I made a promise to myself this was the year I would get my body back together. Yes, I have said this before. Yes, I have broken those promises to myself.
No more.
After two knee surgeries, one on each knee, I have realized how much easier my life would be if I could just shed 30 pounds and take that pressure off my knee caps. This is not an overnight process, but one I am officially committed to as each year gets harder to do the things i love (ride bikes, hike, play sports, etc.) and I cannot afford to delay this goal any longer. The.Time.Is.Now.
First step - acupuncture. I have had my fill of Western doctors and simply cannot take any more steroids to reduce the pain (yes, even after surgery, I still have pain). I am turning to the Eastern way of thought and allowing someone to stick 15 needles in and around my knee in the hopes of redirecting the energy to heal myself - in a more natural sense. And you know what? Two sessions in...and I am a believer.
Whether this is purely psychological or actually reworking my energy, I can't say for sure...but I am hooked...and I will keep trying until I no longer feel the effects. And if nothing else, at least it is forcing me to shave my legs at least once a week as I feel bad when he has to comb the hair aside to make room for a pin. So that is a postive...right?
