I miss exercise!

Wednesday I had it set in my mind that I was going to sweat and burn some fat. I was 1 lb from losing 50 lbs. So I went to the fitness center and changed up my normal schedule (30 mins of treadmill and 10 mins of bike) to 20 mins on the treadmill and 20 mins on the bike. About 3 mins before I finished my work out, my knee gave way. It was like a snap. As determined as I was, I still made myself continue until I completed the full 20 mins. Now I regret it. I was just able to walk back to my place. Since then the pain is excrutiating, especially when standing and moving around after I have been idle for a while. And I will not mention what it is like when I get in and out of the car. My doctor seems to think that I pulled a tendon or ligament and it should heal within the week. So I know that I can't have Ibuprofen for the inflammation, so I am putting ice on it as much as I can when I am home. I just miss my exercise so much because I can see big results when I am sweating. I didn't meet my goal on Wednesday morning - but I did today! . I am at -51. In just 3 more pounds I will be below 300.

Well congrats on getting past 50 pounds!!! Doesn't that suck when you get into a good routein and have it get messed up? I know just for me, my gym is closed on Sunday so every Monday I get exhausted so much faster. I hope that by Monday's weigh in you can annouce you are in the 200s!! Dawn

Thank you. It does suck. I just got through icing it. Beth

Sorry to hear about your knee that can be painful. Hope your feeling better soon and back at the gym sweeting.

Me too Carly. I didn't think that I would miss the exercise this much!

Ah Beth, sorry to hear you hurt your knee while you were exercising. do you have to wear a brace or anything? take care of yourself Kim

Hey Kim, No- the doc was going to have me go for an MRI, but said that it seems like I just pulled a muscle or tendon. Hopefully it will heal w/in a few days. I pray anyone. Thank you, Beth

Will tylenol help?? I was always using Aleve and ibuprofen pre-op, thankfully I haven't been in any accidents post to require anything. Congrats on meeting your under 50 goal! Keep up the good work! I'm right there with ya, hoping to be under 300 on Monday or close to it lol- only 8 to go!

Jaci, I haven't tried the tylenol. I am just the type to deal with the pain. I will give it a few days and if it isn't better I will probably have an MRI done. Thanks for your well wishes! Good luck on meeting your goal. Beth

Owee! How's the knee now? Maybe you should see someone about it
