I did half of Interval Max I today.............

and it wasn't as bad as I had come to expect. I haven't gone back to Rhythmic step yet, but I got bold and tried IMAX 1 today and was pleasantly surprised. I was pleased that despite the fact I wasn't jumping as much as Cathe and the crew I did make it through and if it wasn't for time probably could have done the whole tape. I actually almost didn't exercise, I just wasn't into it today. My heel is hurting again so I didn't do my usual workout which would have been PS Legs and abs, didn't think squats and lunges would be good for it. I am done with the anti-inflammatory and the doctor wanted me to wait a couple of days and see how it goes. Well I don't think it is going well, ;( , I am thinking I may end up at the foot doctor after all. At least the step tape didn't hurt is too bad and you can modify where needed so that helped.

I am taking the boys to get their pictures made this afternoon so I will be busy. Have a great day!!!

Awww, poor thing! How depressing, huh? You've been thru a lot lately. What if you took some time off from any impact work at all (cardio) and just concentrated on weight work, minus squats & lunges???? I would think ANY jumping would aggravate your heel. Sorry, I know that is not what you want to hear. I would be bumming BIGTIME! Have you received Legs & Glutes yet? It has some awesome leg work that I think you will be able to do fine with the exception of squats & lunges. I know some here have cut waaaay back on their cardio and still had great results. Just an idea. Take it or leave it, right? How did the picture taking go? You have three boys, right? Would love to see a pix! :7 Annette, keep us posted on how you are doing. I am so sorry. :-(

Thanks Debbie, the picture thing was a whole nother fiasco! I fought with the boys, youngest son lost his brand new pair of jeans we had bought him, oldest son's shirt I had picked out didn't look right so I had to find another one at the last minute. Middle and oldest needed to wash their hair soo middle took a shower, while oldest balked and didn't want to. Finally after crying and pitching a fit(mind you this is an 11 year old UGH!!x( ) he washed his hair with MY help leaning over the shower because he didn't want to TAKE a shower!!!! He then cried that the water was going down his back, like duh it will if you aren't in the shower or leaning over far enough. Anyway then I made him tuck in the shirt that I had picked out and another battle ensued . It was not a good day to say the least. I decided to not put the youngest in holey jeans and went with khakis for him even though I had originally wanted them all in jeans. Anyway we got there and they had their pictures made and today after dh gets home from work I can go get the proofs.

Needless to say I stress ate all day long so eating was not a good thing yesterday:-( .

However my weight was actually ok this morning to my surprise so the day is looking up!! I did sleep in this morning because my shoulder was hurting yesterday evening not sure from the workout or the stress of the day.

And to beat all I didn't have any of the ingredients for my supper last night so at the last minute had to modify and come up with something different, UGH!!!!x( All over stressful day!!

Sorry to vent on you but hopefully today is going to look better and I am calling the doctor about my heel again and doing a weight tape as soon as I am dressed.

Thanks again for caring!!!
