The title seems counterintuitive, but here's my situation: I have an ongoing Move Streak of 1129 days--I last failed to close the ring in February, 2021 . To do so, I need to burn at least 960 active calories each day. I'm pretty proud of the streak, which I've maintained through business travel, vacations, (mild) illnesses, rain, snow, shine, unwilling dogs, and an occasional desire just to stay in bed past 7am for once.
I have recently been experiencing pain in my right knee. My family doctor thinks it may be a meniscus tear, which will be confirmed either way by the results of a scan. If it is, I will need a surgery--not major, but I won't be exercising for a while after it.
I wish it were possible to take a "vacation" from my streak for medical reasons! After all, I'm going to be stopping it on my doctor's orders--he wants me to do the rest, ice, compression, elevation thing to avoid further damage--not because I just couldn't be bothered keeping it going! And in truth, my exercise today confirmed that it's too painful to keep going anyway.
But I can see the issues with allowing this, and have no expectation of it happening. Bummer.
Just wanted to vent. Stupid knee.
