Disappointment

I knew a few days ago this was going to be a disappointing weigh-in, but not because I wasn't eating correctly! I went to camp on the 6th with my family. I drank a few Twisted Teas and ate a good bit of food, but Monday morning I was all business, NS all week. -- Including all my water!! I had a baby cone of ice cream with my daughter one night during the week but other than that it was all NS food. Still ,today I had lost only 1 lbs. I twisted my knee last weekend while we were at camp, it hurt then but now over a week later it's swollen and still sore as hell. I'm assuming I didn't lose because of the fluid built up in my knee. I have arthritis so I know what I'm dealing with...it has happened before. Nothing a couple of new knees couldn't fix. I had the scope done on the other knee when this happened before and it has help(they remove the shards that have broken free and are floating around in the fluid in my knee). Yeah..sorry about that, its nasty. I'm very disappointed because this will keep me from being able to exercise much until I get it fixed. BUT IT ISN'T GOING TO KEEP ME FROM STAYING ON PLAN AND EATING PROPERLY!!! If I could have stuck with this program when I started a year ago I wouldn't be in the condition I'm in now! And that makes me really mad at myself. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!! I feel like that Susan Powder screaming about stopping the insanity--minus the inch long blonde hair! LOL
So on to another week. It is nice to be home with my daughter and have a little time off. We have been doing puzzles all morning and now we are off to buy some flowers for the gardens. I know, pretty sad, I usually grow my own but there just weren't enough hours in the day this spring. Have a great week all!

Bummer on the knee and not being able to exercise. Still a pound is a pound AND you're right you can still stay on plan and eat correctly.

Susan Powter, huh? I remember her. Check out my blog entry for May 15 if you haven't already it may be helpful for you to do something like that. Also check out today's (May 16) Daily Dose column on Nutrisystem - I thought of you when I read it especially the line that said, "Maybe your husband (jokingly, to him) makes offhanded comments about your weight loss and how much money you're wasting (again)." I know Paul has never specifically said this (well if he has I don't remember reading about it), but has said similar things (like about bypass surgery being the only answer) that has upset you.

Anyway keep on keeping on. I look forward to more frequent updates and losses now that school is out (or will be soon if it isn't quite yet). Have a good week.
