a slice of humble pie. Well, there’s no doubt I need to be humbled a little more often.

Today has been the first day I’ve been able to really do some stuff around the house which felt great! And I did my nails! Yay! I think that’s what I love most about pretty nails…it doesn’t take much to do our nails but it sure makes us feel really good about ourselves! It’s the simple things in life that really count right?!?

I bought these Dashing Diva Nail Wraps a while ago because they are just so darn cute and decided they would be perfect for Vertigo Nails. I wasn’t sure I would be able to polish my nails very well but turns out it felt REALLY good to focus close up and it wasn’t as difficult as I thought it would be. I have to say these wraps have been the easiest to use so far. I’ve used other Dashing Diva wraps as well as OPI nail wraps and Sally Hansen. This particular design went on the smoothest by far of any of the wraps I have used.

I am still in love with Vinylux and cannot wait to sample all their pretty colors. This pink is called Pink Bikini and it’s from the Creative Nail Design Summer Collection 2013. I also used the CND Vinylux Locket Love gold polish for the trim on the index finger and the design on the ring finger. The square black studs are from Dollar Nail Art.

Have any of you had an injury that has held you back or kept you out of the game of life? How did you deal? Did you find a Silver Lining?

Thank you so much for reading and I hope you are all having a great week!

    those nails are sooo cute! I hope you can start training again soon because I really need a workout partner!

    There are always challenges in life. My shoulder bugs me quite a bit and I have to scale back at Crossfit in order not to injure it further. There’s always someone worse off out there that’s for sure though!

    Thanks for the awesome blog 🙂
