Back on track yesterday. Got my little walk up to the preschool in during the afternoon, and then forced myself to go out on the treadmill last night.
I’ve noticed that my heart rate isn’t going up much with my walking on the treadmill at the speed I’m doing, but my shins and knees start to hurt if I increase the speed. And I don’t want to damage myself and not be able to do any of it, so I’m staying at the slower speed. But then the heart rate is not increasing, so is it doing any good for weight loss? It is barely going in to “Fat Burn” heart rate, let alone “Cardio” heart rate – which three weeks ago it was going into.
By the time I finished my walk on the treadmill last night, my knee was killing me. I started poking at the ass/hip/glute/thigh area on that leg, and the pain in the muscle was bad, so I think the knee pain might be coming from there. I know the physio’s have always said that my muscles are very tight. It was so sore coming in, I could barely lift that leg up. I did a bit of my physio exercises when I came in, and some stretching and some pressure pointing with a tennis ball too, and it eased up a bit.
I woke up this morning very stiff and sore, but hoping that it is going to get better. I walked up the preschool again this afternoon, and was a little early so passed it and added a little bit to the walk (it’s a beautiful bright fresh day out there so it was lovely!), but my knee started hurting me again to put pressure on it. I’m very worried about my body and trying to do this exercise and weight loss the right way, and strengthen my body and not end up hurting myself and being out of action.
