Amazing how little weight I gained, all things considered. I suppose God or the Universe or whatever decided there's only so much I need to carry right now...
My knee hasn't gotten any better, so after 6 weeks, my physical therapist and I decided it was time for me to go to a doctor, and she told me about a surgeon that did a great job on one of her clients. I made an appointment, then called the surgeon's office and have an appointment with her the day after I see my primary care doctor; December 10 and 11.
My eating has been crazy; eating healthy, but too much. Eating too many sweets, too many quick and easy meals. Too many calories on days when I don't get much exercise, then exercising too vigorously (Zumba) to make up the difference, increasing my pain levels, making sleep difficult....
I hope to even things out by returning to Silver Sneakers on my no-Zumba days. I'm asking my physical therapist for exercises to help me prepare for the possibility of a knee replacement; to be as strong & fit as I can be, ready to rehab well.
Trying to keep my chin up. Went out to lunch with friends today (had a latte, then later had lunch with my partner). Planning on getting serious about practicing the flute, maybe making jewelry again, or painting, instead of baking for my creative outlet.
Tonight I'm making a Mexican Skillet Dinner, with ground turkey breast, whole grain macaroni, corn, tomatoes, green chilies, spices, etc. I have a loaf of bread of whole wheat flax bread in the machine.
Darn, I need to get some actual work done, ttyl.
