I may have screwed up my ankle. But I won’t be able to find out for sure until we get the insurance fiasco ironed out.
So I’m also thinking that I probably won’t have dropped any weight at this week’s weigh in.
On top of that I’m thinking that I may go and run tomorrow anyway. Because, you know, there may be a chance that there’s nothing wrong at all, right? RIGHT? Right.
How screwed up is that line of thinking? It’s no wonder I’ve got a 35% disability rating. Give me enough time and I suppose I’ll bump that up to 50% or higher.

I don’t do running… or even walking. Not as a form of exercise, anyway. My heels just won’t have it. Not to mention, my left ankle starts popping like crazy. So it’s just the exercise bike for me.
That ankle? (My ankle, I mean.) I broke it one evening shortly after I got to Lejeune. Docs thought it was just a bad sprain, so I ran on it and did a couple of humps. Not good. Found out when I went to the VA that I had broken it.
I understand the thinking, but be careful.
BTW, I’m thinking that I succeeded in regaining my starting point, so sweat not the weigh in…

So I guess we’re both good for a few more weeks of post-fodder, neh?
I hear ya on the ankle thing. This is such an old lady thing to say, but my hip acts up every time the weather changes. Also if I punish it a bit too much, but that goes without saying.

Truthfully?
I haven’t even started.
I feel really freakin’ guilty now. Why can I not get MOTIVATED?!
It’s like I don’t think about it until, OOP! I try to wear something I wore last summer. 
again!

The only thing that motivates me is shame. If I post that I’m trying to lose weight in public and everyone knows about it, then I feel really guilty when I blow it off. This whole weekly check in keeps me at it by being a constant reminder. If my numbers start going up, then everyone will know that I was slacking and I’ll feel really bad. *L*

Plain and simple.. dieting sucks big time.
