Yesterday was great. I did 50 minutes of upperbody weights and abs at lunchtime and avoided using my knee. I left work a couple hours early and went to Applebee's with DD and DM. Then DM offered to take DS for a sleepover so DD and I could go shopping. That was really nice. We spent most of our time in junior stores since we were mostly just shopping for DD. I was bored so I tried on a slinky black halter dress (size L in a jrs) and it fit! Not only did it fit, but from the hem up it looked GOOD! I was amazed that I actually like my shoulders now
BUT from the hem down OMG! My legs look like tree trunks! I haven't really looked at them all winter (I never wear dresses). They are huge. Very muscular but not sexy in the least 
A trip through the shoe store recomfirmed my observation. I saw a great pair of boots marked way down so I tried them. They were only mid-calve height and I couldn't zip them over my calf. Maybe I've spent too much time on the stairs-from-h*&@ll 
I bought a new iPod shuffle (my Sony minidisc player started acting up). So I loaded it up and exercised around the house for an hour, then DD and I watched "Little Black Book". We were bored with it, but it was nice to spend time together.
I woke up today thinking my knee was all better and since DS was at Grammy's I headed to the gym with my new iPod. I ran 6.2 miles in 60 minutes (6.2 mph continuous), then walked for a total of 7.0 miles and 10 minutes elliptical. The cardio room is upstairs. As soon as I hit the stairs to go back down I realized my knee is NOT OKAY
(So back to baby-ing it). But food has been totally OP since the stomach bug. I'm looking forward to a good WI on Monday. Last Monday was a holiday so we didn't have WW. On Friday I got an email saying our leader had to resign and we will be getting a new leader. I don't like change!!!! But I'll deal 
The knee says no TaeBo this weekend So I might bounce around on DS mini-trampoline and do Pilates. I'm still working on my fitness challenge at work. I have been averaging just about 600 minutes of exercise per week. That's a lot more than I did before the challenge started.
I started using FitDay but I don't know if I'll stick with it. Its so much work putting all my different foods in. I figure after a week or two I should have all my standards in. I'm curious so see how my fat/carb/prot/fiber works out. I like all the reports and things you can see with it so I'll give it a good try.

I hope to get that 50 pound magnet in another couple of weeks (9.4 pounds)
Have a great week!
You'd make a million girl!
