Day 5?

Another day here... I like my job but I do wish I was more active at work.. I've been making it a priority to take the stairs and oh my gosh.. 4 flights of stairs, down is easy but up? Gosh it's embarrassing how out of shape I feel. This week hasn't felt like a good week for working out. Last day I went running was Saturday and my ankle hardcore swelled. I have been working with Tommy on figuring out what I should be doing to work out and we (okay he) decided I'm going to hit the elliptical. Goal 4x a week for 60 minutes, no resistance and no incline. Should be much easier impact on my ankle. Although I'm about ready to chop the bloody thing off. After this much time it should not be giving me so much grief. I've done a lot of walking though, got a nifty pedometer that updates my smartphone and all these other apps I have going. Goal is 10,000 steps a day, and I've been on the increase, parking further away, taking the stairs... doing things in lieu of working out. It also doesn't help that I'm waiting to get access to the gym at my new building here at work... Don't really feel like I should have to drive accross town to our other office before/after work just to use the elliptical/weights. So I've been doing things instead... also do you know how much walking you do at mall of america? Answer? A LOT. and then last night my coworker Ashley and I went to the twins game, we parked a little bit of a trek away, and got to walk to the game and back.. upped the steps on my pedometer for sure. I'm still pretty positive with my outlook, I know it's day 4/90 it'd be way bad if I was super discouraged already... but this ankle business is throwing a wrench in my plans. I think a lot of that does have to do with the weather though... Anyways. I'm rambling.. A lot...
