So sorry to hear about your knee. I know you have been working so hard with your personal trainer. Once something goes wrong with a body part, a professional, I think, needs to give you a list of exercises that are OK. Dont want to do more damage. The only exercise I did on my wt. loss journey was walking. I walked my butt off! (Not just a matter of speech). Sometimes even walking can be painful with knee problems. Take care. Will be checking in with you.  

Thanks Hoff! I am trying to behave and stick to low impact exercises and stretches. Hope you out today! 

Yet another cold rainy day. We finally turned the heat on yesterday for about an hour just to get the chill out of the house. It hasnt been too bad, the cold, until the rains came, then the chill. I know we have it made here in Fl. and I do count my blessings. Will you continue with a personal trainer or will you just do exercises suggested by your Dr.? Wish my grandmother was here with her homemade marigold ointment. That would fix you right up. Hurt my knee years ago in a college track and field class. Went home to her and out came magic in a jar. Couple of treatments and all was well. The old timers had to know how to fix things the natural way. She could also remove warts, a secret passed down through the generations in the hill of Tennessee. Sorry to say she passed before sharing the magic. Need to get my day started. Take it easy. 

Too bad we don't have more of the natural remedies and natural food choices...! I am not sure what to do about the personal trainer. Imthinkmhe would be understanding, but his company seems more interested in contracts and money. However, I could pay him to help my son's physique. I think I have more issues at work than my knee. Instead if a pity party, though, I am going to do some stretch band work. Have a great day!
