#FitReaders Check-In

  • This check-in is for February 5th – 11th.
  • I didn’t meet any of my goals this week, so I’ll be trying for an average of 6K steps per day again.
  • I start my new full-time job on Tuesday, so I’ll have some adjusting to do to figure out how and when I can workout during the week.  It’s been awhile since I’ve had a regular full-time schedule, but hopefully having that sort of normal work week will allow me to get some regular exercise.

  • Even with rest, the pain in my knee spread to my hip, which means this is more than just a minor setback.  The problem with ITBS is that I can’t just jump right back into what I was doing once the pain goes away.  I’m doing my physical therapy exercises and light yoga for now. I’m also restarting my walking program from the beginning (averaging 1K steps per day), and rebuilding the progress I made over the past year.  With any luck, I’ll be back to trying to get 9K steps a day within a couple of months.
