Last night I joined the Zumba class they offer in the pool at the gym and let me just say it is a lot harder than the regular one. The instructor was really nice I explained about my ankle and she said we can modify the moves so don’t worry (as long as you are moving that is the most important part). We started off slow and then worked our way up through the moves (a lot of them are just like the
Good morning everyone hope all is well your way! This week has started off ok I made it back to the gym this week and it has already been a slow process for me. Swimming is ok not much to it and I get all I need out of it so that is good last night I went to Strive and it was going well until my ankle decided enough was enough so I took it easy the rest of the night. It is kind of frustrating but
This week starts my re dedication to the gym. I am actually looking forward to trying something new. Monday is swimming then the rest of the week will be finding some classes I can take in the pool – I did find a Zumba class so hopefully I will be able to do that one (minus the bouncing) and also a class called finning? Not sure what that is about but I will let you guys know. My ankle has been
The last few days have been working on my PT program and getting my ankle back on track. As of today the pain is about 80% (since it has been about 100% that is pretty good). Between my exercises and the patch I think I have come across what might work for me. Last night I bumped into one of the Managers of the gym I go to after we said hello he proceeded to ask me where I have been – now most of
Yesterday afternoon was my PT appointment and I went in with a lot of hope. I learned that my injury will take a while to heal and I probably will not be able to walk the half marathon in March. I am extremely upset about that but in the end my health is what matters.The PT therapist checked out my ankle she had me do a lot of different exercises, measured my feet etc. She did tell me that I can
Today I headed to the Doctor’s office with not much hope for losing any weight over the last 2 weeks (eating habits, cold etc) but to my surprise I am back down to the 273 lbs I was a couple of weeks ago…………thank goodness without really trying I lost 5 lbs. I feel a little better but after this week I am going to get right back up and get back on my goal. Happy Day for me!
Since Sunday night I have been fighting a cold…I don’t know about you guys but I hate that! Today I am starting to feel a little better and hopefully 100% by this weekend. Since being sick I have not been to the gym or walked since Sunday. But today I do have new hope I start my PT and I am hoping to get some more relief for ankle starting today. The patches seem to help some but I still
I started off my weekend really well I was able to walk 3 miles at the gym without that much pain and then was hoping on Sunday to be able to finally accomplish the 10 miles I so desperately want too.The weather here has been really cold and on Sunday it was only in the 30’s for the high with that and my ankle acting up that morning it was not going to be a good day. I started off ok but by mile
After I wrote my post about my funk I headed over to Lynn at “Lynn’s Weigh – The Journey Continues”,http://lynnsweigh.blogspot.com/ and she has a wonderful post about “Think Happy Thoughts!” (as many of you know she is the reason I started on this journey she is my inspiration) so please stop by and see why I love Lynn!.
The last few days I have been in such a funk (as I have stated before I can get really depressed sometimes about my training) so I am working on positive thinking today! My ankle has really been a pain in my *ss for the last few weeks and I have let it affect me (along with some other personal problems) and I am trying to keep the positive vibe going. Some people don’t get why people like me are
