Muscles, Mimosas, and Misery

I have been awful about posting lately.  Life happened which makes it hard to write more than just a quick line.  First, I thought I would take the time to give an update on my knee.  After being sick my for a week and a half my knee wasn't bothering me at all, probably because I laid in bed not moving.  I was also taking prednisone, which is a steroid that helps with inflammation.  I started back on a good exercise routine last week and didn't have too many problems with my knee.  All in all I think my knee is getting stronger and can handle more.  However, I finally over did it.  I upped the weight I used on my leg exercises on Sunday, and I was a little sore yesterday and today.  My knee was still a little on the sore side today, but nothing out of ordinary.  I decided to try and walk without my knee brace on, and now I'm paying the price.  The pain isn't unexpected.  My physical therapist warned me that this might happen....

This week I did not meet all my goals.  I tracked Lose It for 6 of the 7 days.  I only did 1 additional exercise.  I did however complete all leg exercises for the week.     I would say not too shabby over all.  All I can do is keep making goals and keep trying to meet them.  I think maybe this week I will add in a schedule.  Maybe it will help keep me on track for exercise.   Goals for the Week of 13 July 2015 Track Lose It! for 7 days straight. Complete 4 days of leg exercises. Complete 2 other exercises. Monday: x Tuesday: Leg, Other Wednesday: Leg Thursday: x Friday: Leg Saturday: Other Sunday: Leg  Ideally, I will complete all exercises immediately after work.  Except Wednesday when I complete them immediately after taking my cat to the vet.   This is my kitty that is going to the vet on Wednesday.  Her name is Demon.  It is a very fitting name for her.
