Derailed
OK, I'll be the first to admit it when I'm a moron, so right now I'll make that statement. I'm a moron. My whole exercise regime had a giant monkey wrench thrown in it from my own stupidity. I don't want to go into detail because I'm really embarrassed about it all, but lets just say I re-injured my knee. Not as bad as I did a month or so ago, but still bad enough that I'm limping around again. I had to burn another sick day to go back to the doctor and get x-rays taken. No MRI needed as, like I said, its not that bad, just bad enough. The doctor gave me a shot of cortisone/novacaine and drained the fluid out of the joint (mostly looked like blood to me) and sent me on my merry way, with a followup appointment in two weeks time.
So I can't exercise, which is a shame because I was making such good progress, but I'm not going to let this get me down. I'm going to stick with the diet and hope that at least I'll be able to maintain a bit. I kind of pigged out a bit last Friday when I had off and spent the day at my parents house. Definitely paid the price the next time I stepped on a scale, so if I can just erase that from eating right, I'll get back on the elliptical when my knee will permit me.
Mostly I'm just pissed at myself for doing something so stupid and hurting myself. Lets just say I knew that said activity was a really dumb thing to do and that there was a great chance for personal injury, but I decided to give it a shot anyway. Lets just say I learned that lesson the hard way. That will be the first and last time I do something like that ever again. If you want details of just how stupid I am, leave a comment and I'll tell you, I just don't want to say it here, as I haven't told my parents, brother or co-workers just how I hurt myself again, just my roommates, especially since one of them was present at the time of injury.
Alright, back to relaxing and icing my knee.
