    Did the kickboxing class today. It was tough. Something you have to do often to get into the rhythm.

    Went for a 15 minute (hard) swim afterward.

    Any advice:

    My left ankle is really starting to get sore... particularly after a long treadmill. It gets bad enough that I limp for the balance of the day.

    Do I just
    1) get off the treadmill for a while
    2) get some kind of massage or physiotherapy
    3) start some kind of stretching exercise
    4) something else...

    Thanks,


    My two cents......

    I would highly recommend stretching exercises and then doing some balance exercises to strengthen the muscles around your ankle. The following link includes a bunch of rehab exercises I had to do for my knee, and they ended up strengthening my ankles more than anything. You may need to take a break from the treadmill for awhile until you get it stronger (don't injure yourself). So......just my thoughts.....I hope it helps some.

    Only one more reflexology video to go! I'm with @katharmonic -my feet (and hands today!) feel great but can't see it translating to the rest of my body!

    I picked up some Brussels sprouts yesterday at Trader Joe's. I figure I can make them for college boys birthday dinner and I know he and his girlfriend like them so it won't be a waste if I start gagging immediately. Definitely plan to roast them with EVOO since that's my preferred method for most vegetables. (Yum, cauliflower!)

    My minutes were super low yesterday. Busy doing errands and I think I wore my workout clothes until 4:30 when I finally gave up hope of getting to the gym.

    @TamiJo1004 -that's a crazy day! I think my most ever was 25,000 when we walked a zillion miles in Paris last Race. You needed those foot massages!

    Have a great day all!

    Add bacon to your Brussels sprouts, bacon makes everything delicious!

    OPERATION "YUCKY FOOD" WAS A SUCCESS! :)
    My vegetarian husband has tried for 20 years to get me to enjoy his "fake meat" hot dogs, hamburgers, sausages, etc. We made a Tofurky at Thanksgiving once, but the dog wouldn't even eat it! :D
    Last night he made me tacos with his fake hamburger meat. I have even tried that before and didn't like it. But this time, he put good seasonings in it and I added onions, pickles, hot sauce, mustard, and cilantro. And I liked it!! :smiley:
    Tara even liked it!
    The best part was that it was low on carbs and high on protein. I will be eating more tonight. :)

    I do agree with you. This week from Monday I have lessen the cardio machine activity. I have started doing more and more of upper body workout, lower body workout. The leg one yesterday it was at 37 mins. I like to build more strength in my arms and my legs.

    So a food I've been tempted to try but have always shied away from is sushi. Somehow the thought of raw fish is just gross to me. Today I bought dragon rolls made with shrimp, rice, avocado, and I guess seaweed. It was really good, especially when I didn't add the wasabi (boy, that'll open up one's sinuses!) to the last few pieces. I also didn't put soy sauce on it. The sodium count is already pretty darned high.

    I will say that I really wanted to try the crusted crab roll with the yummy looking sauce on top, but I looked at the sodium count (1320 mg for 1 serving!). Needless to say, I didn't get that one.

    My apologies to anyone who actually likes beets...I'm sure they're an acquired taste (as is dirt, so I've heard...).

    Have a Great Day Everyone! :smiley:


    @junodog1 Yupper, this is the way to go!

    The best way to eat them is pickled. lol

    I blame (thank?) @Vowder for this... I just ate broccoli and it wasn't bad... of course with all the other junk in there I wasn't really sure what was what but it made for a crunchy salad. Thanks V! :D

    Well crap, it doesn't want to load my photo of my bagged "super food" salad - kale, broccoli leaves, brussel sprouts, carrots and baby spinach.

    I asked college boy what vegetable he wanted for his birthday dinner and he said "anything but broccoli!". The cycle of life continues. My mom ruined peas and asparagus for me, I ruined broccoli for my kids!
