My Achilles Tendon is my Achilles Heel.
My Achilles tendon really is an Achilles tendon. It's going to be the death of me.
On November 12, 2005 I fell in my drive way while getting in to my car. I broke my ankle. Specifically I snapped off my Lateral malleolus. I broke it off. SNAP. (Yes, it made that noise.)
In the process I did some ugly things to my Achilles tendon and the other tendons and ligaments in my ankle and foot. It was not a pleasant injury and the recovery was fabulously awful.
Since then I have periods of time where my ankle decides it just wants to be a pain... literally and figuratively. About this time last year I came down on my ankle roughly and got my tendon all inflamed. It took probably 3 months to get back to working out without pain. This time? I tweaked it stretching! STRETCHING! Last week when I said it hurt to teach HHH it was because of this silly tendon and it's currently inflamed status.
Here's the thing - I am doing everything I know to do to in order to get this silly tendon to heal up. I rest it (outside of teaching, obviously), ice, compression, elevation, anti-inflammatory meds and massaging the tendon before bed time. It's not getting worse but it's not really getting better either.
It feels better for a day or two and then I'm walking down the hallway at work and it goes "OW! NO WALKING LADY!" or it feels fine all day and then I get up to pee at 3a.m. and it says "Saaaam! Get back in to bed!!!!" Ungh! I just want this to stop being so schizophrenic.
Aside from dealing with the bum ankle I've been enjoying getting my hands in to the Team Beach Body coaching arena. I'm really excited about the release of Tropical Shakeology next week. I need to call tomorrow and get my autoship changed to Strawberry. MmMm.
I'm really falling in love with GreenBerry too! The sample I got has wound up being addictive. It's all about getting the right fruit juice behind it and the right fresh or frozen fruit to get the right consistency. Favorite GreenBerry recipe so far?
Tomorrow is my 30 day weigh in and measurement meeting for my BB challenge and I am excited to see what the scales and tape have to say.
I feel like I'm on a real roll. Nutritionally I'm making good decisions, my exercise schedule is solid and I'm starting to work on some LifeKraze challenges to do 2012 crunches and 2012 push-ups in 2012. I'm behind but I'm working on them day by day! I can do this! I can do it all!

Whirlwind week and a new side job!!
If last week was a bad week in terms of health this week was a wild one in terms of work and home life.
My office job has been FULL of insane tasks this past week. Lots of analysis, a lot of learning new programs and systems and a lot of busy work! I hardly had a moment to catch my breath!
Zumba has been wild and wooly too! Class on Monday at the academy was awesome. Both classes on Tuesday were fantastic. Wednesday TurboKick kicked my tail from one side of the to the other and Zumba was great too! Until I over stretched my Achilles tendon again. That made both Zumba and Hip Hop Hustle on Thursday kind of painful but totally worth it.
We did our first "The Show" Hustle class on Thursday and I am so proud of my crew for rocking it hard! It hurt to jump so I had to coach more than dance but I still sweat my tail off. So proud!
Friday I filled in for Sue at the Y and taught another class. It was a trip and a half! I love the Friday night crew at the Y. They brought the fun!
Then I made a decision that I hope winds up being a good one... I signed up to be a BeachBody coach!!
When I started the BeachBody Challenge with Tricia and the rest of the team at the start of January I wasn't sure what I was getting in to but it's been a real eye opened for me.
Shakeology is pretty much the best thing to happen to me nutritionally in a long time! Breakfast is so hard for me because of the queasiness my synthroid and cytomel cause me in the mornings. Favorite recipes so far?
I'm also totally sold on TurboJam and the Shaun T Rockin' Body workouts! I love the way they mix up my Zumba schedule and help me on days when I don't want to leave the house. I love the energy they help bring!!

Christmas Joy.
Merry Christmas blog-land!
Yesterday I got my BeachBody package and ripped in to it like a kid on Christmas morning. I was totally excited to get started on the Turbo Jam program. I wanted to read all the stuff, look at the Shakeology recipes and give one of the workouts a try. So I did!
I can't wait to try some of the stuff but I'm going to start off with the simple Chocolate Milk or Chocolate Banana shakes. I need to pick up some Via and try doing Mocha shakes!
Turbo Jam is AWESOME. I watched the learn and burn without doing it just to see if it was any different than the moves from Turbo Kick and since it wasn't I hopped up and jumped right in to the 20 minute workout. Of course that wasn't enough so I wore the weighted gloves while I did it! Talk about delicious! My arms were noodly afterwards.
This morning I did the Cardio Party workout with the gloves and I'm kind of regretting wearing the gloves with it too. Too much of a good thing? Nawww! Just need to be careful about overdoing it.
Today we did breakfast with the in-laws while opening Christmas presents. I got some jammies, some sweatpants, a new water filter, and of course the new refrigerator.
Lunch today was awesome sauce. Ham, broccoli with cheese, lima beans, carrots, fruit salad and olive bread. Dessert was coffee and 1/4 slice of 4 different types of cheesecake. The 4 of us decided to split the 4 types in the sampler - white chocolate raspberry, chocolate swirl, turtle and amaretto. I could have eaten all 3 slices of the amaretto DELISH!
Now we're back at the house relaxing and I'm watching the Doctor Who marathon leading into the Christmas special. I may do the 20 minute turbo workout again tonight to make up for all the cheesecake. More than likely I'll just rehearse Zumba stuff since I've got a 75 minute class tomorrow evening.
OH! And for the ease of challenges and weight watchers I changed my weigh-in back to Sunday and today I weighed in at 326.8! Back below pre-vacation weight. Go Zumba, Chalene and Weight Watchers!

Christmas week crazies. Bodybugg! and January 2012 goals.
Work was totally and utterly insane this week. Year end stuff is just wild. I got a ton accomplished and I feel good about where we are going in to 2012.
There was a bit of work related drama this week that put me in a bit of a foul mood. I'm ready for the new year and the permanent team and standardization.
Wednesday night after work I hit up two classes at the Y. First TurboKick! It was with a different instructor and Daphne is just awesome. Different vibe to the class but I loved it and my body is STILL hurting!
Well, partly because of that and partly because of taking Zumba with Mrs. Fatass herself right afterwards! It was AMAZING! So very much fun!
Two fantastic hours of cardio with two amazing ladies!
Thursday was The Nutcracker and it was fantastic! I felt like a kid watching it. The dancing was amazing, the costumes unbelievable and the magic stuff they added was just cool.
Tonight I had a kick ass Zumba class. 11 people, which is HUGE for a Friday night, and everyone left with a big ol' smile on their faces.
Food wise I've been doing okay the last few days. Yesterday dinner was a bit weird as we had a weird schedule because of the ballet but all in all a good few days.
The most exciting thing? Today I got my Bodybugg! EEEEE! I'm still getting used to it and I messed up logging my first workout using their workout tracker but I got the calorie count which is what mattered. It's a nifty tool and it makes for a fitness video game feel. I want to burn the most and eat the best and walk the most steps! It'll be interesting to see how I get to incorporate it over the next few weeks.
I also met with my new beachbody team members yesterday. We took our before pictures and discussed goals and plans. I remembered I took some pictures last December and I compared them. Maybe I'll get brave and post them. Maybe at the end of the 30 day challenge.
Goals for January? Lose 15-17 pounds. Work out mornings with Turbo Jam and my normal Zumba schedule in the evenings. I am also going to be doing Shakeology shakes. Add in the BodyBugg and Weight Watchers and I think I have all the tools needed to reach my goals! It's going to be a wild month and I'm ready to everything! Right tools, right support, right time!
