Frustrating and disappointing walking day

When I awoke at 4:15 a.m. to go to the bathroom, my knees were stiff and painful.  There was no way I would be able to walk today.  So I took 800 mg. Motrin, hoping that would help. I got out of bed maybe 15 minutes later and there was quite a improvement, to where I could move around quite easy, so I decided to walk.  I was full of frustration as I wanted to walk so bad but my knees were so sore as I started to walk.  I had to stop in the middle of my walk to loosen my shoe laces on my left foot.  The gel insole I put in the night before seems to be hindering me more, than  comfort for my feet.  I walked around 2 miles, knees sore and decided that if I want to walk tomorrow I better not push it.  When I got home I took a nap and when I awoke I was so stiff once again, that it was hard to bend my knees.  


Yesterday I had a greek yogurt for a snack.  For lunch I had two slices of toasted sprouted grain bread with mustard, turkey breast, avocado and alfalfa sprouts.  For dinner 1/2 english cucumber, wild rice with raw red onions and tilapia.  This morning before my walk I totally forgot to eat a piece of fruit so I had the banana, Cheerios and non fat milk when I got home.
