    Well, yesterday after my walk - my knee froze up and now I can put any weight on it. Perfect timing - as I have my othopedic appointment today. Hope they can do something - but it looks like I won't be getting in those walks for the near future. I won't let it de-rail me. I'll have to do some upper body workouts until I get it figured out.

    I have been having some pain in my knees for a couple weeks now. When I had my doctor's appointment last week - my doctor said to keep walking, and referred me to an orthopedic doctor (appointment tomorrow). I have been pushing through to get my step and cardio goals done. The last couple of days, have been hurting a lot so slowed down a little. Just did a stretch workout and a couple smaller walks. I am anxious about what the doctor will say tomorrow.

    @Megan_smartiepants1970 I had the wrong day on the top - this should have been Sunday.

    I am a morning person BUT....I'm not a social morning person. I love to get up early and enjoy the quiet start of the day, but I don't want to talk to anyone. I just want to be in my own world, doing my own thing. I start talking around 10:00am :)


    Cheese > I love cheese so it's hard to pick a favorite. I had this aged white cheddar that was to die for, Brie, Gouda, of course cheddar,Gorgonzola, Parmesan, gryere (sp).

    Went to the doctor, arthritis in both knees, but concerned it could me a meniscus tear on left side (which doesn't show up on an xray). Have to wait for insurance to approve, then going for an MRI. In the meantime, stay off for a week or two, and ibuprofen to reduce swelling. Upper exercises, and eating less for the time being, and have to figure out my diet without having the exercise calories to rely on. Was a tad over yesterday. I did find some seated cardio and strength routines that I tried, but . . . .

    I did but since you didn't hit your step goal of 7000 it was 0/7 I hope that makes sense

    Found a lot of seated cardio and strength workouts. It's amazing what you can find on youtube. I think my Garmin overestimates the number of calories burned - but that's a different story. I'm feeling a little better, can walk without the crutches - a step at a time.

    If you had to get a tattoo today, what would you get?

    I lost my dad is 1994, his 2nd wife pulled a gun on him and gave him a heart attack .. he was 51 when he died ..the hardest day of my life ... I am an avid dolphin collector so I would get 2 dolphins shaped in a heart with a banner that said DaddyKins (that is what I called him) boy do I miss him :'(

    Wow! I'm so sorry. I hope she's serving some time! That tattoo would be beautiful 🐬
    I have a few tattoos already, if I had to get one today it would probably be my hometown emblem. My husband drew one up for me. I just have to get it done
