ouch

This was stuck in my knee today....

The good news is, nothing is torn but the cartilage is worn down and the doctor said that he would recommend I take up another form of exercise.  He said that I could run this weekend but I am not sure if my  friend that lives in Dallas made other plans or not, since I told her I probably wouldn't be able to run.  I haven't ran at all in two weeks so it will not hurt my feelings if she has.  I am sure I would have to walk most of it.

Before my ortho appointment I went to the check up with my band doctor.  He called me skinny (blush).  He asked me how much more weight I wanted to lose.  I told him I would like to be 118, that would put me at a 20 BMI.  He said he wasn't opposed to it but he wasn't going to give me a fill to help me off this plateau of 127.8.  I am sure once my knee pain subsides and I am able to exercise it will help a lot.  I don't go back until April 30.

I did some major shopping this weekend with my sister.  We hit Marshall's and Ross.  I got some really cute dresses and a few shirts.  I still needed pants so I stopped at Name Brand Clothing and found 5 pair of Ann Taylor Loft pants (size 4) and a rain jacket (it is pouring here) for $30!!  I find that I still go straight for the 12/14's and have to remind myself that I am in the wrong place.  My sister kept getting on to me for grabbing large shirts.  I also gave away most of my "big" clothes.  I was getting tired of picking up a pair of pants for work thinking I had something to wear and they wouldn't stay up.  Not that I am complaining about wearing a size 4 for the first time in my life!!!

I am using the injection in my knee as an excuse not to cook tonight.  I wonder what Dennis will come up with for dinner....
