Incremental Progress

Back at the gym today again. My knees still hurt, but I decided to try to exercise a little longer again this morning. I went 30 minutes on the recumbent bike at the same speed and resistance as yesterday, and 15 minutes of a slow walk on the treadmill before I decided to call it quits. I think I'll try to go a full hour tomorrow, take the weekend off and try back at full speed on Monday.

I found the pool today, too. I'll take my trunks to the gym sometime next week and check it out.

One thing I forgot to mention yesterday was that the dietician suggested I change my weekly weigh-in here at home to first thing in the morning. Weight updates will now be on Monday mornings (assuming I remember to weigh myself before heading off to the gym).
