So I had the opportunity to wake up this morning and have a nice long date with Shaun T and I did not take it. At the time I kept saying "do it, get it over with, dont put off what you can do right now" and I still did not do it. I figured hey I'll lay around and get a good workout in this evening. Right? Wrong.
I had a little accident and in the process I ended up facedown, on the floor, on my knees and in pain. All of my weight as I fell landed on my knees and I now have a new level of respect for athletes who deal with knee injuries. They are no joke. I was in a lot of pain for a minute and then slowly it faded. Or so I thought it did. Me being hard headed me, I got up and started walking ... .washed a few dishes ... yada yada yada. I even convinced myself that I could sneak a little walking in. WRONG! As soon as I went to get dressed in my exercise gear I noticed that my left knee was hella swollen. Bending it is out of the question. The bad thing is that last year I was in a car accident and it was my left knee that was affected. I dont want to aggravate it so that means no exercise for me tonight.
Normally I wouldnt be so bummed about not exercising but today is different. Had I known that I wouldnt be physically able to exercise, I wouldnt have laid up on my couch snacking on snickerdoodles. Yes they were yummy but they were also 300-400 calories that I now can not burn off :/ *kicks a table* It all sucks right now. I've learned my lesson though. When you have the time to exercise ... USE IT!
I just hope I'm ready for my 5:30 date with Shaun T tomorrow. *fingers crossed* Knee, PLEASE get better.
Another moral .... I should've taken my azz to church this morning :/
