Good start to today (Sunday). It’s 9am and I’ve walked 2 miles, drunk 2 bottles of water, gotten in 2/3 of my Fiber and 50% of my Protein. Pain level today only between 4-5, so none the worse for wear from yesterday’s six miles. Hoping to accomplish that again today, even though church will occupy 3 hours of my time. Gotta get ready now. It will be a challenge to get in 4 miles from 12:30 til 5pm. (I only walk one mile at a time, and then ice for 30 minutes). I’ll keep ya posted!

You are doing great. If it was me I wouldn't know how much pain the doctor was talking about when he said to let pain be your guide. I wouldn't know if I was helping my knee or hurting it by pushing through the pain. When I broke my back (T11) 10 years ago, the doctor said to not push through the pain. You set such high goals how can you know what's best for your body?

snowwhite100, if I didn't walk and do my PT exercises when I'm in pain, I wouldn't be able to do any of it at all. The trick is determining how MUCH pain is ok and how much is too much. Most days, I wake up with a #5 on the Pain Scale. That's even with no PT for several days. One day last week, it was only a #3. Another day it was #7 (that day I only walked 1.1 mile and didn't do any PT!) It's just a guessing game. For me, pain above a #5 means I need to take it easier that day. Thank you, Morticia!

Finished the day with 6 miles walked, five 16-oz bottles of water drunk, 29g Fiber, almost 107g of Protein. Tomorrow will be harder, because I also plan to do my PT exercises. I take Sundays off, and days when I actually GO to PT, but my last appointment is this Tuesday. Since I missed one appointment, they might let me go one more day the following week. Then, I’m on my own, and that’s when the real battle begins! My husband didn’t eat the last piece of Cherry Cobbler I saved for him two days ago, because he’s been sick. So, I helped him out by finishing it off today. (I also made him an Apple Cobbler, because he’s feeling better this afternoon.) Still managed to keep my calories under 1,800 today, Praise the Lord. For the past 7 weeks, my lowest daily average has been 1,982, and my highest was last week at almost 2,500 a day! So, even 1,800 is an improvement!

Ooops! Just realized that I forgot to eat dinner. Today in the low 1,500’s now, and I’m almost ready for bed.
