CRAP

My knee started bothering me a bit yesterday. It still is bothering me. Without my knee, I can't do ANYTHING!! Can't do Combat, Pump, Spin..........CRAP. So I have been icing like an eskimo, taking advil, don't know what else to do. It's just a tightness, really, a strange feeling like if I move the wrong way, it will hurt. I did do Combat tonight, think I did more than I did on Tuesday, but again, I was afraid that if I jumped the wrong way, it would cause pain. I was able to do the "shoot", which was what caused my butt pain, and it was okay on my knee. I came home, though, and could feel it tightening up. Then I started getting a bit of shooting pain up my thigh to my groin. Kinda like Alexander's injury. GREAT!!! So I iced, again, was only able to sit and rest for about 45 minutes tonight. Too much to do around the house.

Time for some positive thinking, imagining myself back in my classes on Sunday. I think I will take tomorrow off, maybe even Saturday even though I was looking forward to Spin. I will see how I feel. If it means taking 2 days off, so be it. I just know that 2 days off in a row makes me cranky.

Oh, I am 4 pounds up from last week. CRAP again. I know, the stupid scale, water retention, blah blah blah. Whatever. But it sucks. What helps is the compliments I keep getting from people. Helps me to know that it's okay for the scale to betray me, if I continue to look better than I used to. Even my regular Starbucks guy (this little kid, really) said to me when I stopped off after class tonight "Did you just go for a run?" like I look like a runner, or something. I told him I did a Combat class, and he said something to the effect, "Oh please don't kick my ass, I'll get your coffee right away!" LMAO. Youth.

Off to bed. Starting to ache and just need to sleep. Thank goodness tomorrow is Friday. Praying for a healthy knee tomorrow!
