Well I’m happy to report that my back pain has now vanished.  Many thanks to my chiropractor. :)  And while last week was a bust for exercise and fitness, I was very pleased to weigh in on Monday and find myself with zero gained [or lost].  I can live with that!

So I got back into things again this week. I am enjoying workouts 11 & 12.  So challenging and I like the moves.  These videos are more “fun” for me than some of the others.  However I did hurt the outside edge of one of my feet doing something.  I think it must have been during one of the jumping things.  My chiropractor did adjust my foot for me and its on the mend, but I swear it seems like I just can’t do exercise without having pain somewhere!

The last few times I’ve going for a run, I’ve gotten pain on the sides of my ankles….I think in the tendons there.  It just gets SO sore and painful that many times I have to just stop running, but other times I can keep going but I know if I do go too much that area will be sore for a couple days.  It was my left ankle [2 weeks ago...I didn't run last week with my back pain], and now this week its my right one! :P  I swear!!

When I mentioned it to my chiropractor he said simply “Bad feet!”  Well isn’t that the truth… I have really low arches and I over pronate.  I have good shoes with good support but I’m almost thinking I need insoles with that.

Anyway, such is life and I’ll work through it.  I do the best I can with what I’ve been given. :)  But otherwise I’m just plugging through week 11.  Next week will be a bit crazy and at this point I’m thinking that Wed-Sat will = no workout dvd’s. :(  So I’m thinking that I’ll just get in what I can for exercise that week, and really do week 12 the following week.   Either way – I’m almost to the end! :)

And before I go, I have a few pics of my non-human “girls” to share! :)  We have these two chickens that we got earlier this spring.  They were tinier than the rest so they were kept together in a small cage until they were bigger enough to mingle with the big ones.  They formed some sort of bond.  These two are together all day.  Even if they are apart from the others.  Its so sweet. :)  Now they have taken to liking our outdoor swing…

My oldest was taking the camera around and snapping pics.  She does an amazing  job most times with her very close zoomed in shots of things.  I’m always amazed that she gets such a clear shot when she’s this close in.  She loves using the camera!
