I'm curious if you can stand for any length of time. I have no idea what a broken ankle feels like or how it really limits you, but I wonder if there's any way you could get an effective cardio workout just with your upper body. |

I've been impressing myself with my workouts as of late. I'm down to 192, and I feel FIT.
Today I beasted the treadmill and did my usual 6 intervals, and then ended with 3 more 2 minute intervals on 9.0 speed. Ran about 4 miles averaging 9 minutes per mile and feel like I could've kept going but wanted to get my lifts in. I haven't gone every day like I've wanted to but I've been going 4 to 5 times a week and doing way more lifts than I originally anticipated. I really, really like Planet Fitness. |

How's their pizza? And god damn bro...I can't do a brisk walk for more than 5 minutes without fearing that I've used up too much energy for my lifts.

Running is really what I like doing at the gym, and was really my prime objective when I started working out again. I wanted to run every day because I feel like that's the best way to tone up. I started out really struggling but doing pretty well...now I feel like I can just go and go and go. Today when I was done I did my lifts with no issue, plenty of energy. I like this place because I get to run on the treadmill and stare at beautiful 19 year old girls butt cheeks...it's very motivating. |

they have those bicycling thing for your arms. I would think you could burn calories with a hurt ankle by doing leg extensions leg curles weight lifting etc.

Well, I have been low carb for nine days, minus a couple of minor hiccups. I have a Doctors appointment this afternoon, so I guess I will count that as my first official weigh-in!

We were out with some friends from out of town on Sunday, and I wound up having some pasta since we ate out for lunch.

I was not thinking in my earlier post, my Dr.'s appointment was at 2 o'clock, and I weighed in fully dressed. I did weigh myself this morning, so we will go with that weight for my first official weigh-in since starting: 273.6. Down 7.5 pounds in nine days so far, so I have no complaints. My blood sugar numbers have gotten drastically better as well.
