I was feeling really good about the 3 miles I put in on the exercise bike yesterday so I hopped on again today and set the resistance to Workout #4 - a thirty minute routine that goes up and down hills.  By the time I’d finished, I’d clocked almost six miles - so I kept on pedaling away until I passed up the six-mile point.  I had a couple sore moments while I was still on the bike and one ouchie moment when I was walking around afterwards, but other than those minor instances, my knee has felt fine, fine, fine.  I’m so happy about that!

I did consider pulling out the “real” bike and taking it for a spin but I didn’t wanna push it.  Obviously I hurt something the last time we rode and I want to make sure that the injury is healed before testing it out again.  I need that knee — badly.

Amazingly, I ate my way through Florida and managed to come back almost a pound lighter, woohooo!  We ate at Cracker Barrel, Carraba’s, KFC, and Olive Garden and the food totally rocked!  One day I went over but not WAY over (1843) and another day I was so busy I barely ate at all (864).  I was hoping to come home to a loss and I was not disappointed this morning when I weighed myself and saw a number in the 270’s again. 

 NOW if I could just STAY there!  Jeesh, this rollercoasting thing is drivin’ me nuts.

 Tonight husband and son and I went out and son and I split a cannoli for dessert.  OMG how decadent!  Even with the treat I ended up at 1551 calories for the day so it was okay — and so, so worth it, LOL.  When I looked it up to see how fattening that treat was I was happy that we’d split it though!

BEST NEWS:  I rode the exercise bike today for three miles… and my knee did not hurt AT ALL, at least not any more than it hurt before.  Woooohoooo I’m healing, I just HAVE to be!  I am SO praying that my knee will heal on its own and I can ride my REAL bike again!  Soon!!!

Happy to be home.
