Exersize can hurt

Ok dokey!
Did I tell everyone I went bacvk and joinede the gym?
yes I did! Oh goodie for me!
I've not worked out in over 2 years. I have gone walking in the past month. 4 times a week 1 to 2 miles at a time. steady but not brisk pace. Talking all the way with my friend Lauren.
Lauren has been trying to get the surgery without success buit thats another story.
Anywho with the dark coming quiker at night and it being cooler. i decided that I'd bite the bullet and spend the money on a membership.
I missed going to curves so muvh! I was a nut case aobut going 6 days a week back then.
I was terrified to start but I found agym that is nice not too busy at 7pm so I can go int and not feel like i am on display.
I felt wonderful!
iv'e been working on the treadmill for the past week. going at a brisk pace doing 30 minutes and coming in at 1.40 miles. I was happy with that this week is working with weights week with my trainer matt! oooo some nice young eye candy there! hehehe
but wednesday I strained a muscle in my knee. ouchy. nothing major. I have arthritis and have had it for many years since i was a young teenager. in fact one of the reasons for me wanting the stomach surgery was that they were talking about knee replacements. since3 i've lost the weight i've not needed them don't have any problems other than a ache now and then from them.
But I didn't stretch before or after my gym workout!
ok lets all say this together,....
I DID IT TO MYSELF~
Yet again i was stupid and just jumped on in my excitement to be working out again and hurt myself by not following the rules.
O yes I KNOW I'm suppose to stretch before and after OR I will get an INJURY!
so now I have an injury and can not use the treadmill.
argggggg

but i can still go to learn about the weight training! don't have to give up my lesson with the cute patootie!
I do have to take care of this knee and if it is not better than a doctor visit will be in the cards for me. i"m sure it will entale some nice physical therapy. maybe a stint in the pool therapy!!!! i love that! they used that on my back when I ruptured a disk 15 years ago it was wonderful.
thats it for me
so watch out for that excise stuff it can hurt!

I was just setting here reading this, thinking it would be hard for me to pull a muscle in this recliner!  Ha Ha!  Take care of yourself and don't try to do too much at one time.  Judy

hahaha Judy you are so funny! pulling amuscle in the recliner hahaha
I'm laying on my couch tonight with some nice warm towels on my kneed. i'm pretty sture I sprained it. the warmth makes it feel better.  I can walk after I put the warmth on it without it hurting.
I have to say this is not excrusioating pain. its liveable. I can move. I just need to baby it so it can heal.
I'm doing stretches with it caus that makes it feel good too.
I have a great doctor who says if it hurts dont' do it. gee who wouldna thought it huh? hahaha
i do not take pain meds i'm too afraid of wha tit can do to our tummys. i'm pretty rugged and can take alot more pain that i like to admit.
i do like to be babied. hahaha don't we all?
this weekend when I saw my guy i was talking about it hurting. at first he's like well you need to walk it out. He has a very athletic background plus the man attitude of be strong. I reminded him that I need to talk about it hurting. that i want sympathy not to be told what to do. just a few poor babies would be fine thank you very much!
once he realized that i wasn't looking for answers from him just some poor babies he was fine. he realizes that i do not use when i am hurting to get anything. he's got his own baggage left from his ex wife as i have from my ex husband.
as long as we can talk things out we'll do ok.
he loves my dog!
he tolerates the cats and he's talking the the birds. haahah my animals are my babies who i love and i thnk he is starting to realize if he wants me in his life he's going to have to get along with them cause i am not giving them up. they are family.
OMG look at me ramble on about this stuff hahaha
this weekend has been nice. i' menjoying a day off tomorrow with my daughter we are going shopping another favorite pass time of ours!

I think I've told you my husband is not an animal person, but he is nice to my cat now. Much more than her used to be.  Today we were going shopping and out to eat and I stopped and rubbed Penny on the head and was talking to her. He stopped and rubbed her too and told her we'd be back soon!  I had told him if we ever sell this house and move I'm going to have a fenced in back yard and have a dog or two and have a little room built on the back of the house with heating and air in it , for my dogs to live in!! Today he said what kind of a dog would I get I said I've always loved boxers, but really I love all dogs. He said he would like to have a German Shepard.  I told him at our age we need an  little old dog.
Jean carried her new puppy and had her spayed last week and she had to have a little spot on her eye lid fixed. She didn't tell she was taking her to vet till the day she went and picked her up. That afternoon she brought her to see me and let me know she had, had her surgery and was okay. Jean said that  Coco had laid around and selpt all day, but when she saw me she went crazy!!  She is having to wear thing on her head that looks like a lamp shade, so she won't scratch her eye.  She is so cute.  I got her up in my lap and she would try to kiss me in the face with that thing on her!!
Have a good week and take care!  Judy

O Judy thats so sweet!
My little dog Charlie had to have that cone thing on her head a couple of years ago she looked so cute in it. she hated it! Poor thing couldn't drink water cause she'd get the cone in it then to eat was such a mess! she was so happy when I got to take it off and throw it away!
