TOO FUNNY..COME READ!

So I figured I'd humor you all w/my funny..but predictable story (as my friends would say) lol.

I am TRYING to lose weight for the wedding. Although I have accomplished 9lbs..I thought I'd try running to help me lose the last 10lbs that I want to lose. So FH and myself went running 2 weeks ago..and I did it twice that week. The second time..I felt a pain in my right ankle so I figured...ahhh let me walk it off. I walked it off and started again....and the pain came again. So...I walked again.

Anyway..long story short (sort of ) ..my ankle has been KILLING me since! I am walking w/a limp and figured mineral ice would do the trick..and bracing it at night. Well here we are 2 weeks later...and guess what??? YEP! I'm still in pain and it's worse!!
So I go to the Orthopedic MD (taking advantage of my insurance..lol) and it turns out that I:
1) sprained my ankle
2) have tendonitis (which is what Athletes...people who run ALL the time get, not new runners who think they are pros and go running in the street lol).
So..now I have to take Naproxen (muscle relaxer) which I could use in this god for saken stress hole of a job...and I have to wear a brace.
NEXT STOP...SENIOR CITIZENS HOME! LOL
I told the doctor...I guess it's not meant for me to exercise!

i would take that as a sign that i should excersise too!! im always on the lookout for those types of signs!!

really? I defenitely plan to go back to the gym..but picture me in a brace on the treadmill or elyptical machine? Am I REALLY that dedicated?

be careful when you do go back [to the gym]....my wrist is still weak from spraining it nearly 3 years ago...i can't go bowling and i have to watch how i grasp heavy items.

glad you can laugh about it..or is it the muscle relaxers talking?

I WISH! I haven't taken them YET!!

I know...I'm going to take it easy...it just *****!! (Does that sound convincing...like I'm really down about not being able to exercise? ). All jokes aside...I am kind of bummed.

Wow, I'm glad you're able to laugh about it!!! You've got the right attitude, thank goodness it happened now and not closer to your big day!!

Hope you heal up real quick!!

911 Operator: What is your emergency?
Gym Employee: Hi, this is XXXXXXX Gym, we have a pile of hair, an ankle brace and a pretty diamond ring on our sauna floor. We need an ambulance fast.
911 Operator: Is this a joke?
Gym Employee: No, one of our members sprained her ankle and thought she could just stay in the sauna to make up for no running. Now she's wilted away to those items i mentioned. Please send someone soon...I have 20 members eager to experience this rapid weight loss and I need to mop the floor first.
