Who would've thunk it? haha.
Since I've had those troubles with my knee, I really haven't gone to the gym at all. At all, at all. I pretty much end up doing nothing but sitting around all day because my knee hurts so much, but I kept eating what I'm supposed to and stayed under my calorie intake (a bit harder for some of the other things I monitor on MFP, but that's another story) and tried to rest my knee as much as possible.
I weighed myself almost two weeks ago, and it was before Memorial Day and before my knee started to give me hell, and then both of those things happened and I was afraid to weigh myself for fear of what it might say. I put it off until this morning, but I figured that it's been a while and I guess curiosity got the best of me and thankfully it did because I finally saw a number in the 170's!! It's been probably over a year since I saw a number like that and I'm so excited about it! I'm going out of town this weekend (well, early weekend haha) I'd like to be able to maintain what I've got going for the 2 days I'll be out, and I probably will considering how psyched I am about this!!
Just let this be yet another reminder as to how important what you eat is to weight-loss. Yes, exercise is important to tone your body and make it look even better, but it definitely goes hand-in-hand with what you eat. So don't let not being able to go to the gym put you down! Keep up the great work and you will reap the benefits!!
:D
