Damn you, Ankle!

I broke my workout yesterday into two parts for a few reasons.

1.) Getting your period sucks. I was in soooo much pain even through 2 extra-strength pain relievers that you are sooooo only supposed to take 1 at a time of :x but I took one and an hour later was still in pain so I took a second. I refrained from taking the 3rd for another 2 hours or so after that.

2.) My leg was bothering me. The ankle pain has moved to my knee and twinges in my hip some. The ankle brace has been helping, though, and today my knee and hip feel fine so far.

Today I also broke my workout into two parts. At 20 minutes my ankle started feeling funny, then it kept getting worse so at 35 minutes I jumped off. I sat down, pulled off my shoe, sock and saw that my heel looked funny so I took the brace off. I sat with it elevated for a little while then got back on and finished my hour.

Part of me really thinks I am not going to see any weight loss next week either. That's scary. I know that if I don't, I just have to suck it up and deal and find the solution. I'm not overly concerned with it, but long-term I'm worried about my (and anyone's) ability to remain motivated without seeing tangible results.
