Problems already

So, the very day I started this blog, I twisted my knee. Again. Not while running or walking, but while dancing.

See, I had this brilliant idea that since I hadn't walked that day that I should do something to burn some calories, so I hooked up the iPod to the stereo and started boogieing.

I felt it go, but I kept going for the full 40 minutes anyway. You should have seen me trying to get out of bed the next morning. I work with 80 year old women who move better than I did that day.

So, this week was a wash. I did lose 1.6 pounds, but didn't make any gains in the exercise department.

My knee seems to be sufficiently healed to start walking again. I have been able to work pain free for three days now, so I'm good to go.

Lesson learned? Not every workout is productive. Until I'm in better shape, I plan to stick to goal specific workouts and some gentle yoga.
