Day 3 - Workout + Supper

I hurt my ankle during my workout today. I was doing some old basketball drills to warm up and segue into some good cardio, and I felt the back of my ankle pull while jogging in place. Though it doesn't hurt when stationary, it hurts when I walk. As I sit here typing, I can feel it stiffening. I had to stop everything and just do stationary bike. Still, I was able to pull of a few exercises for my legs that did not put any stress on the back of my ankle.

Workout:
-10 mins of cardio drills (skipping rope, side-stepping, skiing in place, jogging in place, etc.)
-5 min. of stationary bike
-3 x 8 dumbell squats
-3 x 8 calf raises
-2 x 12 standing side leg lifts, slow and controlled
-2 x 12 standing rear leg lifts, slow and controlled
-15 minutes of stretching.

It had to be a light workout today because, well, I can't really do much with my legs. Grrr... at least I can still ride stationary bike and workout my upper body properly, so even if this turns out to be a tear or a sprain, I can still forge on in my 180-day mission.

Supper was nice, huge and healthy:

-1 boiled chicken breast without the skin
-1/2 a plate of steamed broccoli w/ 1 teaspoon of butter
-1 cup of fresh raspberries
-1 boiled egg white
-1 cup of whole grain brown rice
-1/2 a boiled potato
