It’s has been so long since I’ve written here. Longer than I would have liked. So let me catch you up.

I mentioned in my last post that I would continue working out as much as my knees could handle. Unfortunately, as soon as I published that entry an old enemy sneaked up on me and caused my workouts to halt. I suffer from the residual injuries of having been an athlete in my younger years. I played various sports including, basketball, volleyball, and softball, all of which are very hard on the knees. In my junior year of high school I suffered Patellar dislocation in which my kneecap was pushed to the side. For years it would pop in and out of position and caused me to give up on my dream of making it to the [W]NBA. I also shattered my other kneecap about a year later and had to have fragments removed. Needless to say, the added weight has not helped my knees one bit. And so, after a pretty decent workout in May, I hurt my knee so badly that even sitting was painful. No surgery needed, but was required to stop with the cardio/aerobic exercises until my knees were no longer swollen. {Read the whole entry here}
