Overcoming obstacles.



So, I did the Jimmy Fund Walk a little over a month ago and since I did it my knee has been bothering me. I’ve let it go and had the mind set of “If I can run through it, it’s not that bad” or “If I can ignore it, it isn’t really there”. Well unfortunately it’s only gotten worse, with last week’s 3 days of couch 2 5k it seems to have irritated it even more.  It was so bad this morning I couldn’t even walk on the treadmill, I tried running and barely got to 45 seconds before I just had to stop. I was so disappointed. I still did a small work out (abs and some stretching to try and help my knee), but it wasn’t nearly as good and I barely have 4k steps as of this afternoon. I broke down and made an appointment to see my doctor because nothing I have been doing is helping, plus I’m taking Ibuprofen every day to try and alleviate some of the pain and I know that can’t be good. Fingers crossed that it is just a simple fix.  
So for now I’ll have to focus on the eating better aspect of this more, if I can’t exercise it still doesn’t mean I can’t lose weight. It also doesn’t give me an excuse to not try and get as many steps in. I may not get to 10k, but I will get as close as possible!  Today has been good so far, I had my skinnytaste soup, grapes and cheese. Tonight we’re having Linguine with sausage and roasted peppers (Skinnytaste as well!). So hopefully if I can continue to manage this, I can still lose this week. 

Just another step in this lovely adventure of mine.
