I sprained my ankle just as soon as I started this journey.

I want to lose weight and I know it’s not gonna be very much now, because I sprained my ankle. What sucks is I was walking with my cane for a long time and got stronger so I thought. Then I decided I would just go ahead and try to walk without my cane, honestly, I wasn’t looking where I was going when I sprained my ankle going from a sidewalk crossing a driveway walking in the neighborhood. A woman’s car was partially blocking the driveway. I’m clumsy anyway and wasn’t paying attention when down I went. My whole ankle turned down to the ground on the outside. It hurts so bad. And I also am in a wedding at the end of June. I do not want to be using a cane in my beautiful dress that I’ll be wearing. And I don’t want to gain weight because I can’t walk like I had been doing. I was pretty good with my cane. It was dumb of me to just decide to go ahead and stop using it and walk. I was doing pretty good for a couple days walking without it. Lesson learned. I need to get a strong will to be more determined concerning better health. I will happily take suggestions if anybody can help me out. I definitely need encouragement.

    Ouch' hope it heals quickly...

    Chair exercises there are a wide variety and intensity available. Try a search for chair yoga, seated aerobics, wheelchair exercise. Some are way funner...

    Be meticulous with your food logging

    Weigh everything you put in your mouth. In grams.

    Start walking again as soon as you are able
