Happy Thursday! Best known for, well, for being the day before Friday!
I did not get to work out last night after all. It was a two-fer loser, and me, I can spot a sign.
First, it was still 95 degrees when it was time to go to the track. Sorry, people. But I know my limits.
Second, I had decided I would do the Walk Away The Pounds 3 mile work out and I was on my way down the stairs to do it and my knee popped. And I almost fell down the stairs but luckily did not. I stayed off it for a bit, and the pain went from barely tolerable to not too bad, and so I walked around the house a little bit. It was the same this morning – sometimes I can walk as far as I want and no pain and sometimes by the time I’m on my third step I am on my knees. So, I am going swimming tonight – I guess I need to let it rest some but I can’t stop working out completely. I am making progress, and I am not willing to just sit back on my ass. The guilt would kill me. And honestly, I look forward to my exercise. I feel so strong and vibrant and like the life that got sucked out of me at work is poured back in. Before, this would have been a great excuse to give up. Now, it’s a small bump in the road.
But, if swimming hurts it too I guess I will have to reevaluate. Perhaps get some actual medical advice. Blegh!
Today I am eating:
Breakfast – egg, english muffin, nectarine, milk
Snack – yogurt, 1 tsp brown sugar, blueberries
Lunch – Salad and grilled chicken
Snack – cottage cheese, grapes
Dinner – (Will be late, which is the only reason I am having snacks today) – no idea yet, something veggie and protein intense!
