Low Impact?

Morning Weigh-in: 194.5

So, I had been told that swimming would be the best exercise for me-- low impact, right? Nope. Swimming was AWFUL for my ankle. I couldn't even stay in the pool for very long I ended up mostly hopping on the other foot and treading water with my arms for most of the time. When I got out of the pool I was staggering around and my ankle was back to being HUUUGE. I should have taken a picture, I think that's the worst it's ever been.

Swimming was fun though, if painful. Now I'm wishing I could go back to cardio right away-- not a good plan. At least when I go to the gym I can wear my brace and monitor my motion.

Even so, I did lose a pound yesterday. I was pretty good about counting my calories (in the end I might have had one breadstick too many, but I did lose a pound, so we'll see how it pans out).

I'm going to be good again today and hopefully I can break my 2-week plateau.

I told Tay yesterday "I've been stuck in the mid-90s for like two weeks,"
And she was like, "You've been watching 'Saved by the Bell' or what?"
