Regaining my Health

I was talking with my husband last night, and we both made the decision to jump back into fitness.  The challenge will be especially difficult for me right now because of my knees, but I think its doable.  I'm going to use Lose It! to track my food and calories.  I have actually been doing this for a few weeks but I have been pretty inconsistent.  I have also found some seated arm and core exercises I can alternate with.  I also will be doing my physical therapy strengthening for my legs.  Depending on how my knee feels, I may try swimming some this week, but that fully depends on how much my knee hurts.
My "Before" picture.  

Now, to make my progress measurable I will set some goals.  I'm starting with goals being fairly easy to reach.
1) Do physical therapy exercises 4 times this week. (Sunday 6/28-Saturday 7/3)
2) Do core or arm exercises 3 times this week
3) Track with Lose It! for all 7 days.

I'm sure everyone knows what Fitbit is and the line of fitness products they offer.  ( www.fitbit.com )  Through a health program at work, I received a free one about 6 months ago.  Unfortunately, I lost it after a short time.  Then I started having knee problems so I never purchased a new one....

Bipolar Owl

I'm out of town this weekend so I didn't have much time to find what I wanted to post about.  I think my next big post is going to be about the stigma of taking medication, so for this Saturday enjoy a meme about bipolar meds.
