    I am recovering from a knee injury, so I am having a hard time finding cardio workouts that don't cause pain. I used to run and do zumba, but am not able to anymore. It been really discouraging to not be healing better after 3 mo. If you have any ideas (besides swimming) of a good cardio workout, I'd love to hear it!

    -I had two or three cheat days last week and only gymmed twice. Its a miracle I didn't gain. This week will be much better :)

    Question of the week: What's your favorite healthy and quick lunch? Vegan pizza. I buy it at Trader Joe's and it's already made up, just needs to be heated up. But there's no additives and everything is organic, so it's as healthy as can be! And only takes ten minutes in the oven!

    What's your workout schedule look like this week? Goal: get to the gym three times, instead of last week's two. (Baby steps. I have a really hectic work schedule.)
