Did well on the eating, not so well on the exercise! :(
For lunch I had a salad- spring mix lettuce, one hardboiled egg, bacon, 1/2 avocado, red and yellow pepper slices, and my homemade balsamic vinaigrette. Tonight my marathon training kicked off, so I left work a bit early to attend the first session. I had a little baggy full of almonds, cashews and banana chips as a pre-workout snack. When our run began, I felt perfectly fine...no hunger, cravings or anything.
The bad thing that happened was I sprained my stupid ankle again!! :( Last summer I sprained my "good" ankle pretty badly while trail running. It took the entire summer for it to heal. One mile into the training run, I took a bad step (right after someone mentioned being careful about footing!), and down I went! How did I know I would do this?!? I honestly saw it coming. From now on, I MUST wear an ankle brace. I really should wear one on both ankles. Ugh. Just makes me so mad.
Hopefully it's not as bad this time, and I will recover quick. I'm aiming for a week off, maybe two. If all goes well, I'll lose a good amount of weight on this Whole 30 challenge, and post-challenge...and that will help me bounce back with my training.
Good thing I work at a physical therapy clinic! I'll have the PT look at it tomorrow and see if he can estimate my healing time. What a bad way to start my marathon training!! :( The good thing is that I'm now more motivated to continue with this challenge, as I really need to lose this weight once and for all. I know it's part of the reason that I have weak ankles- too much weight to bear on them! :(
I hope tomorrow I have some good news about my ankle!
