Injuries suck! After about 6 weeks since I first injured my knee it feels about as bad as it ever has. I thought at one point that it was getting better, but clearly it is not. I have been going to physiotherapy for about a month but I don’t think it is helping much. I am beginning to think that I might be headed towards a surgery, but hesitant to actually get that diagnosis. I can bike with no issues at all but the running just kills me. I had come so far with my running and I feel like I am going to slip big time with this injury.
I have been maintaining my weight for the most part. I have had lots of travel recently which has made eating more difficult. So in reality maintaining where I am is a victory. I am currently at 172.2 lbs, with a goal to get to 165. These last 8-10 lbs will be very difficult to achieve.
On to the pushup program, I am into week #4 of the program. The other day it had me do 160 push-ups, crazy, crazy, crazy. But guess what, I did it! Still not sure I will get to the 100 straight push-ups, which is the purpose of this program. I will just keep plugging along.
So Christmas is coming up quickly. With two teenage kids there is a good chance that I will be broke at the end of the remaining 4 weeks. Everything is so expensive, especially the electronics that all teens apparently require to survive. I guess I can’t complain as I am a gadget guy myself. Does everyone have a plan for how to avoid the food temptations over Christmas? It will be a difficult time.
Stay healthy everyone….

Injuries.....
Well I thought I was over the hump with my knee issue, I was wrong. I ran a little to hard last week and I definitely felt it. It seems like this nagging injury will just not go away. I know deep down that I should just stop running for a couple weeks, let it really heal, but I can't bring myself to do that. I could of course just substitute extra bike workouts to make up for the lack of running but I like the variety. I will take it day to day I guess.
This weekend is another University visit for Brittany. She seems to have her mind set on going to Waterloo, but is still visiting some of the open houses at the others. I think the applications are due by the end of November so time is running out to make a final decision.
Brandon is currently in a video game induced trance. You see, he got a copy of Call of Duty - Black Ops on Tuesday night. It is the new rage in terms of video games, I may have to try it myself this weekend if time permits.
The weight loss continues, which is a good thing. I am trying to add more protein and less carbs to my diet. I want to see what effect that will have on the rate of loss. The 100 push up program continues to kill me each time I do it. Last night the sets were 25-20-15-15-25. Yes, that is 100 of them! The final set of 25 was pure torture. This is only week #3!!!! I still can't imagine doing 100 in a row, but time will tell. I never thought I would lose 70 lbs either!!!!

Another Goal Weight Reached
So I reached yet another goal weight last Monday. I am now 0.6 lbs below that goal. I elected to reset my goal for the last time. I now have 9.4 lbs to go. It will take me some time to lose those final pounds, but good things come to those who keep at it right?
I have also continued to work on the 100 pushup program. It has been really tough as I don't like doing pushups. It is a three times a week program designed at getting me up to100 pushups straight in 6 weeks. I am at 83 at this point, but trust me, it hurts big time.
Brittany and Jackie spent dome time this weekend at the University of Waterloo open house. It was time well spent in that she really narrowed down her program choices. She is looking at a pure math degree now, with a B. Ed after that possibly. She also settled on a residence. She fell in love with the St. Jerome residence, and smaller class sizes. Of course, this seems to be the most expensive option.
Did I mention that working for a living sucks??
