CIM Training Week 5, Day 2: Elliptical Cross Training

Well, the elliptical went great today, no added strain on my ankle. What was annoying was my knee actually, as the band-aid started slipping around and irritating it. That's just me being whiny. It looks like it's starting to scab over, and it's right on the kneecap, so all that movement just bugs.

Oh yeah, look what I noticed my hand looked like just before going to the gym.


That bruise wasn't there until today. Amazing what I'm discovering about how I went down, I have a baseball-sized bruise on my right hip, too.

Anyway, 45 minutes elliptical, 460 calories burned.

CIM Training Week 5, Day 1: Doctor Visit

This afternoon I went to the doctor to make sure my ankle is doing ok.

I went in there, and he looked at my foot. He felt the sore spot, then moved it up, down, left, right, around. Told me to expect some bruising, but that it doesn't look broken, just a strain.

Then he told me what I already knew about and was doing: RICE. Rest, Ice, Compress, Elevate. Get an ace bandage. Was I taking any anti-inflammatories? I told him Aleve, along with a Glucosamine/Chondroitin/MSM supplement and my Mega Men Sport. He nodded his head, said take it easy until it heals.

5 minutes after he walked in the door, I was on my way. So the good news is nothing's broken, but 5 minutes? He didn't even comment on the fact that my blood pressure was 142/70. I had high blood pressure before losing weight, should I freak out over it?

Anyway, the plan is to cross train the next week and stay off it as much as I can, RICE, and plan on running again next Wednesday.
