Doing Better
Today is the two-week mark since my fall. I still have bruising, and if I do too much, my knee swells up and throbs. So, I am still trying to watch my activity level. I am thinking I will take another week off my bike, which is hard because this is prime bike season. I got some K2 tape, which really, really helps. I can walk around pretty well. I have little muscle spasms when I have done too much. Ice still feels good. Last week and this week I have been doing core strengthening exercises. I can do plenty without using my knee. I would love to get back on my bike soon. I am hoping to set up the bike trainer this week, to see how it feels to use the knee for a few minutes at a time. In other news, I did lose 3 more pounds, so my eating is on track. Just proves that exercise is for health, and weight loss happens in the kitchen!

I don't know if my other comment made it through, so sorry if this is a double.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are feeling better, and congrats on loosing the 3 pounds. Your last sentence really encouraged me, "just proves the exercise is for health, and weight loss happens in the kitchen!". I had a friend say once, you can't loose weight just by eating less. And I thought, what?? If your portion sizes are smaller and you are eating healthy, I don't see how you can't loose something, even if you can't exercise. Your quote was very encouraging with that, thank youl
