Wednesday Weigh In

I had my knee appointment Monday, no more rehab for me. Doctor didn't think it was necessary, said I just need to build up slowly, ice after exercise if I feel anything at all so it doesn't get super inflammed again. But since it appears that one of my "bursa" is not a happy one, I think I will stay away from running. Which makes me a little sad. I see all of these other people who are able to do it and I wish I could too. The doctor said some people are just good at somethings, and not so good at others. He compared it to runners in Africa, saying people from West Africa have never run a marathon because that is no what their body type is good for, they are the sprinters whereas people from East Africa are shorter and thinner and can handle the marathons. So I'm back to walking, although not sure how far I can go yet.

And then there is the diet. I am sort of bummed today. No loss. No gain. I really thought I would have a loss today. I think I will weigh in again Friday to see if I can get myself a loss for the week. Does this mean I'm changing my weigh in to Friday? No it's more of an accountability gain I'm playing with myself. If nothing else it makes me stay on track for another two days. I have an awful habit of chowing down on weigh in day since I have a week to be good....which is probably really hampering my weight loss.

I almost have another reason to lose weight, other than my own personal health and satisfaction. This is our 5th Year Wedding Anniversary...where has the time gone? Wouldn't it be nice to be the same weight as when I got married? Ok, well that isn't going to quite happen by our anniversary but I can be on the way. But we are also seriously considering a trip to the caribbean for December. There are some great prices. Do you think if I tell John I promise to lose 25 lbs if we book the trip he'd do it :)?

My minigoal is 8 more lbs by August 13th, and total loss of 25 by December. Which is more than doable.

So still 8 lbs to lose to my mini goal....can I say only 6 lbs to lose on Friday? Keeping fingers crossed and my mouth duct taped shut!
