Well, if you follow along, you will know that I have been nursing a hurt knee. Peeps, let me tell you, I endured 4 days of active pitocin-induced labor. I didn’t have an epidural until day 3 (then had a c-section.) I am not a wuss.
But my swollen knee that hurts to put weight on it is scary to me. I’ve never had knee problems. Ever. So in the meantime, since I haven’t been able to work out as much as I want to, I’ve been doing sets of floor/ab work. (Crunches, twists, “bench pressing” the baby…etc.)
And I’ve been icing my knee. Lots. Thus far (1 week in) I have lost 2 lbs.
Have you ever had to deal with an injury that kept you from working out? How did you work around your limitations?
2 pounds is awesome! Great job! Especially with an injured knee, that’s really impressive. I only lost .6 this week…because pizza. But less is less, right? I don’t remember if you said you have new shoes on the way, but you should definitely go to a running store and get fitted and get solid shoes that are perfect for you, I know for me that consistently makes the difference between running and limping
Keep it up!
Have you been able to get into the dr to make sure nothing too bad happened to it?
2 lbs is GREAT!!! I hope your knee gets better soon!
Thanks for linking up with us!

So sorry about your knee! I have had injuries before that kept me from working out… i would just keep eating right & stay off it for a bit! Don’t want to injure it more! I know it sucks though! Congrats on 2 pounds. That is awesome!
