maintenance and repair

Okay. I went to the doctor today to have him check my ankle. Although one side is still swollen, I have good range of motion and less pain. That means I will be good to go in about a week so long as I keep the brace on to stabilize the ankle. If you are wondering if I got out of training, the answer is no. I worked out on Wednesday to discover that there are many exercises you can do without the use of your feet. My abs, bottom, and thighs had a thorough workout and I feel it still today.

I continue to maintain my good eating habits. Tonight, I tried salmon. You know, I had it about five years ago because someone who loved fish ordered for me. There are many ways to cook it and I am not the least knowledgeable about how to cook it. I had a choice of blackened and then blackened with cajon. To be safe, I ordered mine regular, Tell me something! Why does it have to come served with the skin on one side. That really grossed me out. If the rest of it was attached, like the eyeballs, I would have had to thrown it back. Seriously, take the bone and skin off for me. Needless to say, I ate it with lemons. It was good and I am willing to try it again.

Now for tomorrow. My husband and I have our trainer consult and weigh in. I have gotten used to this routine, but tomorrow is kind of a big day. I am hesitant to weigh in because I was shooting for my 50 pound mark. If I make it, I will be ecstatic. If not, I have to keep telling myself that I am in a better place than I was in September. No getting down and playing the 'what if" game. So, keep your legs, fingers, toes, and whatever else you can crossed for me. What number will I hit?
