Well, the job situation may have effected me more than I thought.
I have fallen back in my old habits, though not entirely. That combined with recent knee trouble has made things difficult for me to get things done.
I, however, am trying to get my mind back on track and my head back in the game.
The thing about failure is that it is not failure if you try to change...if you try to get back on top of things. If you try again after a mistake, even several, it is merely a trip, not a fall.
I am working on it, so I have that going for me.
As far as my knee trouble, it surfaced after becoming unemployed recently. I took a walk/jog to clear my head and get out of the house and it ended up being the start of some pretty bad pain. I have gone to a general practitioner, orthopedist, had an x-ray and MRI, and now I am going to physical therapy to get it under control in addition to a followup with my ortho.
We will see how things go. From what I can deduce from the results of the MRI is that I do have some bursitis (water on the knee) and some other issues with bone-on-bone grinding in the joint. Also, the options for healing range wildly from anti-inflammatories to surgery. One thing they mentioned is that losing weight would help with the problem. I think that may be the cause of the issue.
I am not going to step on a scale...I feel like that was a good idea for me before because the weight is the problem, but the numbers are just numbers. Focusing on every little change in weight, up or down, can get my mind focused on things that arent important. Weight loss will come, just focus on what I need to be doing.
So. Plans are to get back on track with eating, get going back to my meetings and get back in the game. From there, knee recovery will follow along with general health and outlook.
Back to it.
Keep on walkin'
