Total Weight Loss - 50 lbs

Well, Thanksgiving managed to do me in.  I made a conscious decision NOT to track anything over the holiday.  I wanted to live as 'normal' a life as I could around family and friends...and I paid dearly for it!
In looking back on the week, I snacked quite a bit, though my choices were relatively healthy.  I also gorged myself on turkey.  When I say 'gorge', I mean that I ate until I was full (a couple of ounces), then waited 30 minutes and did it all over again!  Not smart!  

I also slacked on my fluid intake - - and it showed.  I know my sodium intake was up pretty substantially.  I indulged myself in a couple of bites of mashed potatoes and a couple of bites of dressing.  I had a tiny sliver of cake when we celebrated my niece/nephew and I even sampled some divinity that I made while at home.  

My activity is still limited due to the knee, also.  I went back to the orthopedic surgeon, and there is still some issue with stability, popping and the kneecap itself.  It seems my kneecaps are 'mal-aligned' and thus prone to dislocation.  That's what caused my accident in Hawaii.  The kneecap popped out of place, I went down...and when I hit the ground, I tore the MCL.    Two more weeks in the brace, per doc's orders...then gradually increasing physical activity.  **sigh**

I need to get on the ball again.  I have had my fun...I want to drop the weight I gained over Thanksgiving.  It was around 2 1/2lbs...and I HAVE lost all but 1/2 pound of it since Monday.  I just need to keep this rolling!
I had to reschedule my 3 mo followup with the surgeon because I was out of town...so I definitely want to be at a lower weight (praying for sub 195) when I go in for that visit!
