50 lbs Down & 50 to Go!

It is so frustrating not to be able to exercise especially during a break in my dieting, but I know that if I try to resume my regular exercise routine now my knee will not heal and that will set back my weight loss program even further. I should not have started jogging. It is too much stress on my knees. What I have learned from this experience is that a moderate exercise routine of at least 45 minutes a day is crucial to maintaining weight loss.

I tried to continue my exercise program by biking on my new Trek Bike but I banged the same knee that I sprained across the crossbar so now I have a bruised and sprained knee.

Oh god you poor thing!!! Have you gone to the hospital? its better to rest that knee, no more exercising for you for a while. I hope the knee rebounds soon. Take care of yourself!!:):)

My knee is not that bad. In fact I started walking again today for 50 minutes and I am dieting again even though it is my break week because I put on a couple of pounds while I wasn't exercising but I expect to be at no gain by the end of this week and now I am super motivated for 2 more 4 week rotations.

:sifone:

When are you going to weigh in again?

Probably not until Sunday when I have started on my 1200/1500 rotation again. The freedom of my break from dieting ends Saturday. Then I will get motivated about weight loss again. My knee is almost 100% again.

Do you still think you can lose another 50 in 8 weeks?

All I know is that I am VERY MOTIVATED to go ahead and get another 50 lbs. off ASAP. It is possible I can do it in 8 weeks and probable I can do it in less than 12 weeks.
 
Swam for about 30 minutes last night and walked for about 40 minutes this morning. Knee feels pretty good.
