Muddled through 6 on the elliptical then 3 on the bike. Lots of stretching!!
So there was a lady that got on the elliptical in front of me. I have seen her many times at the gym. She is probably in her mid 50's, pretty goos shape. The thing I noticed today was that I'm pretty sure she had skin colored hose/tights on! I could not imagine wearing hose to workout in, I don't even wear them with my dresses in the summer! I'm sure she thought they made her legs look better but holy cow that had to be uncomfortable.
Last two night I have not slept very well, I'm really feeling it now. |

I have two doctor appointments today. 1) with the knee doc. I'm hoping I can have him get me some PT so I can get over this last hump. I think I have gotten my knee as far as I can on my own and maybe some PT will help get it even better. 2) NP doc... this is the appointment I'm need more but also am more worried about. She had me read a book on a new appoarch to dealing with my Hashimoto's, it makes alot of since and I have now been gluten free and sugar free for about 2 weeks now, but I'm still not feeling great and I'm just concerned/angry and at the end of my rope! Really hoping that things will start changing soon!
On a side not to this gluten free thing. I have been struggling to find some good bread alturnatives. Out of the three loaves of bread I have purchased there was only one that me and my daughter could eat. The others tasted like styrofoam. Looks like this weekend I will be experimenting with making my own, wish me luck.
Hoping to make it to the gym after all my appointments - Updates to come :) |

5 miles on the elliptical with a couple of hard/fast/steep intervals mixed in. Then chest, back and leg weights. The one mile run on the indoor track. All in all felt pretty good.
So as you can see I didn't get to the gym after all my appointments yesterday... and how did they go you ask? Well I still pretty much hate the knee surgen, I'm sure he is very good at what is does, but because I'm not a top rated collegent runner, or someone who performs at that level, and also because I'm over 40, I feel that he dose not want to help me at all. He basically told me that I can deal with things the way they are, until they get worse and then he will see me to replace my knee. I told him, "I don't think you will ever see me again." So I left there feel very angry! What an A## H*%# !! Then I went to my NP doc, still very frustrated with my health, she was much better at dealing with me, but I told her, if things don't get feeling better soon just get me a gun! Yes I was being dramatic, but I guess I really wanted her to know, things need to change. We decided to add some new meds, change some dosing of others, hope that the dietary changes I have been making will start helping soon, and then I will get my blood drawn in a few weeks and see what has happened. Soooo frustrating!!! But I'm hopful that things are turing around, with my running and my health, I have to be positive with things... that is at least 90% of the battle. |
