So I’m back…

Up until this afternoon, I was still walking around with my therma-brace thingimajig and a wobble/waddle. I was still having a hard time walking down stairs, changing my weight from my left leg to my right leg, and doing light jogging.

But luckily, when I woke up this morning, I could put more weight in my right leg, and actually walk a little bit better (more normal-looking!). Even my workmate noticed how I was starting to walk normally again… but of course I still had that little wobble. And yes, the therma-brace is gone.

So, because I’m a brave (and silly) girl, I braved going back to the scene of the crime: the Attack class. Hmmm yes you might say I’m crazy, silly, even a plain eejit, but I missed Attack and no twisted ankle is gonna get in my way (yeah right)!!! I was already dropping hints to the boyfriend on lunchtime that I’m planning on going to my regular Wednesday Attack class, and he promised me if he finds out that I actually did go he will “papaluin ang pwet mo” (er, slap you butt……). But, I still went, and I told him on the phone after the class, and he just sighed deeply and said that he expected me to go anyway because I’m very hardheaded and persistent, and that he will slap my butt the next time he sees me. Yeah, that’ll be in 2 days time and knowing him he will forget it he he he.

Anyway enough about the boyfriend and more about me! HAHAHA just kidding! So Attack class was… Attack class. I did most of the low impacts, discovered that everything else didn’t hurt (everything meaning the shuffle, jacks, star jumps, even the superman moves) except for a few moves: lunges, high knee jog (that’s where I got the sprain in the first place), and normal jogging or sprinting. So I kept it low… paced myself… and exploded in the upper body track (push ups) because it’s the only track that didn’t involved my lower appendages so I was able to do “high impact” moves.

I’ll be missing gym tomorrow again because I’m visiting a friend’s dad in the hospital after work (very, very sad news!), and Friday is my day off from gym day, so my next Attack class will be on Saturday again… which marks 1 week since the said ankle sprain. Le sigh.

But I’m happy because at least I was able to go back to exercising again! YAAAAY! I really thought it was going to be a long hiatus, but it wasn’t! :)
