Doing Too Much




So sometimes last week I hurt my knee.  It wasn't horrible but I had a slight limp and some pain.  I could still workout and walking wasn't too bad.  I was walking to my bus yesterday and feeling very energetic and I tried to go to fast walking up the escalator and I felt something bad happen. After that even putting weight on it hurt.

I put some icey hot on it and that helped alot. I can kind of hobble along, but too much walking and the knee starts to hurt.  It only seems to be a problem if I'm on it too much.

With all of that I want to work out and this is why I love Fitnessglo.

I logged in.  I didn't feel comfortable doing my usual level  2 workout, so I filtered by getting started and level 1 (and yes they are really different) I previewed workouts that were low impact and/or had a chair to help with balance.  I picked out a cardio and a strength training workout. I scheduled them for tomorrow morning.

I'm going to do them tomorrow.  I got on the scale this morning and I'm down a little.  I don't want to overtax my leg, but I have only worked out once this week and I'd like all the help I can get when I visit my family this week.

Well I got back on track with the walking. 7 miles in 2 days is alot compared to where i started from and would be nice to knock out 10 miles by sunday (the end of my work out week). Well on 3fc I have noticed how bad High Frucose Corn Syrup (HFCS) is. So I had some lamb to cook and wanted some flavor. So instead of the marinade (which has HFCS) I bought I put some olive oil, rosemary and thyme in a pan and heated that then added the lamb. A little salt and pepper on both sides. It was probably the best lamb I have ever cooked. I think I am going to give the un-used stuff to my family and finish up the rest. Or we'll see. Something else that happened yesterday. I take the bus from NY to NJ to go home and there is a long escalator to get to the bus top. Easily 20-30 feet.....and the escalator wasn't working. I walked up without stoping. I didn't feel like I was going to die and at the top I didn't stop I kept moving to get to where I had to go. So I realized...

Can't stop Won't stop

So I'm about 2 lbs away from my monthly goal.  I haven't worked out in about a week, but I have been on plan for 3 days after the visit to my parents. I've realized the most important part of losing weight is staying focused.  If you fall off the wagon get up. If you are tilted to the side, get straight, but keep going.  The worse thing you can do is stop trying.  Over all I only lost 2 lbs, but I recovered from the bad weekend and my period came so all the days I stayed on plan meant I didn't have this huge gain. Stupidly proud of myself. Something else weird happened this week. I usually drink ice coffee, but its pricey, so I bought starbucks pre-made ice coffee.  I ended up having this weird sugar headache.  I ate food, thinking I wasn't eating enough.  After 2 hours I had a pack of oreos and it went away after about 40 min. The next day I had no coffee and no issues.  It makes me think there is something with the starbucks coffee...
