    Good morning ladies!
    I have been plateaued for weeks. Finally the scale started to move again. Down 2 this week. I started trying to incorporate a little more exercise in my days. And when I say little it’s been little.

    @GardenQueen30 Thank you for the encouragement. I had an appointment with the doctor last week to discuss the MRI results. When I tore my lateral and medial meniscus, I did a really good job. Both of the tears are sideways, and they are the kind that requires a repair. (Not the kind that they just snip away the little piece that is causing the pain.) I will be on crutches for 2 weeks. I am trying to hold off until next month so my hubby can be home with me for a few days. I will be doing PT after the surgery. I am doing some PT on my own to strengthen my legs as much as possible prior to surgery. As for the physical activity, it has become a little bit of an obsession to me. The PA looked at me a little funny when my first question was when can I start lifting weights again.

    @kiteflyer105 Thank you for the prayers, I really appreciate them! Please remember to give yourself grace. Yes, January was rough, but you recognized it, and you are taking steps to do better and making better decisions. I hope you post here more often. Everyone here is very supportive. Plus, I look forward to seeing the great things that you will accomplish!

    Good morning! Read your posts since last I posted. I am hovering weight wise before hopefully losing. I realized that last week I walked 2.8 miles so that is just about the length of the walk around Greenlake which is one of my goals so today I plan to walk around Greenlake despite the rain. I will let you know how it goes.

    I did it! I walked around Greenlake. I ran into an old friend and talked so was standing or walking for over 2 hours.

    @KeriA Congratulations!!! You did it! Lots of hard work and determination over a prolonged period of time will give us the results we're looking for. You're proof of that today.
    Old friends are the best...well, new friends are pretty good, too ;)
