[...] I know that I excel at weight loss in the summer, but winter is the worst. I keep hoping that if I can get into a routine of doing just a little something every day, my weight will drop like before. Dance parties, yoga, kinect fitness, walks, etc. Something has to work. I may even try to get back into light kickboxing (my favorite workout!) once my knees feel a bit better. Oh, and on that note, I’m going to finally try to call an actual specialist and see if they can’t help me with pain management for my knees at least since they refuse to give me surgery on them because of my age. Last I had heard, I had torn bilateral cartilage and fluid retention on my knee. I was given steroid injections, I did a month of physical therapy, and had a zillion x-rays done. They said there is no cushioning where my knee bone and leg bone meet which is causing the majority of my pain (bone on bone) but basically they told me after that… “There’s nothing we can do because you’re so young. We can’t do surgery and the therapy didn’t help.” I even did the electroshock therapy on my legs! (photos here.) [...]
