Sidelined
Dec 10, 2010
Last friday I was sidelined from my normal routine. I developed bursitis in my knee and I tweaked a muscle in my back which in turn was pinching my sciatic nerve. I got muscle relaxers and anti-inflammatory gel, and was told to take it easy.With the temps here in the low teens, taking it easy was really easy. I just stayed in the house and didn't exercise at all.
The scale didn't like this one bit. It decided that I should be shown what happens when I don't go for my daily walks. It added a pound.
I was horrified. But didn't let it get me down.
Today is a new day and I started back up on my walking. After being gone for a week, I was surprised to see how easily I could just pick it back up at the same pace. I even decided to jog for a bit - maybe not my smartest move, but it got my heart rate up and it was something different. I didn't jog for long, but I was proud of myself.
And the scale this morning showed a loss which is always nice!
