I have a nice scale, a HealthOMeter, but I wasn't using it to it's full potential. I just set it so it has my height and weight and BMI to start. Plus I was able to enter a goal weight. My starting weight is 288.4 (with clothes on) and my goal is 174. I have 114 to lose to get to my goal weight. If that plays out at WI day I will have lost 10 pounds to date. Woot! Even if I'm not there this WI day it will come soon. Now I can use the scale to keep track better at home. I like that it has BMI information. That's my big goal, to have a healthy BMI. Right now I'm in the morbidly obese category. No biggie (haha) though because I know that will change.
My knee is still hurting. The ibuprofen doesn't help as much as I wish it would. Icing it helps for a little bit. When I'm sitting I have to keep my foot on the floor. If I put it on my foot rest it stretches it and it hurts. So, I'm not doing that. Having it bent some feels better. It's not pain as much as it is pressure. My knee feels like it's in a vice. It's hurting down into my calf a little bit. I can't wait to call the doctor tomorrow. I don't think Shellie will be in until Tuesday though. I'll call Dr. Jinkings too and see if I can see him sooner. Whoever can see me first is who I will go to. I'm really hoping to get an MRI scheduled for this week. I guess I'll have to see what happens.
I've got to start planning something for dinner. I wanted to go to the store but my knee is bothering me too much.
We are watching Indy Car Racing and one of the drivers died in a crash today. I'm really sad even thought I don't follow Indy Car very closely. His name was Dan Weldon. He wasn't that old either. How sad. It puts so many things into perspective.
