Another gain this morning but I know it’s my stupid knee.  I’m still all swollen and sore.  I’m gonna put ice on it tonight and hope that that helps.  *Sigh*  I want so bad to jump on the elliptical but I really think I shouldn’t put strain on a joint that is obviously injured.  I just wish I knew what I’d done to injure it!!  I was just walking, for heaven’s sake!

Today I wore my pink jeans.  I bought these jeans about three years ago when I was going through a pink phase.  LOL I had pink everything, even sunglasses!  Anyway, I loved my pink jeans but unfortunately grew out of them after I quit smoking.  I started wearing them again a couple weeks ago - and I noticed earlier today that they are getting baggy.  Wow, that was quick! 

My friend Diane asked me today if I was gonna do a before-and-after picture.  Now, she knows that I blog about my weight-loss stuff but has no idea what the web address is and I’m not about to tell her.  This is a place where I can post whatever I’m thinking or feeling and so far I’ve only given out the address to one person that I know in RL (my niece - and I have no idea if she ever comes here and reads what I write).  Anyway, I told Diane that I had done a “before” picture and that I didn’t want to do an “in progress” picture to compare it with until I lost 30 lbs from the first one. 

What I didn’t tell her is that I weighed 270 in the “before” picture - so I want to get down to 240 before taking a subsequent one.  Except for my husband (and I guess my niece) no one (in RL) knows how much I weighed before or how much I weigh now.

I probably won’t share that my highest weight was 285 with ANYONE - at least not until I get very close to goal.  Am I weird?
