(little) squats for the first time in months!

Yay. After struggling with knee pain since August, I have had to take the past couple of weeks almost completely off from working out at all; it's the busiest time of year for me, and also the chronic daily headache was really hard to deal with for some of the time. Two weeks of rest really helped; Saturday I was able to do reverse lunges (unweighted) and today I managed 10 goblet squats. It still hurt a little but I could actually DO them! I only did 10...don't want to hurt myself all over again.

Yay, go you! Coming back to exercise after injury is really hard (and really gratifying once it works).

Also, sorry to hear about the chronic daily headaches. Have you checked out [community profile] headache? (Shameless self-promo, I'm the moderator)

Go you! Coming back after injuries is always such a nice feeling.
