Sunday Nov 13th:
90min, 2.75-ish miles, 497cal. We went on a hike as a family.
Monday the 14th:
75min, 4.86mi, 633cal I did 40min on the treadmill. I tried running but my knee hurt to bad. I tried doing the incline walk but I just couldn't get my heart rate up as high as I would like. Darn this getting fitter! lol I then did 35min on an elliptical.
My knee was excruciating the rest of the day. I iced it several times and stayed off of it as much as I could. Not easy with 3 of my own kids, another I watch, and having to transfer yet another kid from preschool to day care! It does feel a lot better this morning. Although now my foot hurts. I think I have heel spurs. YAY it never ends! lol I have some left over Percocet from surgery I had back in July, I was very tempted to take it. I didn't. I don't want to mask the pain, do something stupid to make it worse.
I'm thinking of taking a few weeks off from the gym. The idea terrifies me. I don't want to get depressed again like I was. The gym got me out of it. But if I blow my knee completely I may never get to go back again. I'm thinking of attempting Atkin's while I'm off of the gym. Last time I did it I lost quite a bit of weight, but got lax with it (and my depression got to me) and gained it all back. Cut carbs and gym time for 2 weeks, then introduce carbs and gym time back slowly. You're not supposed to work out at all during the first 2 weeks of Atkin's anyway. Maybe if I can lose some more weight, when I do start back at the gym my knee won't hurt so bad.
