Nifty Title
Alright.. It’s been a couple days. I had a nifty title I was going to put on this that fit my update, but now through lots of distraction, I’ve forgotten it.
My knee is doing loads better, but being active the last couple days have completely destroyed my progress. I’m back to hotpads as often as possible, and last night my ankle decided to swell up. All the tendons are taught and swollen still as well. I’m waiting for the day I can dance a jig again!!!
Let me tell you…. I havn’t injured myself in so long that I didn’t realize how poor my body was doing. And now that I’m having trouble getting around, I’m increasingly aware of how fat I am and how poorly I move even when I’m NOT injured. I need to lose weight, no doubt about it. I don’t want to do the typical for the new year like everyone else though… The “lose weight is my New Years resolution” thing. I just want to start fresh.
SO. As of January 1st, I will be eating better, moving around more, getting a gym membership, and not drinking caffeine. The caffeine idea came from a Dr. Oz episode on Oprah, where he discussed hyperhidrosis and how caffeine attributes to it. I never knew caffeine would make my hands sweat more!! So, I see a couple good things out of this…. One is I won’t be drinking much soda anymore. I know there are a couple types of caffeine-free sodas out there, but I honestly don’t like them. And Chocolate has caffeine in it to, so I won’t be eating much candy anymore either. It’s all together a wise choice on my part for my health. I’m looking forward to getting healthy, and I’m looking forward to looking better for Joe as well.
