Taking a Knee

I'm taking a knee today. Taking the day off. I'm still doing my thing, but only with calorie counting. Yes, I count. I track every morsel that passes my lips, and every ounce of anything but water, which isn't much since I drink water all day with the exception of one cup of coffee in the morning. I'm taking the day off from exercise today though. I didn't want to, but...

Here comes the excuses, or as my husband would say "You know what I'm hearing, don't you?" It's true though, sometimes there are just days when you have to give an excuse and take it. I fell a week and a half ago, and landed right on my left knee. It's been stiff and achy ever since. I've been working through it though, and I would have today, but yesterday I also sprained my right ankle. It hurt like crazy, could hardly walk last night and still this morning. It is getting better though, thankfully. I can walk normally now. But I want to go to the health club tomorrow and swim, so I want to be able to walk. So, I'm taking the day off and babying my ankle and knee.



It's true that the whole healthy lifestyle thing, especially during the weight loss, getting fit process can involve some pain, a lot of dedication, and tons of willpower at times, and it is all worth it. However, some days you have to know when to take a knee (pun intended. lol).
