So yesterday I didn’t get to go outside because it was raining. Boo. But I tried to work out indoors, but I realized how weak my knees are! A couple years ago, I was walking my dog and thinking he was doing his business, I wasn’t paying attention and all of a sudden, I found myself on the ground. He had surprised me and started bolting down the street making me fall down. So naturally, I fell on my knees and bruised them pretty bad. Now I don’t know if there is something wrong with them now because of that accident, but I know that they don’t feel the same as they did before that. So when I kneel down, it just doesn’t feel right. So when I popped in this Yoga DVD I had, I was struggling with the first few minutes. I had to turn it off and I was wondering if this knee condition is just all in my head.
So, feeling like working out still, but wanting to do something less intense, I decided to do some Wii Fit, and I felt bad because the last time I did Wii Fit was over 200+ days ago! I decided to reset my stats and start over. Wii Fit is fun, but it just doesn’t make me feel like I did a good workout. So I guess technically, I didn’t really do anything grand yesterday as far as working out goes.
I will be doing some kind of cardio today though! Since the temperature had gone down here a bit, I plan to go outside for some kind of light jog. Working out indoors is getting kind of boring!

Sorry about the knees. I have got a 10 yr old son who loves his video games. I’m thinking that I’ll get him the wii fit, kind of kill 2 birds with 1 stone
