The Last 20 lbs Part 5

All great battles have their setbacks. The battle to lose my divorce weight is no different. I had been averaging a loss of 2 lbs a week. I was excited to do a little kickboxing because it’s an awesome total body workout and I love throwing punches at my trainer Scott.

I was doing strength training exercises, when Scott ordered me to jump up to the handle bars and do some pull ups. I laughed because I have no upper body strength. As I jumped up … $!#%!! I banged my knee into a protruding piece of steel. The cut wasn’t too bad, but the painful bruise to my knee cap had me seeing stars.

Scott administered first aid, with lots of ice, and said the good news was that giving my knee time to heal would finally force me to rest my shoulder.

A terrible pit fall, with so little time left to achieve my goal. But I refuse to give in.
