Intake

I have learned that I typically work out harder/more so I don't have to stress as much about what I eat. I can eat right for weeks and nary drop a pound, but as soon as I start to sweat, the weight starts to drop off. It's a good like I love being active I guess :)

Now that my working out is hobbling around the house and pushups/planks/situps/stretching, I can't get away with that.

Maybe this injury is just what I needed to reign in my eating habits and get me focused on intake this holiday season instead of focusing on the "repairing" through exercise. It sure sounds like a healthier approach. If I can get control of this area, I will be a force to reckon with once I can do cardio workouts again.

As of today, I have much better range of motion and have removed one level of the wedge in the boot. I have goals to be driving to my two week follow-up appt on the 18th, but wonder if it is silly to make goals when it comes to recovery? Long term (if I consider January as the long term, which I do) I really want to be healed and start the soccer season and resume the kickboxing and mild running. They are lofty goals, but I am stretching and walking in the boot a ton and feel the difference. I don't want to set myself up for failure, but I can't let this drive to reach these goals pass my by. I am hoping that by following doctors orders that he will give me the go ahead to keep on and trust my body when it comes time to get back to it.
