at least as far as eating.  I didn’t get to prop my knee up for the most part yesterday so when I got home, I went straight to my room (after I took my contacts out) and read my letter from my significant other (who has told me that he doesn’t care if I lose weight or not because he loves me the way I am), talked to his mom for awhile and then went to sleep.  I’ll try to be a little better today.  Provided I don’t have to stay at the office for the most of the night tonight!  At least maybe foodwise, I will be prepared.  It may not be the best meals…but those PB&Js sure stick to the ribs and are still better than a burger!

and decided that although I may not be able to do too much because of my knee right now, I can concentrate on my arms and upper body for the moment.  This really sort of stinks to be honest, but I can’t just do nothing if I want to get this weight off!  Any suggestions for strengthen my knee and getting through this?!

I fell leaving my mother’s last night.  I can’t believe it…but I had a bad sharp pain/burning sensation in my knee that I had surgery on in HS.  Went to the doctor this morning and am on anti-inflammatories and he instructed me to buy a knee brace with the steel rods on the sides for support.  OH!  As if that wasn’t bad enough…he also told me that I had the beginning of arthritis in my knee.  Now, I know I have to get the weight off…but I can’t do much right now with my knee and ankle swollen!  I can’t believe this…so now my knee is swollen and looking like it has a softball in it…oh boy what fun?!  Can someone tell me that the light I see at the end of the tunnel isn’t a train?!

The woman who cleans our office gave me the best compliment…especially since I haven’t actively been trying to lose weight at present!  She told me yesterday that everytime she saw me in the hall, I just keep getting skinnier and skinnier!    Imagine what I can do when I actually am trying!? Definitely gets a girl to thinking!  

Take care and God Bless!

I am trying this again…I really need to be a healthier me!  There’s been so much going on in my life that I know I need a support system again to get this going and be a healthier me.  It’s wonderful that the one I love loves me the way I am…but I would like to be around to watch my son graduate from HS and then College…I can’t do that if I don’t start making steps in the right direction!  So, I’m on here again, (thank you Stacey for the Buddy Request) looking for away to make “me” better.  One step at a time!
