#50 ....OMG!!!....... GONE FOREVER!!!!!!
Well today was a monumental day. Despite the ongoing knee pain that we
are working on and a bladder infection I came out of the doctors office a happy woman. I have officially lost #50 pounds. 410 to exactly 360 in a bit over 5 weeks!!!! Im estatic to say the least. I lost 7 of it in the last 8 days. Gawd I feel good even in pain!!!!!!!! The doc told me people who keeping walking with arthritis do better in the long run rather than not walking on it. I ahve continued to walk despite to horrific pain. I toough it out during the day and take a Vicodin to sleep as I am all over the bed at night without narcotics. I told him I hired a personal trainer and he released me for exercise on March 14th. I told him I was going to do weights and resistance training. He said a good thing to do for the kneee is try to build up my quads and do some free weights with my feet down by ankle. I'm not sure what he was talking about there but the guy I hired will. He said something about it takes the weight off the knee but strengthens the leg. He also suggested using 2 walking sticks like I am cross country sking when I am out walking. It helps your weight not to shift so bad and is good exercise for the upper body. He said he uses them all the time. One of the orthopods hikes into the mountains here and swears by 2 walking stricks too. Anyway, no real bad news. Life is good!!!!!!
