Okay so it has officially been forever since I've written here, and that's mostly because I've been so busy with school and a sprained ankle that even though I've been working out, I haven't been eating well so I've gained weight. I've been self conscious about uploading my weight, since I wasn't happy with myself and the fact that I've eaten nothing but crap.
Over the last 4 weeks, I did workout almost every day, and I would push myself to the limit on stationary bicycles and upper body strength workouts. I even did some abs. But because I ate junk, I didn't lose any weight. What's worse, I gained inches. I don't feel good, both health wise and emotionally.
I was starting to get really bored with the constant bicycling, and my ankle was feeling better, so I ran for the first time in 4 weeks yesterday! I took it real slow, never exceeding 5 mph, and running in 100 m spurts with 50 m walking in between each spurt. I did this six times, since that was what was recommended for my first time running. It felt GREAT to run. I never EVER thought I'd miss running like this. I hate running, but it felt really good to run. After running, I made sure I stretched, and since my ankle was a wee bit tender (really not that bad, but it did feel a little sore), I used a heating pack and took some ibuprofen. Today, my ankle is a little sore, but it doesn't hurt nearly as bad as when I sprained it. I'm pretty sure it just hurts because I haven't hardly used it for 4 weeks and I just worked it. Nevertheless, I'm going to probably do some yoga today so that I don't overdo it right off the bat. Besides, apparently, practicing balance is the surest way to prevent further sprains!
Thanks to everyone who read this far, and keep up the good work!
