Working out is the epitome of an oxymoron. Think about it, you put yourself in a lot of pain, so that you can feel better. Or, you can say that you exhaust yourself so that you have more energy. Who thought of this??? Oh yeah, it's like a natural law or something. . . I'm thinking law of the harvest, you reap what you sow type thing.
So, if you're a couch potato you will eventually look like a potato.
Okay, this posting has gone waaaaaay off topic.
I actually got on tonight to talk about my knee . . . I don't know where it all went wrong. Anyway, I went to my ward's Relief Society Gathering night (because it's not Enrichment anymore . . .) and we had a dance class. It was a good, light cardio with some conditioning. It was fun to see all us white girls trying to do hip hop. Man I am WHITE!!
Well, earlier in the day my knee was hurting - which is not totally unusual as I hurt my knee about 10 years ago. I decided to go anyway, because I wanted to work out and this would be a nice change up from my usual. Well . . . now I can't really put a lot of weight on it. I iced it for about an hour when I got home and it does feel better, so I'm hoping that sleep will heal the rest.
This is a problem that has often plagued my weight loss attempts. I get really good at working out regularly just to have my knee, back, foot, arm, etc, go out on me to the point that I can't do much. I want to be fit, but it doesn't make sense to hurt myself in the process. So, no working out for me until my knee feels better. Hopefully, that will be tomorrow. In the meantime, I watch what I eat and ice the knee.
