I had a good day yesterday. My deficit was 745!! I even had 1 cup of ice cream. All in all it was a great day, with many good things to note.

I noticed another drop on the scale this morning! I've lost 1.6 pounds. Not bad!

I went to the ortho specialist to find out about my knee. There wasn't a solid conclusion. I still have to have a MRI and may have to have the reconstruction of my knee revisited. The doctor said that I have knee instability and a "pretty good" (or "pretty bad" -- depending on how you look at it)amount of arthritis in my knees. Naturally extra weight doesn't help with either. Another good reason to lose weight. My knee hurts this moring. I had a big day yesterday, so that doesn't surprise me.

I found and bought a motorcycle yesterday, as well. She's a sweet little 500cc Honda Shadow, a pretty red color with just the right amount of chrome. I'm VERY excited about getting her!! I took her for a little ride last night and she feels perfect for me. I've named her "Ruby."

In other good news, a Keurig coffe maker that my sister found for me at a yard sale for $10 is up and running. The company sent a replacement part at no charge and it works beautifully now. I have wanted a Keuring coffee maker for years, but could never justify the initial expense. I'm hooked already!

Yesterday is good example of how things go for me. I plug along, with nothing exciting for days and days in a row, then suddenly -- BOOM! A great day! I need to remember that when days and days go by with nothing wonderful happening ...
