Happy Tuesday!
I was a brave girl yesterday and FINALLY made an appointment with an orthopedic. I know I should have done this weeks ago but I was in denial and hoping it would just go away. My appointment is at 2:00pm today and I’m pretty nervous about it. I’m going to listen to the doctor and do what ever he tells me to, but I’m praying it’s nothing serious. Please send good vibes my way. 🙂
Since I know I’m not going to be running for a while I’ve decided to make a plan and set some goals for the next couple of weeks. Not being able to run is like not being able to breathe (I know…I’m so dramatic) and I need to replace it with something and focus on being healthy so I can recover as fast as possible.
Goals:
- Work on getting 7-8 hours of sleep. My usual is 4-5 hours but since I’m not waking up early to run I’ll have a lot more time to sleep.
- Eat a variety of food. I tend to eat a lot of the same things which means I’m not getting all the nutrients I need. I’m not going to change my breakfast (I love my oatmeal too much) but I’m going to switch up lunch and dinner and make sure I’m getting enough whole grains, veggies, and fruit.
- Strength Train!!!!!!!!! Lift weights + abs every other day. Just because my Achilles is injured doesn’t mean I can’t work on my strength.
- #Fitblog PLANKS challenge
The #Fitblog Plank Challenge hosted by Morgan (Life After Bagels) and Katy (katywidrick)! This challenge will run for six weeks – May 16 to June 26.
