Bone on bone! Ouch. No wonder it hurts.
Do you have any idea what particular things make exercise hurt versus help? (I imagine anything that wrenches it is a no-go.) That's great that yesterday's exercise made it feel better, and also that you can focus more on lifting now. Strength and stabilization are pretty much always good things.
Come on Fitbit, do your stuff!
13k yesterday for me -- hit goal by the skin of my teeth, i.e. pacing my bedroom for 15 minutes before bed last night, reading a book and trying not to accidentally fall into the wall. :P My room is under the eaves and there's a limited path where you can walk upright in there, and if you're reading and not paying enough attention... you can pitch right into some plaster+lath, heh.
Well done on the 13k! :-) I sometimes would get so obsessed with rounding up I would walk laps around the kitchen, Dining room living room ,staircase and hallway more because of the Insurance discount because it only gives you the 1,000s. So if i was at like 9, 600 i didnt want to waist those 600 steps so would do whatever to get to 10k then. Anyhow now that I have reached Gold status while i should still do it I dont as much.
The Fitbit I spent 2 hours on yesterday. Was so irritated and had no clue what to do next. I googled and tried everything and its not that old maybe 6 months. So I kinda just came to the conclusion I would use the watch for the steps and manually write down everynite and just use the phone app for my insurance count. Well my DW last night went through it all and after an hour and a half she got it figured out. I removed app on phone and reinstalled I mean I thought I did everything via Fitbit on google. Well the one thing I didnt do which sounds like common sense was to actually re-sync the watch itself with the phone. I thought I was doing that but was missing a step so long story short it works now!!
I do know what exercises work and did them for 15 minutes again yesterday after working out. When I had my surgerys scheduled originally my knees were so bad it was affecting my hips so my surgeons assistant gave me some exercise to do and thats when most of the pain went away and with my son transferring college and being stressfull I cancelled my surgery.
So 3/29 I did 90 minutes on the Elliptical, 30 Minutes walking the track, 15 minutes weights and 15 minutes stretch and walked out of Y with 15k steps and ended day with 17,395. I would of ended up with more than by my DW was messing with my watch for as I said an hour and a half. Anyhow not sure as usual what I will do today but doing something.
