Monday..Starting the Week Off Right

So Monday... a good reason for a fresh start. Went to my trainer this evening. Worked out super hard. She did tell me that she consulted one of her physician friends about me. lol. I am always the "I have this client.... " person. He said that I should stop running. It was bad for my knees. I have a weird setup. When I stand with my feet facing forward my knees point inward. To get my knees to face forward I have to stand with my feet pointed outward. 
Ok here is a test. Stand with your feet pointed straight out to the side(_| |_), like you were going to do a plie. Now do a plie... bend your knees. Do your knees go out? And is there a big gap in between your knees (_<>_). Well when I do this I can bend my knees straight forward touching with no gap. Try that... It isn't easy. Ok enough about my jacked up knees. 
I did a little walking and a little rowing prior to my workout today so I got some cardio in as well as all the strength and stretching. I also did pretty well on my diet today. So no complaints on this fresh start Monday. I am about to go start week 2 of the pushups challenge. Wish me luck!
