My doctor told me that if I can bring my weight down to between 155 - 160 I won't have any problems with cholesterol. I brought it down to 154 by doing half marathons and riding 30 and 50 miles. Unfortunately, I was struck down by a reckless driver at 10 am on a Sunday morning while I was about to complete the last 2 miles of a 5 mile run and a 20 mile ride. I suffered a broken shoulder, retracted tear on right groin, and injury to my right knee. I could not exercise for 2 years because of the serious injuries. During that time my weight went up to 200 lbs and along with it came other problems. I am back in the gym working out again. My stamina is great for age.
Billy, the mind plays a big part in our healing and I wish you well.
My knee was broken when a careless driver hit our car with our daughter also in it. She suffered minor bruises and scratches, but experienced many nightmares.
It took me a while to heal since the wires in my knee was broken once, but I was determined not to feel sorry for myself and was able to climb again for work.
Today the knee feels like it was before and I am able to do a full hour of aerobics three times weekly.
