starsapart Posted September 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Day 4 Yesterday was exactly what it needed to be - a morning and afternoon at a really nice spa, a fancy sushi dinner, and more Cirque du Soleil whereupon I made grabby hands at all the aerial artists. Also, there was a gym! Yesterday's summary:Goal 1: 4/7Ankle mobility exercises done!Walked for about two miles to dinner/the show and backMost notably - I walked a short distance without the brace! Without pain! HUZZAH! This makes showring worlds easier!On the downside, I tried swimming and discovered the motion required of my foot is still not happening so... no training in swimming for at least another week or two, ah well. Floating was had.Goal 2: 2/3Did leg extensions and hamstring curls as part of my second weights circuit at the spa's gymDid my ankle strengthening stuff... plus, you know, walked brace-less!Goal 3: 2/3Did 3 sets of 8 lat pull downs a 82.5 pounds. Going for 90 on Sunday when I get back to my regular gym!Also, got a massage (which was heavenly) and a facial and have been watching acrobats all week and dreaming about aerial training, hnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng. So much want. HEAL FASTER, FOOT.

I'm getting back to where I started, bit by bit! Awesome progress, so glad you're able to walk a little w/o the brace and w/o pain! I know the distance will keep increasing.

Congrats on painless, braceless walking! That's fantastic! Every step counts You can do this! Thanks! I kicked Assassin bonus challenge butt this week generally with all the walking I did. Woo! That all sounds so awesome! Congrats on going braceless and easier showering! Yessssss the showering! So pleased about this. No more handicapped shower, I am so thrilled. I am here for the funny motion pictures... Oh and to support you of course, cuz you know, you rock. keep on keeping on! Awwwww, thanks~! I'll keep on keeping on... and once I've caught up from vacation, check in on your no doubt phenomenal progress too! Yay, braceless walking! That must have felt great Also I am super jealous of all this massage/facial/Cirque stuff. Such heavenly. Very vacation. Wow... It was so fantastic!

starsapart Posted September 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 Day 5 Oh look, catch-up time! I am home at last! Some thoughts at the bottom, but first, let's look back in time~ Friday's summary:Goal 1: 5/7Ankle mobility exercises done!4.5 hours of walking total in about 13 hours out and about... lots of breaks and sitting and sipping iced green tea, but still, I aced the walking!Day 6 Another day spent in the car, capped off with a freezing shower since the gas in our house was switched off due to a leak, sigh. But I persevered somehow. Yesterday's summary:Goal 1: 6/7Ankle mobility exercises done before the trip, on the road, and again before bedI made a point to get out and walk a little at every rest stop (including once without the brace!) and considering my foot was still very tired from Friday's epic feats of epicness, this was just about the right amountThe trip in general was fabulous, but very hot and exhausting and frankly, I am thrilled to be home. My friend leaves tomorrow, and then life will go back to dull and simultaneously glorious routine. I got a lot of inspiration (and motivation) for my circus arts aspirations, and despite eating dessert every single day, the obsessive calorie counting I engaged in paid off, as I weighed in this morning 2.2lbs lighter than last week. Also, a personal victory: in Vegas, aside from food, I bought myself exactly one thing - a $20 straw hat to replace the one I had forgotten at home (with my skin, it's wear a hat or burn to a crisp, even with sunblock, so I consider this purchase a necessity not unlike toothpaste). I resisted all the pretty, shiny things! No jewelry! No clothes! No souvenirs of any kind! Just a fun time with people I care about without unnecessary extra expenditures. I'm really pleased about this. Today, I'll go to the gym and polish off my goals for week one. I'll do a write- Tomorrow, once my friend is gone, I will be blitzing through everyone's threads (sorry for my silence this week, I swear I still care!!!) and playing catch-up with everything ever. I'm so glad to be back, and so exhausted. 5 🎪current challenge🎪 challenge archive: 19 | 18 | 17 | 16 | 15 | 14 | 13 | 12 | 11 | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 instagram | goodreads "Let us read, and let us dance; these two amusements will never do any harm to the world." - Voltaire Link to comment
