Knee Update

I went back to the doctor today to have my knee looked at. I was really hopeful that he would say "Oh, you are fine to go back 100%" but obviously I knew that wasn't going to happen. Though it has gone down considerably I still have pain. So running--- probably not the best choice. So here's the deal.

Since it's getting better, I am able to expand what I am doing at the gym.The two things he said I could probably start trying: Spinning and Stairs. I'm gonna go ahead and say that spinning means the bike, not spinning class (which I've never tried because it terrifies me). I'm not sure if you know this, but I HATE THE STAIRS. I mean... HAAAAAAAAAAAAAATE! Megan used to make me do them when she was mad at me or was just in a torturous mood. Or wanted to laugh and remind me of the time she made me get on a broken machine and I tried to outrun it which really just led to me falling down them resulting in many many bruises. *sigh* SO ACCIDENT PRONE!

I'm excited, but still apprehensive about this. So I'll start out slow. I may try some walking on the treadmill. The 2 major activities in question: Hip Hop and Aqua Boot Camp. As far as Hip Hop is concerned, I guess I'll just have to play it by ear this week and see how my knee is feeling. Hopefully I can be back next week for sure.

So there's that. I'm getting better... slowly but surely. :)

Okay off to work on slideshow stuff. WEE! Hope you all had a great Monday!

May Foodie PenPals

For this month, I was matched up with Gina over at  Health, Love and Chocolate  and let me say, she did a wonderful job!!!!  She sent a lot of really great snack foods, which I have to admit I haven't tried a lot of it. Mainly due to the fact that I haven't been working out like I usually do. But these snacks make GREAT pre-workout snack, especially if you are a busy busy on-the-go kinda person like I am! One of my favorites was the LUNA bar. It was delicious and the perfect size! I'm gonna have to start buying these! YUMMMMMM! Probably my favorite in the entire box was the Teriyaki Dried Chicken Breast. SO GOOD! I actually ate it as a snack yesterday when I was sitting in the van with the kids waiting for the rain to subside so we could go tour the farm! Poor kids wanted to have some but I didn't want to share. :) (They didn't starve- they had vanilla wafers... that a squirrel later got into, but that's a different story) It was AMAZ

September Foodie Pen Pals

Check out all these delicious treats! Let's take a break from all the depression talk and let's talk food! I haven't done Foodie Pen Pals in quite some time and I thought this could be a good opportunity during this season in my life to have some food while my energy is low. This month I was matched up with Jen over at  The Happy Healthy Balance  and boy, did she spoil me! Most of the things she sent me were from Trader Joe's which made me laugh. The closest Trader Joe's is 36 miles away. Sad face. But my family has had an obsession with that store for years. My brother first introduced it to us when he lived in St Louis (I think) and since then we always get TJ food for Christmas, birthdays, what have you. Good thing they have them in LA. Come on Fort Collins, catch up! If anyone asked me I would say I am not a picky eater. As it turns out, when other people pick out my food, my pickiness tends to come out. A lot of the stuff Jen sent me is not stuff I

March Foodie Pen-Pals

This was my first time ever doing Foodie PenPals. When I heard about it I thought it sounded like a GREAT idea. It surpassed everything I ever imagined! I received a box from Adrianne. It was also her first time doing FPP. I was super excited to receive her box! :) I'd had a really bad day, so arriving home to my box was such a mood lifter. You can see in my face it had been a rough day :) Adrianne had put together a beautiful St Patrick's Day box for me. Do you see all that green?? CONTENTS OF THE BOX Look at all that!!! I was AMAZED at all the things she fit in that box. So many great things that excited me SO MUCH. :)  The first was Azteca Granola made by Adrianne. It was delicious! The mixture of sweet, salty and spicy was wonderful. I will be making this in the future. It would be great as a present for friends or something to bring to a potluck (I'm thinki
