I can start hiking again. I have no injury, just irritation and arthritis. He gave me a steroid injection that is helping already (probably the anesthetic in it). He was sad that I had gained so much weight over the summer but thrilled that I am on the WW plan and losing weight now. He said that as I lose weight my knees should feel better and better. Now I just need to stick with the program and stay on plan. Getting out to hike again is going to really make me feel better mentally. I'll feel like I'm using up some of the points I'm taking in. I'll probably wait until Friday to go walking to give the injection time to work. This means I can get back to the Y too, slowly, but I can get back there. No banked track or bike for me though at this point. I'll take a treadmill class and see how that goes. If anything irritates my knee too much I'll have to back off but I think I should be good to go on the hiking.
I'm hoping we make it to the meeting tonight for WI. The roads are just wet now but may ice up then. If the roads don't cooperate, I'll just weigh in on Thursday. No biggie.I'm not going to let it get me down. I know I've gained but I still want to weigh in. It would be easy to skip this week and wait until next week when I know I'll probably be down and have lost the first 10 lbs but I don't want to only go when things are good. When things aren't good is when I really need to be there. Like I've been doing this week. I'll find the support and encouragement I need there.
Lunch was lean deli ham and a 1/3 slice of cheddar cheese on a multigrain sandwich thins bread, with 14 chips. I'm still eating fast and don't feel satisfied right away but I'm getting used to waiting the 20 minutes so that I know that I indeed did have enough to eat. Also had a pear with lunch to get some fruit in.
I just was reminded looking at the calendar that David has a doctor appointment this afternoon and so going to the 5:30pm meeting may not work out. I don't want to drive on icy roads so I think I'll just plan on weighing in tomorrow at noon (the 9:30am is the mom and me meeting). Oops can't do that because I see Alicia at 11:30am. I'll just go by sometime tomorrow just to weigh in. I could go now but I'd have to rush and there's no sense in doing that. I'll just wait until tomorrow. I don't want David to have to come home from a long day and have to rush to a meeting. That wouldn't be any fun for him or for me.
Too scattered right now in my thinking. I'll figure out what I'm going to do and just do it. LOL
