My left knee or one of the ligaments is badly sprained. Thought I could keep going with it, and it's pretty much done. I've ordered a brace off Amazon, and for now, it's limited walking around the house and very carefully navigating stairs. At this point, I am going to half to very carefully count calories and try to eat under plan to see any loss. I'm going to see what seated workouts I can do to get my heart rate up. This is so frustrating though.

So excited for your continued weight loss, @kebass01 ! I'm glad you enjoyed your day out.

@SofaKween You've got this. Just lie to yourself that you only need to do 15 minutes and hopefully that will get you working out and through an entire routine for the day. Usually once I get started, I find the motivation to keep going. I hope the package arrives early.

@kellyswimmer Congrats on sticking with it over the weekend! Happy for you!

@Plasicage So glad you had a wonderful vacation - welcome back! May the coffee be plentiful for you today. ☕☕☕

Thanks so much for the kind words, @SofaKween ! And congrats on powering through!

The uptick is from Mother's Day. This will go down. I have very light meals planned for the next several days, and managed 40 minutes of seated cardio yesterday (Mostly arms, and modified doing seated knee lifts instead of kicks, which is gentle enough for me) -- so there is a way around the knee issue. I'm not letting this sideline me.

@Plasicage I agree, I'll have to be very specific with food choices. I did well well yesterday (despite that weight number above). I'm going to still try to keep going, just with modified movement workouts.

Have a good Tuesday, everyone!

Not going to lie, the seated workouts are good. I've modified them so I'm doing knee lifts instead of kicks, etc -- both my thighs and my core are sore after a couple of days of doing these! And I'm finding new ones to mix into the routine. Who knows, maybe I'll continue with this even once my knee is better. I was also able to schedule an appt with a specialist for a couple of weeks from now for my knees/left leg. So hopefully I'll get some help there.

@kellyswimmer I don't know if there's a way to have less wine instead of none, or trade it for something else in the day?

@Plasicage Glad you're back on track!

Happy Wednesday, all!

@SofaKween Thanks for asking. I can walk on it, I just can't climb the stairs with it, or pivot on it. Not knowing if it's a muscle or a ligament, I'm trying not to walk too much on it if I don't have to, to let it heal. I was able to schedule an appt with an Orthopedist, so they'll be able to figure out what's going on, and set me in the right direction.

@kebass01 You're doing great. You're right, it's a LOT more fun putting the weight on, than taking it off. But you're getting there. Keep in mind also that the number on the scale can still be higher than you want, but inches off the waist, etc, will still happen and make clothes feel/look better. You've got this!
