Saturday was the day it happened. I was working and twisted my knee. OUCH! I think I am hurt more mentally than physically. I was on a roll. I was finally walk-run-walk-running everyday. If I had down time I was out in the neighborhood exercising. I was beginning to think I had a chance to participate in next year’s Walt Disney World ½ Marathon. Guess not now.

Don’t get me wrong. I am still keeping my hopes up and planning on participating the next year in 2011. I am looking on the brighter side of things. It gives me more time to train and I will have less of a chance to embarrass myself.

So as I sit here with ice on my knee, I am trying to figure out ways to not let this interfere with my diet and exercising plans. I cannot do anything that has me on my feet for extended periods of time and my leg hurts too much to move, so I have decided to work on my upper body strength. I am doing as many arms lifts and circles with weights in hand. Up, down, up down. Phew. It is difficult to exercise when you are restricted with movement. But, hey, it is at least something.

Well, I gotta run (not really, but you know what I mean).

Happy dieting!
