Not a fitness blog but..."bootcamp"

As a woman who was slender and tall-ish (5'7'') the majority of my life, I find it frustrating that I cant lose the 20+ pounds I gained two years ago. This gain I blame on the partly on the recession and partly on love :) I lost the job i loved and moved states, this caused both depression and home-sickness that both contributed to emotional eating. And secondly, like i mentioned love. Although wonderful, many night of dining at restuarants and cocktails and "the honeymoon phase" added pounds too.

In any case, i have been trying different work-outs to find one i enjoy enough to stay consistent. I bought 20 sessions of "bootcamp" style work out, it is a fitness class outdoors that does strength and cardio training. I went 6 sessions and lost 5 pounds. That's the good news, the bad news is my ankles hurt, ALL the time, like it hurts to walk! it also hurts to go up and down stairs. I don't know what to do to repair this and it makes me worried that the pain will never go away...

So bootcamp is out obviously. I didn't mean this to be a blog on fitness so i may periodically update my workouts to update you on when or if i find something i can stick to.
