I decided its time to force my ankles to heal! I woke up at 5am and headed to yoga. The more I thought about it I realized that it would be extremely painful to bend my feet and ankles in certain ways so I left and went into ope gym. I tried out the recumbent cross trainer because it takes all of the pressure of of my ankles. It felt great and made my quads burn.
Breakfast was Muesli so I had toast and jam. (no picture provided due to everyone knows what toast looks like!)
I decided to do west canyon hike because its flat and I am not subjecting my ankles to anymore inclines for now. I am not even going to push to beat stop sign hike on Saturday. Id love to beat my time but I live having feet even more. The hike was beautiful and scenic. It went well on the way out, but when I turned to come back the distance started to get to me and the pain got worse.
I did circuit training using only the recumbent machine instead of the treadmill and it helped a lot :)
Lunch was Mediterranean pizzas which I have already posted a picture of so I wont bother doing it again.
We had mountain class, a 2nd mountain class (instead of pool) and kickboxing. (I just punched)
Dinner was extremely tasty salmon fillet and wheat orzo..mmm mmm mmmm
I went on the target trip to pick up some shampoo etc.. it was nice to get out.
I have been listening to my massage therapist and alternating ice and heat on my ankles and staying off of them whenever possible. It frustrates me to burn less calories but I'm definitely feeling n improvement so I guess its worth it..
Really missing my boys tonight :( Cant wait to see those of you who arrive this weekend!

Did the ankle listen? Hey are you using the water back packy thing on those hikes? my suitcase is jam packed and I forgot to slip it in....what do I need to take out if you tell me you use it? Hows the home sick feelings going? Thats my main okay only worry on Sunday.
Brandi, Glad to hear you are finding a way to workout and give your achilles a rest. I helped Jerica sort through her stuff to pack tonight. She is starting to really panic about leaving Zayden behind. Please remind her not to overdue on the first day. Believe me, she doesn't handle pain well!! You girls will have a great time together, I know she is really looking forward to meeting you & Michelle. Paulette
Hey Brandi,
Sorry to hear your ankle is bothering you. Glad to hear it is feeling a little better. You are still burning lots of calories!! I like your pictures. The food looks delicious. It sounds to me that you have an excellent attitude!! That is half the battle. Remember why you are there. It is lifestyle changes you are after. You will lose weight even though you may not lose as quickly as you may have wanted...but you are totally right...much better then laying on the couch! Keep smiling and keep working at it. You are doing great!
do you have someone there monitoring it? can you wrap it? Work it sister!!! this is just one more test thrown in your face and I am happy to see you pushing past it!!
ahaha.. turbo is actually kacey
Its inspiring to see you burned over 4,000 calories with sore ankles. You are amazing keep it up! Thanks for sharing!!
I so admire the fact that you are working around your ankle problem. You are taking care of them, while still finding ways to be active. It's impressive that you have been able to burn the number of calories you have with the challenges you are encountering. Keep it up.
