OMG, I had NO idea the difference they would make. I feel like I could almost sprint (just teasing). The stairs that I have spent many years dreading because it was JUST HARD, I can master with ease. My PT told me when I first met her that I had something wrong with my knees the very first day I met her. WOW, was she ever right. They came in the mail yesterday and I put them on just to get used to them and I can not believe it. I may never take them off. I wore them at my work out today, and I was able to do more because I was working muscles instead of fighting my knees. Granted, now I won't be able to walk tomorrow because I'm certain every muscle in my body is going to hurt A LOT! But I'm getting stronger, and feeling good doing it, so I will survive. The hope would be as I lose more weight, I will be able to have less aches and pains.
On another note, today was weigh in day. I am down another 1.8 pounds. Not as much as last week, but muscles are growing so I'm not upset. I feel like I'm starting to get into my groove of the gym again which feels AMAZING!!! I don't know why I couldn't do it on my own. I wanted to, just couldn't make myself do it. Now, I am seeing my PT and doing as much cardio as I can fit in. I love it. I love the feeling of losing weight. I know that no one else can tell yet on the outside, I just feel it. I feel like I'm less "puffy" everywhere. Less like my body is bursting out of my skin. My face is where I am noticing it the most. Of course, the crummy part is the skin is less tight (when it's less "puffy") which means I see wrinkles, UGH, have I mentioned getting old sucks! I hope it will tighten as I go, we shall see. Wrinkle cream, here I come :):):)
Talk soon!
