Week four started off great. Went out running (pushed myself and went in spurts of 90 second running, then walking instead of 60 sec. of running). However... the pain in my knee and upper leg area persisted... After talking to my mom, we decided not to really push it and to see what would happen if I were to go on the elliptical.
Which never happened, but that's a story for later.
Tuesday was good as well... I went to the gym and pushed myself on the weights. I need to find someone to work out with me in the mornings, because I feel like I want to bench press... but I don't have anyone to spot me... Therefore I'm cautious. And if I'm cautious, then I won't push myself. You get the point. Anyway, I worked out my upper body and stuff, and that was all good.
Wednesday I didn't go... for some reason. I can't quite remember... I think I had some like bullshit reason that I had to let my knee rest. Thursday and Friday I was super busy with DePauw Discourse stuff (we had Yo-Yo Ma come and give a bunch of lectures and masterclasses! That is a blog post in and of itself... to come soon).
Total pounds lost: 0. At least I haven't gained any, right?
I am going to be making more of an effort to work out - even with my super busy week ahead. Two exams and a presentation - let's gooooo!
