    What a bad start to the week! Monday I tried to do some circuit training and utterly blew out my right knee. Tuesday I was in bed with a stomach flu (and an ice pack and heating pad on my knee). Today is Wednesday, and I got some swimming in, but my knee is really still too sore. I was supposed to join a running class today, but I don't want to injure myself further, as I'm just now beginning to walk without a huge limp. Sadness!
    Week 3:
    Weigh In--278.4 (boo)
    9.19.11 Monday: 337 calories circuit training.
    9.20.11 Tuesday: 0 calories barfing. (can I count that as abs?)
    9.21.11 Wednesday: 842 Calories swimming
