Last Saturday Jan 7th I went with my marathon walking group... I was quite "down" that day. My knee was giving me issues and I tried to walk through the pain and I was incredibly emotional. Not really sure why but part of it I think is I don't feel as "welcome" this year. There are many new people in the group but they have all come with partners. The gal I used to walk with walks much faster than I do and she seems to be on a mission this year. So needless to say I was feeling a bit icky.. so if you look at the pictures you will find me walking very much alone. Believe me, it was for the safety of others. Here is the link
January 7th week 1
This week I haven't been able to walk as much - I wanted to walk with the local group that I started walking with last week but I have had too much other work to do and haven't been able to make it a priority.
I did however get to the pool Wednesday night for water aerobics. I felt good after the fact, even though my knee spoke up a bit during the work out. I just modified some of the exercises so it didn't aggravate it too much. Today I have felt like a truck ran over me - thank goodness for Aleve... its helped but I have the energy zapped out of me. Hopefully a good night sleep will help increase tomorrows energy level.
On a BRIGHT note I have lost weight 2 weeks in a row now which I am quite pleased about! First it was 2.7 then 0.7; not much the second time around but at least its still going in the right direction! Gotta keep up my tracking... amazing how that works!
tomorrow I plan to either use my stationary bike or do a walking Wii exercise DVD. Then on Saturday its another long walk. Supposed to be a beautiful day - no rain... I hope my knee holds out.
