Freakin’ knee injury is back
yup, guess it never did heal quite right. Along with some swelling I now have some weird feeling on the outer part of my knee. No real pain just like something’s not right. Sooooo…..it totally screwed my leg workout today! Tried to do some single leg extensions with just #30. Not happening. Had to drop it to #20 and even then I had to be real careful to angle my leg the right way as to not overwork the inside part of my knee.
This sucks…. Oh well, it could be worse; I could have a total debilitating injury and be on crutches. THAT would really suck! I’m trying to get back into the diet thing following vacation. I actually maintained on vacation but put on a couple of lbs since being back home. I attribute it to the easy access to junkfood here vs where I was.
I’m in total disbelief everytime I walk into a Krogers and look at all the totally useless food they carry on their shelves. Next time you grocery shop, just check out other people’s carts. No wonder we are one of the fattest countries. I’ve looked into grocery carts with kids hanging on the sides and just think to myself, "they (parents), should be locked up for feeding that crap to their children". Seriously. Oh well, its called job security to everyone in the fitness/health world. Yeah, thank you mommies for feeding your kids absolute crap so that they can seek me out later in life to help them understand why they are so fat and unhealthy! Enough rant for one day.

I recently began experiencing random knee pain for the first time in my life which I think is probably just runner’s knee but I don’t want to push it. The problem is that I have been trying to lose weight for the last 2 months and have been incorporating a lot of cardio. Do you have any advice on what cardio and how much I can continue to do without injuring my knee further? I have been doing about 1 hour of cardio 6 days a week. Any help you can give me would be appreciated. Thanks.

Well, without knowing what your injury is I can’t really say how much cardio you should or should not do. I’ll tell you what my PT told me, if it doesn’t hurt go for it! If it hurts don’t do it.
You might want to have it checked out though. years ago I had some nagging knee injuries; found out I had a tear in a tendon near the knee. better safe than sorry.

I totally loved this particular blog because I see myself reflecting within it.
I too am experiencing some knee stuff that has recently come back to haunt me. After 4 years of very little pain, I’m back to the way I was the FIRST time I had to do PT.
Good luck with it.
Also, not long ago I went shopping at a totally horrible super Wal-Mart. It was terrible because it was swarming with children that were out on summer break and following their poor, tired mommies around.
As I peered into a few carts, I couldn’t help but notice allllll that junk. Flavored, colorful sugar water seemed to be the most-used. Then, candy cereals to add sugar to milk, came in second. The third place award went to snacks like cookies from boxes and/or the deli.
Don’t get me wrong… kids have awesome metabolisms, but ALL of that stuff in ONE cart really made me wonder.
That’s all. Keep up the hard work and good posts!
