Yesterday started out with a bang.. or really a little snap, crackle, pop. I was doing high knees in only the second set of my workout and my ankle rolled. The side of my foot was practically perpendicular to my leg and I was definitely seeing stars. I took it easy and ended up being able to finish my workout. Very carefully.
Looks good, right? Ugh. You bet I got my feet up and ankle iced when I got home from work though.
A little peanut butter mug cake action didn’t hurt either. Heather’s recipe is legit my favorite. You should definitely give it a try! <– A nice little segue into some more favorites from the week..

Oh no! Sending big prayers & get well wishes your way. Keep it easy & rest girl 🙂
Ouchie, sorry to hear that. Hopefully you bounce back quickly….if you need any exercises to strengthen your ankle, I know quite a few they use for rehab 🙂 Great links as always 🙂
Oh no! I hope your ankle gets to feeling better! Love your links!
Hope that ankle is okay-that’s always nerve-wracking!
This is a great list! Thank you so much for featuring my Pilates inspired circuit workout. Rest that ankle, lady!
Oh no!!! I am in the same boat right now. I found that 15 mins in a bucket of ice water, followed by 15 in hot epsom salt water 2x a night has helped a bit. And wine. 😉
Oh bugger, heal soon friend! Maybe more food to beat oxidative stress? hehe xoxo WINE
