Day 56

Well....I am late again today!!! I apologize, it was an early day at work today, but at least I am home now and relaxing. I have decided today is definitely going to be a very short post since I have some very much needed time with Alayna. It is very rare that I am home with her, so I want to take advantage of it!!

So I am headed back to the gym tonight for the first time in a little under a week (since I hurt my ankle), and we will see how it goes. I am in a pretty severe amount of pain, but I'm hoping it is something I can work through.

I know what you all are thinking, "You need to take time off to heal". I feel like I have taken the time I need and I just need to get back in the gym and see how it goes. I need to feel like I am doing something other than just eating healthy!!

Okay......I told you it was going to be short, I wasn't kidding!!! Off to spend time with my favorite little girl! Have a wonderful rest of the day!

Day 52

Alright everyone, I know that I'm late with this one!!! Work truly got the best of me. And unfortunately I had a small little accident happen last night that put me out of commission through till this morning. I unfortunately was at the gym and found that with each stride I took on the elliptical, the more pain the back of my heel to my knee hurt. So I called Hayden and told him to come pick me up, because I felt like something was wrong. We went to the ER and after way too long of a wait the doctor came in and told me that it was a severe Achilles strain, and that if I continue to work out how I am now, I would tear it. So of course I began to cry. Why after all this hard work, would something like this happen to me??? I was heartbroken. So I asked him what my options were, and I am currently on a steroid pack to see if that will help with swelling. If that does not do the trick, I will need to begin physical therapy 3-5 days a week, because an Achilles injury is not something to play around with.

So that leads me to today. I was in pain all day, and just ready to be home from work, which I finally am. I am not going to spend much time on here, because it is Saturday night and I want to spend it with Hayden and Alayna. But, I wanted to update you all, and I will go into a little more detail tomorrow!

Have a wonderful Saturday everyone!!!
