So, after a week and a half of resting my knee it is not strong enough to start working out again. [No more basketball for a while... Not just for my knee's sake, but also due to the cold weather.] Yesterday was the first day back in the swing of things. I made it through the 40 minute cardio workout without pain, but was admittedly sluggish. I also restarted my diet yesterday, which I broke over some gummy bears and licorice. Even with the candy, I think I did good on my caloric intake, unfortunately, this week's diet is supposed to be no-carbs [candy has a lot of carbs], so I fell short in that regard on day one.
But today is a new day. I have no gummy bears or licorice to eat today. I slept in and had a late start to the day, but I plan to hit up my workout as soon as my afternoon-time salad has a good hour or so to digest.
Here's to a new week.
