knee pain

Yesterday I had my first for 3 synthetic visceral fluid injections in my knee.  I am not going to lie, it hurt.  It did go a lot faster then I thought it would though.  He injected a numbing medication and I figured he would have to inject that and come back and do the gel injection but he did it all at the same time.  I kept having to remind myself not to jerk my knee back.  I get to go back and do this again once a week for 2 more weeks.  Good times.  My knee hurts worse now then it did before I went in.  It feels stiff and kind of like it needs to pop.

I haven't really discussed my weight in awhile.  I am still at 122.2.  My initial goal weight was 120-125, when I got closer to that weight I changed it to 118.  I am only 5'3" so the doctor had no problem with that.  Apparently my body does because I am at my lowest and have been for several weeks.  I have gone up with some minor binges but I always come back to 122.2.  I wear a size 2/4 so I really can't complain but it would be nice to see something below 120. 

Not sure what I am going to do for workouts this week.  I am restricted for the next three weeks to low impact, until I get this series of injections done.  I could have gone to the pool and aqua jogged yesterday but I was being a big baby.  I may just take this week off.  I have to be careful though because I will get really depressed after my running season is over.  I have a half marathon in October and one in November but it seems so far out. I just need to keep my level of fitness up, 13 miles is so easy now compared to how it used to be, I don't want it to feel hard again.  Kind of rough to run in the summer for me though.  I hope aqua jogging really helps.

I am having some problems eating.  I know I am fine restriction wise because I ate a cupcake two weeks ago, but probably stress and anxiety has got my band tighter then normal.  We went to eat last night and I got the little chicken tacos on a corn tortilla.  I could barely finish one and they were small.  I felt like I was going to be sick for the first time since the cupcake.  Looks like it will be a soup day for me.  Soup is always safe.  I would give my big toe for some Chili's enchillada soup.  Probably have to settle for taco bueno soup from drive through though since it is close to work.  Some days I wish I could just eat like a normal person, but I would not trade my band for anything.
