Ok, last night Lisa brought something to my attention. I told her my knee was really acting up. She felt it and said that I could have injured something something, I have no idea what it was. She's taking anatomy classes at the college, gearing up for her nursing courses. Anyway, she said that if it is injured, me doing 6 miles everyday would possibly worsen it. Now it doesn't take a genius to believe that it IS a possibility for that to happen. So yeah, needless to say I was kinda scared. My right knee hasn't really been right since Chama. I think those steep slopes really did me in. I remember climbing up those steep slopes and my knee cracking with every step up that I took. My midway thru the week, my knee was feeling pretty worn out and sore. Anyway, because of that I only did 3 miles today. I'm thinking of just cutting my walks to 3 miles and doing some knee exercises and try to build up strength in my knee again. Lisa suggested that. I think that's a good idea. I'm going to wear a knee brace and only do 3 miles per day, but I wanna make up for the other 3 miles so I'm going to do daily DDPyoga and/or a Bowflex workout, then constantly lift weights. I really wanna push my workouts into the next level and start really getting more out of it. I've lost plenty of weigh with the walks/runs I've been doing everyday since April 28th, now it's time for other things. So, that's my plan. I wanna start venturing into other parts of exercise. I've never kept up a constant DDPyoga workout. Being as how my knee is not too hot, that would actually be great for me. Zero impact on your joints AND you're working your entire body! I remember doing DDPyoga for about a month when I first bought it and I could feel the flexibility in my body starting to come to and I could feel the weight loss. So yup, I'm totally looking forward to that!
Halloween is approaching. Lots to do concerning my Halloween Festival at my church. That's really going to take off after Sunday. So much to do! Lisa and I had a talk about some plans we're going to make for Christmas also. She's going to put in a request for time off the week before the 25th and we're gonna probably go out of town and do some shopping, or maybe just travel somewhere we've never been around the holidays. That would be so fun! We shall see but it definitely is exciting!
Ok well there's not much else for me to say right now. I'm going to relax a bit, then hit the sheets. I'm pretty tired and my knee could definitely use some rest. Goodnight!
