Total Weight Loss - 52 lbs

I actually hit a lower weight on Saturday (195.6).  It was a great birthday present to receive!
However, I also got another unexpected (and unwelcome) gift.  A horrid, horrid cold that settled into my chest.  I wasn't very good at getting my liquids.  Not to mention, I was STARVING.  And I am NOT talking head hunger.  This was the real deal.  So, I ate.  I know my body was just hungry for fuel to fight this illness, so I gave in and ate.  I ate cereal, chicken, cheese, chili....wow, all "c" words...interesting.  AND steak.  Yeah, I wanted steak on my birthday!  I even drank a high-cal beverage.  I got up Monday morning to find I had gained 1.5lbs.  Yup.  High sodium and no liquids, combined with a binge....it will kick you in the butt every time.  Of course, this is also causing me to stall a bit - - I managed to lose 1.1 of the 1.5lbs by today....but it is definitely slower than I had hoped.

I plan on starting my treadmill workouts again tonight - - the knee feels relatively stable.  

For my birthday, I also went shopping at Lane Bryant.  It's bittersweet - - I am glad to be dropping sizes, but now I am wearing the smallest size they carry...and even that is getting a bit big on me.  I had $325 in Real Women dollars I had to use...so I splurged on a new coat for me...a new coat for mom, two new pair of trousers, a pair of trouser jeans, a pair of Se7en jeans, a velvet jacket, some underwear for mom, two pair of ballet flats....and some other things I can't recall.  I think this was my last major purchase at LB.  

Now I need to find a new clothing addiction store!  My little sister is going to be so thrilled when I finally officially drop into the single digits...because I have a veritable closet full of 12s, 14s and 16s that are beautiful and barely worn! (She already has some of the 16s and all of my 18s and 20s!)
