MIA

Well gang I have been MIA for a while. busy with work and school. Just to update everyone, I am still on track but have had a little set back. On my journey to a healthy me, I had a little set back with my exercise routine. I selected curves as my gym because it had been such a long time since I had exercised and I wanted to start out slow, I lost 12.5 inches my first month and was so excited in my progress, I think I became a little obsessed with my progress and was attending the gym 4-5 times a week, well 2 weeks ago I went to work on a Friday like always and wham............... I started walking across the hospital campus and my knee went out, I tore my lateral meniscus, The past few weeks have been a serious bump in the road, no exercise and I am on crutches. I have to do 3 weeks of PT and than they will decide if I need surgery. I have no stability in the knee and with out the brace and crutches I end up on the floor. I have really been worried that I would gain weight and have obsessed over my calorie intake. I decided not to have my band tightened because I was exercising and maintaining my intake to the 1000-1200 calorie range. I had just finally gotten to the point I enjoyed eating again and not getting stuck. I monitor my calories on myfitnesspal.com but the not exercise is driving me nuts. I am stuck, still weighing in at 177. Hope everyone is doing good.

So sorry to hear this, I hope everything goes well and you heal quickly. I know when I do not exercise I feel the same way. I guess it is good that are minds change and we are able to embrace our new life's. Good luck

sorry to hear about the injury. We PT's are a good bunch, if you let them know that you do not want to lose the progress you made with weight loss, and that you want to continue to loose. The PT should be able to help you set up an exercise program that will allow you to still work out even with a brace on.

Thanks for the encouragement, I will talk to the PT on Wednesday, I am hoping that I can develop a new program that will allow me to continue to work out. Today has been a bad day on my feet a lot and the knee just buckels unexpectedly. Hoping the PT will build up the other muscles and stabilize the knee, if not I am ready for surgery (I think) A nurse with a bum leg does not work very well.

Oh, I have not been on here in such a long time I missed this blog about your mishap. I am so sorry but don't give up. Remember you do have your band and your band is your tool to use so use it and try not to gain any weight. You have been doing so good. I have been so busy this summer and now the fall is even worse but I will stop by once in a while to check on you.
