I had a great weigh in at class this week.  I was really happy I lost more this week than last week.  I am learning so much.  It is really making class enjoyable.

I am having more trouble with my knee due to my weight and the osteoarthritis.  I am going to try a treatment that is new to me.  I am going to go for three consecutive weeks and have a gel solution injected into my knee.  I am really hoping it works.  The doctor said if it doesn’t work, it will not cause any harm.  This could be an effective way to relieve the pain until I drop my weight and get a new knee.

This has been a really stressful week.  There were some unexpected family issues that caused a great amount of stress and anxiety.  I am about to have some life changing events occur, and am worried about what they will do to my weight loss.  Due to the fact that stress is one of my food triggers, I have to be very careful not to reverse the progress I have made.
