    I get it @brandi. There have been others on this thread that did the same a couple of years back. Don't feel guilty.

    Hey gang

    I like myself unconditionally!

    Happy Humpday! 4 clients this morning and 4 tonight. So I didn't mention it last week, but on Friday I got another assessment on my knee because it just didn't feel "right" to me in the healing process. Sports doc recommended me to get another MRI but with the latest one (GE 3T) and new software. I did that on Saturday. Got the news yesterday that I DO have a meniscus tear and a 3rd degree sprain to my PCL. So Monday I go in for evaluation on how it's to be repaired by surgery. Ugh.

    Cardio: bike riding- 30 minutes (150 calories)

    Strength: shoulder- military presses, side laterals, bent over rear laterals, front laterals. 4x12,10,8,6

    Assessment: Taco Bell last night.

    @ninerbuff, I'm so sorry about the knee. Hope it all happens quickly and you recover nicely!

    Happy Hump Day everyone...........not around much right now because of the upcoming wedding.....two more days! I'll be back around by Sunday and back to the gym soon. Burning lots of calories running around like a crazy lady though!

    Hey gang

    I like myself unconditionally!

    Happy Tuesday! 4 clients this morning then 2 tonight. Well the good news is that ortho wants to hold off on surgery. Based on my MRI, the most serious issue is my MCL (which almost detached) which is likely the reason for my knee not feeling right. He said he could be aggressive and surgically repair the menicus, but that won't solve the recovery that my MCL needs. So he wants me to heal up another 2 months and then reassess from there. So more rehab time I guess. Based on the MRI, an injury like this to an athlete would put them out for the season. So I guess 8 weeks was just enough to get it to feel somewhat normal again. See what happens in another 8 weeks.

    Cardio: bike riding- 30 (150 calories)

    Strength: chest- incline bench, dumbell flat bench, machine flyes, dips. 4x12,10,8,6

    Assessment: Pork chops.

    @ninerbuff, I guess that's good news. Sorry the recovery is taking so long. It makes sense to avoid surgery if at all possible I think.

    It sure felt good being back in the gym this morning. Still having shoulder issues which is impairing the kind of workouts I want to do but I'm still getting upper body in. Two and a half more weeks of therapy for me and then back to my ortho. I'm not terribly encouraged with how things are going so I guess we'll see what he has to say on the 22nd.

    Cardio: 15 min run....slightly over 1.25 miles.

    Strength: 20 min calisthenics warmup including good mornings, goblet squats, physio ball pikes and bridges, planks, decline situps/scissors/leg lifts, back extensions, stairmaster. 15 min shoulder rehab. 40 min strength training including leg press <single leg warmup 1X12 @130 lbs, 1X10 @180 lbs, dbl leg 1X12 @310 lbs, 1X10 @400 lbs, 1X8 @450 lbs and 1X8 @470 lbs>, back squats <1X8 @45 lbs, 1X5 @65 lbs, 2X5 @85 lbs>, 3X8 shrugs @95 lbs, 3X8 single arm bench row w/30 lbs, 3X10 hip thrusts w/55 lbs, 3X10 wood chops w/27 lbs and 3X10 stepups.

    Assessment: We've finally gotten rid of or frozen the rest of the party food so back to our normal fare!

    @luluinca- just a quick note. If you do anything with presses, try keep your elbows in. It may hit the triceps a bit more, but it should alleviate any pain issues in your shoulders.

    Since I'm not allowed to swim yet I've been trying to improve my running this year. It's been a slow process for me because of a few stops and starts from 2 colds, and being so busy with the wedding, but I feel like I'm getting there!

    Cardio: Ran 1.85 miles of the 3.3 miles the dog and I were out either walking or running this morning. She's become an expert running partner and of course loves it but wishes I would go a little faster.....LOL

    Assessment: Planning a light day and weekend to make up for some over indulgences this last week or so.

    Have a great weekend!
