Ok I've decided I am tired of looking and feeling like I do and its time to change that. I am researching different nutrition methods and am going to be watching my portions and how much I do eat. A lot of my diet will be water. That will help flush my system and keep me hydrated.
So my knees are killing me. They hurt all the time, and if I don't do something to cure this tendonitis its only going to get worse. So for the next 3 weeks I'll be doing my stretches both at night before bed and in the morning before I work out. Its going to be a low key work out though. I have this "Belly Blasters" DVD by Denise Austin and a "Pilates for weight loss" that are both on the floor off my knees but get my heart rate up. I will be wearing a brace, I need to find mine. I have 3 but they all seem to get lost. I will also be taking anti-Inflamatory medicine and icing my knees.
Then after 3 weeks I will have to analyze how I feel and if I can add weights to my ankles and wrists and start running on the elipical at night. Which if that is what I do end up doing that will continue for another 3 weeks and then I will be re-evaluating again.
I started my stretching tonight. I stretched with the towel 10 sec 10 reps each leg. Then I tried touching my toes 10 sec 10 reps legs together. Then I put a towel under my knee and lifted using my thigh 30 reps each leg. Then I laid down with one knee bent and the other lifting from the floor to bring the thighs together 30 reps each leg. Finally I laid on my side top leg crossed foot on floor and lifted the bottom leg 30 reps each leg. My knees alreaddy feel better after one session. I'm looking forward to what it feels like after 3 weeks.
I also measured my middle. I'm at 36" right now and I'm not positive what I weigh at this point.
