    Keep strong!
    Do you have an appointment for a specialist or phsyical therapist yet?

    Not yet. I was researching physiotherapists last night. I want to go to a different one for this knee, because I weigh so much more than I did last time and if I were that therapist I would be judging me six ways to Sunday! And because I am so big now, I think I want a woman instead of the young guy.

    I guess because it is out if my norm it feels a little indulgent and how much I look forward to it. But just a few months ago I was drinking several sodas without even thinking about it.

    @brandi_84 amazing isn't it? Cut yourself some slack on the coffee. 🙂

    @HASWLRS you're right, bingeing should be a word. You're also right in that you didn't gain two pounds of fat overnight, but it's amazing how our brain is conditioned to think that way. If I could go back and raise my daughter with the awareness that I have now. 😔 Although she was always able to eat piles of nachos, pizza rolls and cheese fries and still be thin. Not sure where she got that gene because I was always chubby, even back in kindergarten. 😕

    I digress 😂 I hope you find a therapist that you can work with successfully.

    Also,, am jealous of your new sunroom! We are looking at houses down in Virginia and I always swoon when a house has one.

    I was thinking the same thing, regarding soda (or pop as we say here) vs. coffee. @brandi_84 Three or four coffees, providing you aren't scooping heaps of sugar into each one, is waaay better than a few sodas each day!

    Thank you, ladies. Yesterday turned out to be a good day, in spite of my earlier mood. Got almost half way done my file folders, went for an uncomfortable 30 minute walk, talked to a guy about a TV for our new sun room, had a nice bath, and had healthy Subway for supper when my husband first suggested pizza. And the scales cooperated this morning. Down those two pounds!

    @murdog3t I actually forgot how to post a link, that is why I suggested you just do some scrolling. But it came back to me.

    November Daily Weighing and Logging thread

    https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10902499/november-dailly-logging-and-weigh-in-challenge#latest

    @HASWLRS this cracked me up! I'm with you all the way. I can paste links and upload pictures from my computer but not from my phone. 🙃

    Therefore you will have to wait until Monday to see today's pictures, but I have to share that not only did I finish, I came in second 🥈 for my age group! I received TWO medals. 😂

    Well, I got into the chips last night, so I am up half a pound on the scales this morning, which is to be expected. But every time I decide to throw my calorie budget out the window and eat chips in the evening, I forget how it affects my sleep. I ALWAYS have a restless sleep and wake up in the middle of the night, very thirsty, and have a hard time falling back to sleep. A good night's sleep is WAY more desirable than some stupid chips....so why do I always forget that part of the equation??

    Sometimes I would eat something even thinking about how I wasn't going to feel good after eating but I still would indulge. Its weird how we do things like that to ourselves.

    Yeah, I have been known to do that with cheese. Too much makes me feel yucky, but I would chow down on the biggest chunk ever!! Why oh why??

    @DaffyGirl88 You and your daughter look great! It looks like it was a beautiful day, too. The big 3-D donut was pretty good....I guess they were worthy of first place in the costume category. Did you place second in your age group as well?

    I had a good day yesterday, and the scales rewarded me this morning with a two pound loss! What a great way to start a Monday! Hope you are all having a great start to your Monday as well!! Let's make this a really good week!!

    Our hot tub just got delivered. Of course it is wrapped up and sitting in the garage (and it will be for a while), but it's here!

    @HASWLRS I did place second. :) There were 4 of us in the over 60 crowd so I beat 2 of them. I was worried that my detour to the water / munchkin (aka Timbit) stop may have kept me out of first but no, she beat me by about 6 minutes. You can tell, she looks like a runner. LOL

    It was a beautiful day after the race, it made it up to 78 degrees. During the race it was hovering around 38 so I'm wearing 4 layers in that photo. :D
