I am hitting my first slump

I have been religiously tracking my calories, proteins, carbs, and weight for the entire month of January, but the last couple of days I have wanted to eat more than I am allowed. I took a couple of days off from working out too. I scraped the skin off the back of my left hand (not all of it, just a patch about an inch square) and I was told by Doc Doyle to stay out of the pool for a few days until it heals over. I have been on the stationary bike instead, but I need some variety. I can't run yet because of my knee. I am beginning to wonder if it will ever get back to normal. I still limp on it, although I consciously try not to. People at work tell me every day that I am still limping. Like I don't know myself.
Ah, well. I don't mind a couple of lazy and overindulgent days. I think it's actually good for the system. Shakes things up a little. I let myself have a free day once a week, usually on Saturday. I guess this week I will have two and they will be on Wednesday and Thursday.

By the way, Jennifer and Rebecca are trying to talk Cathy into applying for The Biggest Loser show. They almost have her convinced.

hey dad, if you want to do the tri's this year as a team I'll do the running if you want to bike and swim. Let me know. That way if your knee won't let you do it, you'll still be able to participate.
