Happy Joints

Another Wednesday Weigh Day, another pound down.  That is a total of 18 pounds and my official weight is at 140.  This is reassuring especially in the wake of not getting in much exercise these past few weeks.  Proof that healthy eating habits are essential.

Speaking of which, I have had a bum knee and a clicky hip for quite some time.  I had unpleasant visions of going under the knife for either a hip replacement, knee replacement, or both.  Lately my hip has been way less clicky (or maybe just don't notice it as much).  Also, my knee is far less bothersome.  It still reminds me from time to time that it isn't perfect, but overall it has improved significantly since shaving off nearly 20 pounds.  My knee and hip thank me.

I guess I was having kind of an anxious day today with my anxiety swelling as the day went on (for reasons unknown).   I reeaalllllly didn't want to go for a walk this evening, but I forced myself to get out and enjoy a beautiful evening.  It was a very leisurely stroll; normally I take a hilly route, but I stayed on a less challenging route tonight.  It felt so good!  Hoping this aids in getting a good night sleep tonight.

Food:

Granola bar
raspberries

1/2 avocado chicken wrap
fresh veggies

pudding with raspberries
piece of homemade blueberry bread

Egg and cheese sandwich
cherries/grapes
peas and carrots

freeze pop

I really didn't have much of an appetite for dinner due to a giant anxiety ball in my belly, but I ate anyway.  It really made me feel a little better actually, but I really wasn't that hungry.  I was excited to try my first organic egg!

Activity:
