As you may have guessed from the infrequent posts that I have been really busy at work and haven't made the time to blog. Good news, though...I am still soda and fast food free after 16 days. I have only lost a pound and a half, partly because of my lack of activity, and partly because I have been invited to taco night and have eaten my fill two weeks in a row. There have been some interesting changes though. I am sleeping a lot better, for one thing, both how quickly I fall asleep and the overall quality of sleep. I also no longer get the afternoon crazies where I have to have something sugar filled.
So my lack of activity is driven by my hip. I finally got in to see an orthopedist, and last week I had an MRI on the hip. The doc is looking to confirm or rule out femoral-acetabular impingement. If you look that up you'll see that it's no easy fix. I have a review this coming Friday to see that the MRI says. I've seen the images but other than knowing that I am looking at the femur and hip socket I have no idea what any of them mean. The fixes range from physical therapy to open-hip surgery.
As for the knew pain, my knee caps are not tracking right and my right knee is worse than the left. This is called patella femoral syndrome and is also known as "runner's knee." The prognosis here is much better. The root cause is generally overtraining and can be made worse by overpronation, from which I also suffer. The fix is generally just physical therapy and strengthening specific muscles.
That's it for now...I'll try to get more updates in this week.
