What am I getting myself into?

I'm not quite sure why I decided to start blogging, but i'm hoping it keeps me from getting antsy while I attempt to recover. My plan is to start doing this on a day to day basis, but who knows if I will actually keep up with it.

I figure that I will blog about my recovery/failure to recover instead of posting on facebook. This way, if you come to the blog site you are reading it on your on volition. Nice guy right?

Anyway, i attempted to do some light biking yesterday as well as some light hip/core stuff. My knee got a little stiff and sore throughout the day, and i decided that biking was no longer a good idea. The problem is that I have to avoid exercises that compress my patella up against the front of my femur. This is difficult to do because pretty much any exercise is going to do this.

So I'm back here at square one for about the 30th time in 10 long months. I have noticed that i'm capable of doing some brisk walking without irritating it (My ortho believes that this is the best thing for me right now), so i'm going to try to get myself into a routine of walking one to two times per day as well as start back up with core, flexiblity and upper body lifting.

I don't know about anyone else, but i find that any sort of workout routine at all keeps me eating properly. I also find that if i'm unable to exercise, I lose all motivation to eat properly. You would almost think it would be the opposite, but not for me. We'll see what tomorrow brings...
