We just celebrated 21 years up in the NC Mtns, and also GA Mtns on the border in and around Helen which is a little touristy but if you know what you are doing you can avoid most of it. We drank a lot and I have to say I wouldn't let my wife push us away at 10-11pm like we usually do, we were closing the bars down most nights and meeting some incredible locals everywhere we went.STEADYMOBBIN 22 said:
. and I hope you see the humor in that. 
I did this one again yesterday and am feeling it today, but I'm hoping this time for only two days of things like breathing being painful. Something I noticed that I didn't the first time, probably because I was curled up in a ball sobbing, was that at the end she says that "if you need more" you should redo the practice a second time. Oh OK.
Didn't try to lose any weight after the big losses the previous two weeks. Just maintained where I was. I'll probably continue that for the next few days before starting up again.
I've dealt with some knee issues from trying to run before so we'll see if that flares up again, but I'd love to gradually start jogging more if possible.
. Dinners were a mixed bag but nothing atrocious. My biggest slipup was on Saturday night when I had some edibles and ate a ton of pizza rolls and chocolate chip cookies. Whatcha gonna do though. Overall I'm already feeling significantly better, hope to keep this momentum going. 
Kind of hit a plateau.
Well I definitely jinxed this -- my left knee started screaming during this morning's walk (didn't even try running). Still finished the walk with my normal pace & mileage but I think I'm due for a day or two of rest. I was hoping to post some nice improvement over last week's numbers but I don't want this to get out of control. Looking into shoe inserts & knee braces right now to see what could help on future walks.At the end of today's walk I actually jogged for about a quarter mile.
Congrats K4 on, yawn, hitting your goal weight again. Jeez.I'm done, in terms of losing right now. I'm a little less than 2 pounds from the goal I set, but honestly I don't care and want to give myself a break. I've been on the bottom half of "normal" on the BMI chart for a while, and my desire to hit the lowest points of normal isn't necessary.
Doesn't mean I won't keep it up or check in here, but I'm good with where I am. I'll get down to that slightly "underweight" category in the next few weeks, but it's not important.
Still around to cheer everyone on and to post interesting Adriene videos where applicable.
When my knees hurt from exercise it's sometimes referred pain from my quads. It feels like my knee, and nothing i do to my knee makes it feel better, so I believe it, but it ends up being my weak quad muscle pulling wrong and all the tendony stuff doesn't work right. Either way it's not a bad idea to get some rest, but don't worry yourself sick that your knees are going if you aren't actually having problems with your knee.
awesome job as always and thank you for sharing the popsicle videoI'm done, in terms of losing right now. I'm a little less than 2 pounds from the goal I set, but honestly I don't care and want to give myself a break.

you're doing awesome dude

I'm thinking this might be part of the problem for me -- the pain is so on & off that major structural issues with the knee seem unlikely. With my rest day today I did some leg strengthening exercises and I think I'll just make those a normal part of my exercise routine. Hopefully that fixes things up.
Where is the pain in the knee and how does it feel?caustic said:
It's kind of like an ache deep within the knee, and that knee will also pop occasionally when I'm walking up the stairs. I went to the doctor for this a few years ago, and after doing some quick tests for meniscus & ACL injuries he chalked it up to overuse. He also suggested that strengthening my quads could help, and I've admittedly been slacking on that. The pain usually doesn't pop up until I'm doing some strenuous physical activity so it's easy to forget about.
No problem.
It's confounded me too, I've spent a lot of time reading about it and nothing quite matches what I have. I'm going to keep on trying different remedies and will hopefully stumble upon something that works.
This is similar to what I felt and it was my quads. It hurt when I did certai things like taking a stair weird or doing yoga. It hurt more going upstairs then down, and usually if I was going laterally or tried to fully straighten my leg. It wasn't totally predictable, but there were times I definitely expected it and I found myself adjusting my movement to accommodate it. Resting it helped, and then I found myself surprised when it didn't hurt when I expected it to. It lasted a long time and i thought it was my knee and I was just getting older, but I'm pleased to say I haven't felt it in a long time.
That's interesting, I used to think I was having severe knee problems when I was much heaver than present and I was still getting clicking in the knees as I was losing weight, last year I lost some more weight but thru walk/bike/tennis, my quads have gotten stronger, they definitely are not bigger, my legs look like toothpicks compared to some guys but they're solid and I don't have the same knee pain I used to. I'd like to get more muscle in my hips and thighs but I've not really committed to squats and that seems like a requirement.
Refresh my memory Kev, are you on the West/East Coast of Florida? I think where I am around Jupiter to Palm Beach, we get a nice breeze coming off the Atlantic many days, others it can feel like there is no breeze and it's quite stifling.
I'm in Austin, 200 miles from the Gulf. We get the humidity, but not the breezes. LOL.
People may have suggested this already to you but I would think about doing some daily stretching starting immediately when you wake up. Before you ever get out of bed, I would encourage you to do some knee bends or rather pull your knee up to your chest before you even roll out of bed. Get you muscles loose and relaxed so they can help and support your knee.No problem.
I didn't know you lived in Austin...I love Eastciders Blood Orange, so good.
