Where is everyone finding then"super food"
Salad?? That would be so much easier to try than having to cook the BS. Only plus to cooking the BS is there will be bacon in it!2 -
Got the kickboxing done. Had to break it up into 2 (Jessica Smith video) sessions.
If I feel energetic tomorrow I might try some of the dances. But I'm planning on hitting the pavement since it will hopefully get to 50 tomorrow. Living in the lakeshore it may not get there, but hoping like crazy it will!! Maybe I'll even walk to the store to get the BS.3 -
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.

I'm on it.
Sounds stupid... but since I stopped using the treadmill it is already getting better. However, I'm going to do the strength training since I want to get back to the treadmill asap.
Swimming was hard today. Don't know why.
Been a tiring week.

I was able to get almost an hour of walking in before the weather got bad again. OK, we don't have to shovel out a blizzard's worth of snow in sub-zero weather; but for us mid 50's with intermittent rain showers sets off the Emergency Broadcasting System, (it really does... ).
I completed Challenges 1 and 2. Fluffy took a cue from Peanut, and disappeared for most of the kickboxing, right up to the part where I laid on my back. Nothing like a wet dog helping you exercise! Fluffy also became very jealous of my feet, during their massage
I also found a video of a different type of Thai Massage:

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND EVERYONE!!5 -
I picked eggplant to try for the challenge so I will be preparing that tomorrow, but yesterday I went shopping and picked up some cream spinach in the deli. Sounded pretty gross to me, but I like spinach. It wasn't that bad actually, so now I will have two foods for my challenge. Sorry no picture of the spinach, but I'll try to get a picture of the eggplant. I really like this challenge, I think I might continue to try new things, except sushi, you've got to draw the line somewhere. haha!!4

Worked on the massage tonight. Will finish tomorrow.
Way better when someone else does it.

Just drown in cheese! I can even get my husband to eat it with cheese!
Cheese and bacon make everything better... now to wrap my brain around actually eating that stuff!!

I found mine in the bagged salad section of my local Meijer. They had a ton of different kinds. I never look at them as they're a lot more expensive than heads of lettuce, but they definitely pack a better nutritional punch.3 -
@Vowder, I agree! I told my husband he had to massage my feet as part of this challenge and he was all in. And then fell asleep. Looks like my feet are on me today, darn it.2
-
Foot videos DONE! Now I'm gonna go punish them at the gym. Should have reversed that but nobody is up but me so I can do things like that without interruption. I will have the food eaten by the end of the day too.
Have a great Saturday!3 -

Tough week here - planned semi-rest week, but now I've got some sort of stomach bug. Sorry. Hoping to get in a long run tomorrow, but will have to wait and see. I have done all the challenges though.
@Vowder - as the queen of ankle injuries, I suggest rest, ice, and ibuprofren. If there is swelling I'd also suggest some sort of compression (over the counter ankle sleeve is fine if it is minor) and elevation. Don't do any activity that causes pain, until the pain is gone. Be careful with any stretching or strengthening exercises while there is still pain or swelling as they could make it worse. Swimming is generally pretty safe, as long as the flutter kick or pushing off from the wall doesn't aggravate it. And try to pinpoint what might have been the source. It does sound like the treadmill could be the culprit - I do stay away from the treadmill because it changes my gait and causes all kinds of problems. Could also be shoes if they have too many miles on them. Or.....something else? If the pain continues, get it checked out. If there is also swelling or bruising, get it checked out. With as much time as you spend on the treadmill, a stress fracture is within the realm of possibility.
For challenge three......
I had a salad with beets, goat cheese, and yellow carrots. I've had beets and goat cheese before, they're just not high on my preferred list. Never had yellow carrots. Really, I ordered the salad because of the kale and quinoa, which I love. Anyways, I didn't love the beets and goat cheese - made it hard to taste anything else in the salad. I took off most of the goat cheese and some of the beets. I did enjoy the yellow carrots.
I also tasted my wife's pasta bolognese that she ordered on Valentine's Day. I don't typically eat beef or pork. It was fine. I wouldn't want to eat more than a bite.
Hopefully that fulfills the intent of the challenge. There's not a lot of "healthy" foods that I haven't tried, and those that I don't like - I've tried more than enough times to know that I don't like it (mostly meats and fish). And though I definitely have preferred fruits and vegetables, I like and will eat almost any.
So if I need to try something else, I may need some suggestions.2 -
@ka97: That should work great for Challenge #3!
Sorry to hear about your stomach bug!
HUGS TO YOU TOO! JUST DON'T BARF ON ME!4 -
