Jillian Michaels:
The doc says knee surgery
Send a check, okay?
Seriously, my right knee feels like spaghetti. PAINFUL spaghetti. I was afraid I was going to end up shredding something, dammit.

About Me
- rockygrace
- I was born in 1962; you do the math. (See also: I'm too lazy to remember to update this thing regularly.) I bought my first house in the summer of 2009; I share it with four cats and with the memories of The Runt and Little Girl, who both passed away in 2011. Rocky, the cat for whom this blog was named, passed away in 2008; I miss them all. I wish I lived somewhere where the winters weren't eight months long; other than that, life is good.

Ow. What a way to spend the weekend. Surgery, seriously? I'm so sorry to hear that.
Naw .... I didn't actually go to the doc. Yet. But that knee sure does hurt.
Then stop shredding. This is a time to let the joints override the brain in the decision-making process. I have been trying to convince John (my husband) that maybe that 42-mile week he put in last week has something to do with him hobbling around the house like Walter Brennan this week AND MAYBE HE SHOULD DO A LITTLE LESS but he seems unable to process what his body is telling him.
But ..... but ..... how am I going to shape up if I can't exercise?
I tried doing the workout without the knee-pounding stuff, and it just seemed really too easy.
What to do?
Resistance bands? Different workout tape? (I have a pilates dvd that I can send you, but you'd have to get a dvd player.) Get in the water? Walk real fast?
As my mom says (and I hate it when she's right), you don't get out of shape in a month and you're not going to get back in shape in a month. Steady progress that you can sustain is better than going like hell and hurting yourself and then having to quit altogether.Take that for what it's worth -- I'm not a paragon of workout virtue, so I don't have any standing to preach the gospel of fitness.
Bridgett, I did tape some FitTV yesterday - a core workout and a flexibility workout - both of which look easier on the knees. Thanks for the good advice!
p.s. - I do have a DVD player, just not a DVR, so if I want to record something, it's back to the good ol' VCR. I'm not a total luddite. :)
You need to 1) stop hurting yourself! 2) go to a less intense workout for a while, till your knee heals up.
But then again, who am I to talk? I haven't exersised since last year!
