{DL} Always something to work....

I had great intentions.

The weather was beautiful & calling me to just be outside.

I sent a text to a friend & asked if she wanted to go walking.  I mean, I know I'm in trouble with my knee & thought walking is a good option - running it out, but talking with a friend who is so great at distracting me with great conversations is what I needed.

& then I stopped at the bank on the way home...

& came across the parking lot & it was like my knee raised the white flag...

Exactly how my knee did

I literally stood in the middle of where the cars were driving & gasped with pain.

Something didn't feel right.

I basically had to limp in a Hunchback fashion to get to my car.

I got home & wrapped up my knee & then text my friend back to let her know that walking wasn't even an option.


Knee:


But I had to work out... I've learned about myself that if I don't work out, I panic.

That may be the definition of addiction - but that's ok when it comes to healthy things - right? ...that could be a whole other post.

So I decided to put in my video that concentrates on core...

10.21.15:


Abs don't require knees - right?

Actually, some parts of it did - It required being on hands & knees & I just doubled up a towel & put under my bad knee.  It's like that soft spot on the knee is the worst pain.  Yep - this is new.

& I didn't stay in that position long.

I'm not going to push it.

But I did get to workout ... my abs anyways... I'll take what I can get for now.

Stupid knee.

    PS what does DL mean in your post title? In my world DL means Disneyland....lol

  3. I hope the knee is better soon! Definitely let it get the rest it needs. The worst thing would be to exacerbate whatever is causing the pain.

  4. Oh girl, I am so sorry your knee seems to be getting worse. I wonder what a couple days off it completely would do, do you have crutches? Maybe a couple days off, could let the inflammation go down so the pain isn't so bad.
    Your a trooper though trying to do a workout even if it wasn't your workout of choice!
    I went for a walk yesterday, and my tendon issues didn't even let me get a mile before I realized it would be smarter for me to turn around, for some reason this flare up it's seriously not cooperating and I am sick of it! In other words, I totally feel your pain of not being able to do what you want to be doing:(

  5. Ugh, I hate that for you! I'm glad you were smart about it though, and didn't push it. Glad you were still able to get a workout in!

  7. I get the need to work out! I'm the lady frantically pool running and cycling because she can't run on her foot. Which leads me to ask...do you have a pool nearby?
