Sunshine update
Well - I am leaving the dreary Chicago behind this coming Saturday. I am going with my SIL, nephew, and niece to Orlando to do the Disney thing. Totally last minute but now that it is booked and the weather forecast here is so ugly I am really happy about the sun. Staying at a place that has what appears to be a great pool, water slide area. Getting into Orlando about 3 on Sat and then flying back out at 8pm on Wed - strange time but you try finding cheap fares for 4.
This has been a good week so far and the weekend was too. My JC consultant is back on Sat and my appt is at 7:40 but my flight is at 9:30 so I am going to have to call and change it - maybe to Friday morning or otherwise after I come back. I am down about a pound from my last wi so I am excited about that and hoping for another pound by Sat. Went to the gym again today - more eliptical and treadmill. I actually had a doctors appt yesterday just the reg checkup but asked him about my knee and he said it could be a torn miniscus and I need an MRI or can try physical therapy. Trying to figure out which one to do - not looking forward to paying that $500 deductible and lord knows an MRI would do that. But I really want this knee to be better I am tired of not being able to really run, no rowing machine and very little kettleball. Just finished dinner - I have eaten all my Jenny food and actually get to eat some of my own food. I made a new fish thing I had bought - Gortons herb and something tilapia - each filet had 80 calories and only 150 mg of sodium - I ate 2 and then spinach and a sweet potato that I "baked" in the micro - I topped it with greek yogurt, curry, and cinamon. Yum! I even weighed the potato and it was 180 calories. I was busy running all day and ended up grabbing a 50 calorie La Tortilla and turkey wrap that I ate in the car so my lunch was a whopping 200 calories - I am telling you this because I am psyched that I have enough calories to make a strawberry smoothie in a few minutes. Just sitting here watching the Biggest Loser - the Nicole girl just returned and lost 87 pounds - wow She looks great. That is where I need to be down 87 pounds down instead of the 65 that I have lost.
