So I have new running gear!!

My left knee has been bothering me for a while so two weeks ago I went to see my doctor about it.  He said there's a tendon that is funny because of my crooked knee cap. Awesome.  So I get to wear this brace that has an insert on the left side in the shape of a J to help push my knee cap.  My knee feels better running but still hurts and does weird things when I'm just walking around and kills me when I go upstairs.  I have a hard time with some squats to strengthen my quads so I'm sure I'll have to go see a knee surgeon eventually.  It just sucks because that costs more money, so I don't know.  My runs have been crappy lately and I don't know if it's me or my watch.  The watch will say that my heartrate all of a sudden will go up to 166 or in the 170's when I'm barely jogging.  As soon as I walk again it drops to the 120's. The other day it got over 200. What the heck? I had the batteries checked and they are fine. I need to look online and talk to the company that made it. It's not that old for crying out loud but it's super frustrating because it screws up my calorie count.  Garg!! I can't win someday's.

So we've been trying to modify our mortgage loan all year and they finally came back and approved a fifty dollar a month drop.  Okay. That's not really helping but whatever. Now I gotta see if I can put money away every week to save up to pay it.  Although, I've been trying that since July.  It's frustrating and I'm trying to stay positive and trying to stress out too much but it's hard because I don't know where we'll be in 6 months.  

On a happy note someone dropped off a fifty dollar gift card to us tonight while we were at the Walker Cousins Christmas party. So thank you secret Santa or angel.  That will help the next time I go grocery shopping.  Also a few weeks back I went to Sarah's to measured and the biggest drop this time was my body fat %.  It's down to 29.8% so I am officially in the overweight category.   My BMI is down to 26.6.  Awesome, Awesome.  I'm also down to 153 so that's 72 pounds gone.  I was hoping to be down to 150 this week but alas, Aunt Flo is on the way.  Ariel is waiting to steal my lappy so I will say goodnight.  Sorry it's been so long. I've been busy with little things.
