The Evil Plateau

This morning I was at 201.5. I'm not too surprised since I didn't get to finish exercising last night. But do you know what's getting a little frustrating? Never getting below 201. That's frustrating. Feb 23 was the first time I saw 201.5, since then I've been up to 203.5 and down to 201. I'm just going to keep plugging away! It can't stay stuck on me forever, so I'm just going to keep exercising.

The other interesting thing was that I've been talking about how my right ankle has been sore for awhile now. It never actually occurred to me to LOOK at it, since I figured it was just a pulled muscle or remnants of when I hurt it in freshman year-- nothing to see, right? But yesterday I had T look at it, and it's easily twice the size of my other ankle and a weird color of purple. :/

T thinks I should to go to the doctor. I think I hate doctors, and that it's not broken, so I should go get some sort of brace or ace bandage and move on with my life. The last time I had a problem with my ankle, they took an x-ray, found out it wasn't broken, then the doctor came into the room, poked my ankle (literally, poked it once) and prescribed me pain medication. THANKS BUDDY! Pain meds are nice and all, but I'd rather you actually fixed my problem rather than cover it up with drugs that dull my system and make me nauseous.

So I don't know what to do. In reality, T is right, my ankle does look pretty messed up, but that probably also means giving up exercising which I really do NOT want to do.
