Exercise Adventures

 Exercise and me have had a difficult time lately.  It feels great to lift weights and to get some cardio in but my knees don't like me when I do.  See, I have torn meniscus in both knees and arthritis.  It hurts to do too much.  I can walk a lot slower than I would like, but cannot run.  The elliptical is great but I don't have one and since Covid, no gym to visit to get on one.  Not sure if I can bike, it is about the bend in the leg/knee that hurts.  I can do some lifting but then have to go ice my knee.  I have definitely gotten out of shape and feel a bit depressed when I think about that too.  So, you ask why not get surgery?  I have met with a surgeon and was told I am not a good candidate so I just continue on my way.  I have begun to walk, albeit slowly, on the treadmill the last week or so a couple times.  I am going to continue with that going forward.  I know losing some weight would help me in many ways!
