Thanks for the cheer ups from yesterday’s post.  I can look pretty sad if I want to, and I am not above using it on John at times 😈

I am done with the feeling bad, though.  I now declare my attitude to be:

Whining is not radiant, and that’s what I want to be.  It’s just going to take as long as it takes.  I should see about some PT.  My doctor basically said to work on regular activities and my injury would let me know how far to take it.  I have ordered a foam roller today.

You know what Wednesdays are!  We went to Panera today.  Doesn’t this case look good?

I had myself a blueberry bagel.  Yum, yum.

Nice relaxing breakfast. Then it was time for work.  My work partner today:

She slept next to me for 7 straight hours while I worked.  Lazy, lazy cat.

Lunch time and I felt like a smoothie.  So I made a protein shake with banana flavored protein powder, some pumpkin, and some Kellogg’s Bran Buds (which I got as part of Food Buzz Tastemaker program), with ice and water and a pinch of glucomannan.

Pretty good.  Not totally sold on the banana flavor protein powder; it was pretty strong.  I also had a side of steamed broccoli with nutritional yeast, aka nooch.

Tastes just like parmesan cheese my a**!!  I did not care for the taste of it, although I like the nutritional stats.  Smells funktacular, too.  I have a big bag to use up.  Eeep!

Latte time!

After work, I did a strength workout with the gym in a bag with biceps, triceps, chest and back exercises.  My back actually feels pretty much normal now, it’s just my leg.  I tried doing some pushups, but my leg couldn’t support me, so those are out for a bit still.  I also did a longer walk today, but I took the crutches so I could rest on them (which was a good idea).  Getting there!

Dinner time involved lots of color!

Yum.  These strawberries are so darn good.  Almost gone, too.

Last night I practiced my guitar for the first time in months.  My fingertips hurt LOL!  I am going to try to go 5 days a week of practice.  Part of an effort to be a little more unplugged.  I am working on the classical style of guitar – why I try learning the hardest style is beyond me.  Guess it is because I like it 😀   I would love to be like Sharon Isbin, whom we saw in concert.

Evening snacktations for movie time!

Granny Smith that I cut the middle out of and microwaved for a couple minutes.  Then I mixed some ricotta cheese with bran buds, cinnamon and agave and stuffed in the middle.  This is pretty good!

Ever tried nutritional yeast? I need help with ideas!
