Tamar Cohl Gluten Free Fit Guru

Well, it took long enough (at least I thought it did).  I kinda got "spoken to" by my wonderful orthopedic surgeon two weeks ago.  I was supposed to be working on my ROM and was being bad.  Physical therapy was actually KILLING ME, but I was going.   I would NOT bend it when I got home though or do my exercises.  Well, 15 days after my surgery, I went to Sarasota to see my Doctor and he told me that everything I was feeling was NORMAL, but I had to start bending (flexing) my knee or I was not going to get the ROM back.  He scared me into it!  LOL  That night I went to the gym and did a 45 minute spinning bike session (killed me, but I did it).  Then I had my awesome friend, Brittney aka Brittness, help me out.  She has this innate skill…something that most people do not have.  She can almost SENSE where pain is occurring in the body and she knows how to help relieve it.  She actually helped me achieve full ROM that day.  It hurt like hell, but I did it.  After that, physical therapy got easier.  A couple days later I went to Ocala to visit my mom and dad for Father’s Day.  They have a beautiful pool and swam almost every day.  I just kicked and kicked.  It was great for really loosening up my knee.  I also went to the gym while up there and worked out (lightly).  Now I have been back home for over a week and have been to the gym 6 out of the past 7 days.  I have been released to resume a normal gym routine, except I still have to avoid squats and anything that is "HEAVY".  I have to keep my reps to 15-25 so the weight will be lighter.  Actually that does not bother me right now cause I want to reshape my legs.  I am trying to work them 3 days a week as well.  I am working on my glutes pretty hard core cause I really need to get my booty FIRM again.  LOL I totally turned into jello over the past two months, so I am excited that I can train again!  I will keep you all posted and will take some photos soon!  xoxo Tamar

Well, I thought I was getting better, but my knee is KILLING me these past two days!  Today marks one week and I thought for sure that I would be doing better than what I am!  It is still swollen, too! 

Anyway, i am going to the Dr. tomorrow, so hopefully I can figure some things out.  I feel like I am getting FAT!  I just ate a jar of F’in Peanut Butter tonight.  White chocolate wonderful is the flavor…it is GLUTEN FREE and is is incredible, but for crying out loud I ate the whole jar and I have not exercised in over one week!

If I do not get to go back to the gym here soon, I think I am going to go insane…for real!!!!  I may just go running outside….naw…cannot do that cause I can hardly f’in walk.  Oh well….pray for me…I can hardly fit in my clothes…my skin looks like crap and I am in PAIN still!    Not to mention I am bitching all the time on here.  LOL  I want to write a HAPPY BLOG….I want to be able to say that I have been hired by BB.com to work the booth at the Olympia or something.  LOL  I want some GOOD NEWS darn it!!!!  Talk to you all soon!  xoxo Tamar
