for you
for me!!

forgot what it feels like to be warm!!!

We left Florida yesterday afternoon, it was 80*

Right now, I'm sitting at home wrapped in my Snuggie and it is 42* outside.....

Tomorrow morning, it's back to the gym!!!

It's a good thing I have getting some of this weight off. I went to see my orthopedic surgeon yesterday after work, he told me that the inner side of my right knee is nearly bone on bone and suggested that I have a partial knee replacement within the next few months. The doc did give me a cortisone injection in the3 knee joint to help ease the pain, he also said it was up to me as to when I would like to schedule the surgery. I had a partial knee replacement to my left knee in March 2001, so I know what I am in for.

This will be my 8th knee operation since I was 16 years old and the 4th surgery to my right knee.

I didn't do as bad as I thought I was going to do during vacation. I did put 4 pounds back on, but I am working to get those pounds back off. I will have to work on more weight ,and less treadmill, for the near future.

Hi Linda,

Mainly just exercising, some weight training and treadmill time, plus trying real hard to watch what I eat, such as cutting out the sweets and salty foods.

It's been a tough week for me though as I only got to the gym on Monday. In fact, I am home today strapped to an infra-red heating pad to ease my knee pain.

a 4lb gain is pretty good considering you were in florida!!!
i'm sure it'll soon come off - keep resting that knee
