Friday check in

Aren't I being so accountable? Maybe this means I'm actually serious about this. Oh wait, if I was actually serious about losing weight I wouldn't eat this many cookies.

A few other updates...I had my last "rehab" session yesterday. Yes, John calls it rehab. I told him I really don't think I need to go to rehab, there are two of my favorite bottles of wine sitting on the counter that I haven't even touched...yet! But it is Friday, so one of those will be going into the fridge soon. :).

Back to rehab....the knee is doing well. But definitely not 100%. I admit I don't do my exercises quite as often as I should, but it's hard. Combine this miserable heat with 2 little monsters who crawl all over me when I try to do them....and who wants to do leg exercises at 9:30 at night? But I'm getting there. I go see the doc on Monday, but the physical therapist thinks it would be good for me to come once a week for a few more weeks, and I don't disagree. She had me do some leg raises with the machine and I could barely lift the 1 lb weight....but I did make it all the way around the block last night without feeling any twinges of pain so that is a very good sign.

Well, my kids are playing in the back by themselves so I should probably go check on them. But there is no screaming and no fighting so sometimes I think it's better to just let them play. They fight more when we are around. And Molly will report in if Jack is doing something dangerous, or has done something to him.

John: Molly why is Jack crying?
Molly: Daddy, I didn't even bite him!
Jack: (pointing to his arm) Boo Boo. boo boo.
John: Jack, did Molly bite you?
Molly: I didn't bite his arm. I bit his face.

And good news on the diet front...I am back to the same weight I was last week so I am happy about that. Just means I need to buckle down and hope for a 2+ loss this week. 5 weeks to my cousins wedding and 8 lbs to lose. It would really help if I could workout.

Glad the knee is getting better. I laughed when I read about what Molly said. Sounds like something Becca would say too.
