Feb. 08 - 2 hours heavy shoveling = 120 min. = 234 min.
(I usually minimize my shoveling minutes, but this truly was over 2 hours of constant muscle tensing, weight bearing, heavy breathing)

I am NOT happy about having to shovel so much, and that is is replacing my dvd workout time, but I AM happy that I am not sore afterwards!
Feb. 15 - Cardio Force dvd ,50 min.; shoveling, 20 min; 564 min.
Feb. 16 - Knocking back snowbanks, shoveling, 60 min.; 624 min.
Feb. 17 - light shoveling, knocking back snowbanks, 60 min; 684 min.
I am above my goal minutes but only because shoveling has replaced my designated workout time
I think I have runner's knee. It started hurting with jogging and now walking hurts. I jogged for about 10 minutes today and I pushed myself when I shouldn't have. I then used the elliptical which felt better. Right now I have my leg propped up and I'm icing my knee. I'll be using the elliptical for awhile now.
Leah take care of that knee! I went through he ll with mine a while back, it's so not worth it! Good your icing it. My story is different than yours, I started with foot tendonitis which became so painful, reinjured it and after 6 months of not being able to get around I decided to go swimming to try and exercise! OMG! My muscles were shot! I didn't have any quad or calf muscles and my knee got injured! I was on crutches for 2 months last summer and than it took me a whole month just to learn to walk again! I am so careful of my legs now. I agree, that if you see your knee hurt at alllll, lay off of what your doing. I had done some research awhile back into the elliptical, which is supposedly good for some knee conditions, not mine! IT flared up after! The therapist had me do the recumberment bike and that was ok for me but it varies from person to person and injury to injury of course. Feel better and please stay off of it until your recovered, I made the mistake of not doing that and I payed a hefty price. I wish you a speedy recovery!

Weekend Boater Yeah I pushed for about 5 minutes and then knew I had to stop before things would get really bad! I've been taking it easy. Today I did the elliptical at a level that felt comfortable on my knee. I'm still icing it anyways. I'll take it each day at a time and see. I had an old knee brace but it's a little too small so it won't stay in the right place.
Hi everyone, I hope you all had a nice weekend. Leah, hang in there! Wishing you a speedy recovery. I hope you feel better.

First time I have opened my computer since Thursday after a magical weekend with my oldest and best friends. My weight is up more than I thought possible as we ate and drank everything, whoops! However, we also did A LOT of walking, so at least I will achieve one challenge this month!!!!
