vivalasvegans Posted February 15, 2010 Author Share Posted February 15, 2010 Well thank you. I took your advice and ate some more chocolate last night. Great minds think alike! I can't really believe how yummy pink lady apples are. They taste kind of pineappley to me... i wonder if they have special digestive enzymes and anti-inflammatory properties like pineapple too? Sunday I caught myself smiling and laughing for the first time in a couple weeks after I rode about 10 miles, i haven't felt right in so long, it felt pretty good. ~25 mile ride... really opened up a couple times Gym:back/tris/abs (3 heavy fast rounds) ran out of time foot hurts. Food:coffee/soyRIDE <<< larabar2 scoop protein, orange, cofee, coco smoothieGYMbuilder bar, 5 chocolate almondstomatoes and alot of saltchopped brocoli, tomato, 300 cal fake turkey, lunabarapple, chocolatebuilder bar there may have been another lunabar in there somewhere.

lobsteriffic Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 I only like walnuts in things like brownies. But then I'm not sure if it's the walnuts I like, or if brownie goodness just overpowers walnut badness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vegan Joe Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I only like walnuts in things like brownies. But then I'm not sure if it's the walnuts I like, or if brownie goodness just overpowers walnut badness.Walnuts and bananas are the best. Maybe every other day for break at work I'll put a few walnut pieces in my mouth and take a bite of a banana, and munch 'em. Great tasting combo.Sorry for the hijack VV.

vivalasvegans Posted February 25, 2010 Author Share Posted February 25, 2010 Thanks. The knee is weird. I think it might be the old injury kicking up. Last night I had to back off the weight on the abduction machine because of the way my knee hit the pad, and I skipped weighted hypers, it hurts to straighten my leg. it seemed fine in the morning, i think squatting might have irritated it. on the way home it hurt to clip in... gonna try and ice it today and eat some ibuprofen. it looks swollen. tuesday:11 mile ride, a little hill work wednesday:commute40 min spin video (lvl 10 race, super heavy r)cleans: 5x20,20,30,30,40,40,45power c/p 8x45,45,50,50,50,60,60,60supersetted a couple more sets @60 with wall balls x20,20,20 aductors, calf press, abductorshanging leg lifts 5x20knee balance & standing med balance db pressesoblique crunches 50/50 i feel like i rocked it, but i could have rocked it harder. maybe i was less tired and stressed out... usually i hit shoulders harder in addition to this kind of workout, that might have something to do with it.

Masking the pain and not letting your self properly heal may slow your progress and result in changing what could have been temporary into something chronic. Please take care of your self.

vivalasvegans Posted March 2, 2010 Author Share Posted March 2, 2010 it's still swollen, i've been hammering ginger and taking occasional ibu, which has helped. i think i'm aggravating it by balancing on it on a sit up ball. gonna give that a rest for a while. it doesn't seem to affect pedaling, but it wasn;t super comfy on the elliptical last night. i should give that a rest too. do you ever take ibuprofen, mary? thank you for the reminder johnv. you are right, i do need to be careful.

MaryStella Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 I pretty much have to be in unbearable pain to take anything. I just don't like the side effects. meaning I usually feel better when I dont take something than when I do. recover faster etc. But on occasion is something is really bad i will. I am a huge fan of ice. I think with works wonder on pain and inflammation. So I ice anything that hurts. yeah it is inconvient but it does work. Hope the knee is getting better!
