Day 33 and Flowers on a Rainy Day

Luckily the stall in my weight loss was short-lived.  As of this morning, I'm down 22 pounds and am proudly overweight!

Unfortunately, my knees, especially my right one, has been protesting the increase in activity.  The swelling and pain has been enough to keep me off of it for the most part for 3 days.  Guess I really need to take the gradual approach.

Our Association had its Annual Meeting yesterday, and I got to facilitate it.  There were some tense moments, but I think it went well.  The amount of work leading up to it was overwhelming, so today's rain has meant that I have a chance to rest.  I'm staying in my PJs all day watching old episodes of Doc Martin on  Netflix, picking up stuff occasionally.

This afternoon there was a knock on the door and a shy, pretty little girl stood outside and said "I got you flowers".  I asked her to repeat herself, since wasn't carrying anything.  She finally pointed to a Tupperware container on my deck that held a bunch of white flowers.  Then I saw her Mom on the golf cart, and she said "she wanted to bring you flowers"!  I was embarrassed because I couldn't even remember the little girl's name (Micah) when she apparently knew me.  Anyway, it made my day.

One of the bad things about being stuck inside all day is the boredom.  I've had several moments today when my cravings got really bad.  But, when I wanted a peanut butter cup, I had some Mandarin oranges instead.
