It's been a while since I've done an update...
Last week was a rough one. I had a stomach bug for a few days and the worst headache I have ever felt in my life. I had to get a CT scan of my head to be sure I didn't have an aneurysm. Talk about scary!!!! Luckily, it came back normal (I guess I do have a brain in there!).
I will say that my weight went up again; however, when I went shopping for some new clothes, I am down 1 size so I was pretty ecstatic.
Hoping to get some more exercise in this month than last month. I have a goal of starting the Couch to 5K by the end of this month.
Only 4 months and 5 days til the race...and that time is going so fast!
Thanks again for all of the encouragement! It means a great deal to me!
Things just keep getting worse in my quest to do the Jingle Jungle 5K in November...last week I was riding my bike, feeling pretty good, until I got off and my left knee felt weird. I started walking on it and it just swelled to the size of a grapefruit. Luckily I work in a doctor's office so I was able to be seen quickly. Doc said that it was strained and to not do any 'knee-intensive' workouts for a week and put me on prednisone. Yesterday, I was walking and heard a pop in my knee and it gave out. Not good! I now am waiting to have an MRI to see if I tore anything. I'm so discouraged right now. I wanted to start the C25K next week, and right now, I can barely walk on it.
I DID IT!!!!! I finished the Jingle Jungle 5K this past Saturday and what a feeling!!!! I am so thankful to those of you that posted on here and were such a great support system for me these past few months. Your words of encouragement meant more than you all will probably ever know. My knees held up pretty well, with the help of some KT tape and the steroid shots I got in them the week before the trip.
Can't wait to go back and do the Star Wars Dark Side 5K in 2017!
Thank you again for the support! You guys are AWESOME!!!!
