Well alas, the exercises are going along as good as can be. Chest dips are definitely tough as I can't support my whole body weigh yet, but I found a nice place to do them, between two sofas! Yesterday, I went back to jump roping as my calf was feeling just fine, no pain. I was really trying to pay attention to my body and then on jump 1340...TWING...same right calf muscle, strained yet again. This is very frustrating. I finished the remaining 10 jumps on my left leg, and continued on with the rest of the exercises without much issue. The creeps were a little painful on the calf, so I just didn't go as low. During all other exercises, I felt the good kind of burn one should feel. So I'm back to caring for my calf. I guess I came back too soon to the jump rope and it's such a bummer because again, the alternatives take so much longer! But I do them and still feel winded and legs tired, but I'd rather be jump roping (never thought I'd say that - ha!).
As for the diet, it's going well. I'm sticking to it but right now, I'm finding that I have too many veggies in my house and I can't eat them all before they spoil. Alas, no AMAYW for me this week of anything! I'm going to try a freeze them.
This past weekend I went apple picking and picked some of the most amazing apples. I plan to make Sara's apple sauce recipe tonight.
That is frustrating and I wish there was some quick way for this pain to go away for you. I guess you're doing everything right by mixing it up and not doing too much jumping on it. Just time at this point and stretch stretch stretch!
ReplyDeleteYep freezing vegetables preserves almost all their nutritional content!
ReplyDeleteOh no! That stinks about your calf. Hope it gets better (again) very soon. How was the apple sauce?? I'm due for another batch soon. Nice photos!!!
