I have been walking on the treadmill this week. The knee is hurting, especially after 20 minutes or so. At this rate, I will never be able to complete a half marathon, much less a full. It's almost always on the inside of the kneecap where the pain is. Therapy is going well, Theresa keeps coming up with new exercises for me.
I know that I shouldn't complain, especially with what ML is going through. I'm just trying to get active again, the timing being for personal reasons. But she is literally fighting for her life. At least I have relatively good health. A knee is so minor compared to cancer.
We are going to Eddie's tonight, but I doubt I will dance. I just hope that I can stay OP with about 10 FPs since I haven't really earned any APs today. I will go do some exercises and that should earn a few.
On the weight loss front, I imploded last weekend and ate totally off plan all weekend. I was telling Mel and Donna about ML at La Familia last Friday night, and that made me decide to start on the margaritas... two margaritas, chips and queso, and a combination plate. All weekend was like that - french fries 3 days in a row. Another 3 pounds came back on this week. So on Monday, I committed to staying OP for the next 2 weeks. I'm doing pretty well. We went to dinner with Adam Wednesday and I did have a few more points than I planned, but I also wasn't planning on having dessert. But I still have 19 FPs today, so that is good.
One note: bread is still my downfall. We go to a restaurant that serves bread, and I'm all over it. Chips at Mexican food restaurants - I'm there. It doesn't matter if I eat something right before I go, I want the bread. I don't know what I'm going to do about that.
