cosmolinguistDespite missing circuits (slightly snotty, thought it unlikely I had germs but wanted to keep them home if I did), weightlifting (wasn't on) and swimming (I was Garysitting) last week, my ankle feels okay after circuits tonight!
And that's despite doing spider lunges and mountain climbers (which I do now, very slowly) back-to-back in the warm up, which left me wanting to go home after just that, haha.
My arms and legs are sore, but my ankle feels so normal that I'm a bit suspicious frankly!
The trainer noticed it too, they said my lunges are getting really good and I happily agreed. "On that foot!" I said about the one they'd just seen me do. "The other foot is the weak one..."
Still, we agreed that both are noticeably better. "Only taken me a year," I couldn't help but gripe.
"But you're here now!" they said.
"I'm here now," I had to agree, and smiled.

Date: 2024-11-14 09:14 pm (UTC)More or less...it's still weak and swells easily which is uncomfortable even if it isn't always debilitating. But yes it's so easy to think about what I've lost and actually I've gotten almost all of it back (I miss my stamina for walking but I'm trying to be patient about that).

I'm very glad they do such a good job of treading the line of complimenting our success/change without making it toxic-positivity or the kind of talk that contributes to bad body image and all the other failure modes that are so easy to fall into in their line of work.
