Well World,
I have been a little stressed over the fact that my ankle is injured. Yes, I still have confidence in myself, Yes, I still believe that I will reach my goal of becoming healthy, but I must say, I have been and continue to be a little down about my ankle. This morning, I searched my phone contact list and text messaged a former colleague who happens to be a license physical therapist. I informed her of my injury and gave her a little history of what I had been doing. OF COURSE, she said exactly what I didn't want her to say...get some rest don't put any stress on my ankle. I was sooooo not happy to hear that news again. But I asked her because she is a professional and she knows what she is talking about. So I am going to listen. I was under the impressions that I could still jog lightly or do the elliptical machine, treadmill or the stationary bike, but after our conversation...None of these things were recommended...so I was really sad.......tears.....about not doing any cardio at all. So, I guess I will focus on the ankle exercises that she recommended and strength training for the next seven days. This also means that I am going to really have to watch my calorie intake since no cardio will be taking place this week.
