OK... So I Spoke Too Soon!

Today started off as a really great day. I got up at 5am and did some cardio on the treadmill.. AT 6 o'clock I went to Total Body Conditioning. If you want to make your butt cheeks fall off, that's the way to do it. I think one of mine mine is still in the aerobics room somewhere! I was so happy tody I was almost euphoric, I felt great, the sun was shining...

After the 6am class we had breakfast. Another egg thingy on an English muffin with not real bacon and soy cheese. It actually tasted amazing!

I went on the mini stop sign hike. I think its about 6 miles. I chose it to get a dcent workout, but still rest my legs somewhat. Unfortunately when I woke up this morning I felt a bit of discomfort in my Achilles Tendon. I was hoping it would go away but throughout the hike it got progressively worse. It was more of a discomfort at that point.







After the hike I went to pool class instead of gym class to take the pressure off my foot It seemed to help.

Lunch was really yummy. It was a bowl of broccoli potato soup and a Rainbow Sandwich which is a sandwich thin filled with roasted veggies, soy cheese and pesto. Very yummy!




After lunch we had Treading class. You get on a cardio machine and go full blown for 5 minutes, recover for 5 minutes, go for 4 minutes recover for four minutes and so on. It looked like a great class however my tendon wasn't cooperating so i just picked a moderate pace and went with it..I still burned a lot of calories today though. After treading there was another pool class, then Ball works. After the second pool class my tendon started to feel crackly and crunchy. I'm so freaking frustrated, I don't know what to do! I finally felt better leg pain wise and now I have this stupid injury and its affecting my workouts! I am so terrified that its going to be something that wont heal for a long time and will ruin my trip here. I couldn't imagine leaving. I have been doing so well and seeing so many results. It actually upsets me to tears because I am terrified that I would have to go home or something. For now I'm just icing it and staying off of it. I am also going to have an Epsom salt bath to see if that helps.

Dinner was alright. It was a potato salad and a chicken breast. The potato salad was made from sweet potatoes and purple potatoes which was kind of weird. Dessert was apple cobbler..mmmm I am going to Target tonight with Lynette. She is hilarious and looks like Katie Perry. Her sense of humour is awesome.




Cross your fingers for me that my ankle gets better. I will be devastated if it doesn't :(

Today I burned only about 4640 calories, its a bit lower than what it actually is because it turns itself off in the pool sometimes. Its lower than my other days which is disappointing, but I have to stay positive and it is a much bigger number than I ever would have done at home.

Our caloric intake was 1146 which makes a difference of 3494. Still pretty good!
