Am I becoming a couch potato?

THE BAD - What a non-active past week I had. No walking for over a week (awaiting for PT tomorrow). Although boring - I need to start working out indoors (have old elliptical machine).  The medicine makes me drowsy and the supplements are giving me heartburn. Top it off and my knee feels just about the same every time I do any amount of activity. Hope I can check it out with an MRI soon and get this moving along. I am losing my patience for the process because I know I will need to start over building up miles on my feet and legs- it just stinks. 

 THE GOOD - Heck of a weekend with my nephews and brother in-laws. Attended GUYS ONLY 2nd annual take out the Dock weekend at the lake. I know, I know, sounds like work (IT IS), but actually it began with a Saturday golf outing of 4 man scramble (teamed up with my nephews) and ended the day with what can only be described as a drink-fest (my first in years). Good timing - Just what I needed - a guy’s weekend!  FYI - Sunday's hangover helped take mind off my knee (UGH)

Not a bad stretch for my sports viewing experiences either - GO BrewCrew (NL Division champs)and Pack beat DA' Bears!

So hope this week brings me some direction on what I can and cannot do in preparing for that long walkabout next year.   Any words of wisdom or encouragement much appreciated!
