Guest guest Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 hola, y'all, i joined this board about a year ago and started my first BFL challenge. i was feeling fabulous following the BFL plan, and had decided to try to introduce new cardio fun to my life, including more challenging ice skating lessons. (i've always known how to skate, but i wanted to learn jumps and such.) suffice to say, i fell on the ice and ended up with a torn PCL (not a typo) and torn meniscus. (newsflash -- you don't bounce as well in your 40s as you might in your 20s ;-)so much for the challenge; time for the " rebuild your knee and quads challenge. " skwigg had done something similar just a few months before, and i found her blog to be incredibly helpful -- i know it aided my recovery. anyway, i am back. and i am starting on wednesday. i am remembering how wonderful i felt eating clean and working out. i have a ton of weight to lose -- i was on steroids a year ago for this little matter of my platelets going away mysteriously. but right now, i am focusing on eating right and feeling good. oh, and training for a 5k. my 9 year old ran her first 5k in december as part of this terrific " girls on the run " program which encourages elementary school aged girls to be active and to build their self esteem. i couldn't run with her -- i had just gotten the go-ahead to begin training, but i was not there yet. (don't laugh!!) so i want to rehab enough to be there come the next race in the spring. i'm looking forward to learning a lot from you! best, ~sher http://www.wrekehavoc.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
