It's been awhile since I've posted.
Doing Karate 2 X per week, but my knee is nagging me sometimes, so I've been concentrating on strengthening my leg so my knee will fieel less stress.
There's a big hill near my house so I climb up and down it carrying a kettlebell. Weekends I go down to the beach to run in the sand.
Still lifting too.

Good news........
I went to see a Doctor regarding the nagging knee pain I still feel. When one has ACL surgery, you have a choice of replacing the torn ligament with either a piece of your own patellar tendon, or a piece of tendon from a cadaver (a dead body ). I opted for a piece of my own patellar, and the pain that I sometimes feel when I go into a sqaut or kneeling position is simply a residual effect from the patellar being worked with. The bottom line is that I will always feel some pain doing certain positions, but the overall condition and strength of my repaired knee is normal.Doctor gave me the permission to train as hard as I want.

Been consistent with my Karate workouts...Did some sparring the other night and I did pretty well.....The knee didn't seem to be compromising my movements too much.

I have had a broken bone at the end of my finger for weeks and I didn't even know it. I must have a high pain tolerance. I've cut down on the sparring, but I've increased the stretching and kettlebell workouts. For the past 3 weeks I have not eaten ANY sweets, cookies, cake, chips or fast food. I have also stopped consuming diet sodas. I was up to 6-8 cans per day. No major weight loss yet, but my bathroom movements are much better and regular now. TMI ?

Working out big time. Rejoined cardio boxing/kickboxing. Heavy kettlebell and barbell work on non cardio days. Karate 2 days per week. Still no junk foods, sugary snacks or diet soda.

nice man. that's good to hear. definitely takes dedication, but when you get rolling it's so satisfying. take a minute to realize how ****ing good you feel in case you ever fall off, it'll make the climb back up so much easier!
