Excellent day today! Swelling is down a fraction and I was feeling good today. Over the past few days I have had two milkshakes...through a straw!! I also ate crab cakes last night and it only took 20 minutes. After a successful shoe shopping trip with the mama lady (post surgery presents to yourself are a must) we went to lunch. I ordered macaroni and cheese but the noodles were too al-dente so I had to get mashed potatoes instead. I had them but cheese on top and boy oh by they were amazing! It is so nice to have some normal food in my stomach again. Mashed potatoes and milkshakes...it could be worse right?!
I also did yoga AND went back to the gym yesterday. It was a lower body lifting day: I took it easy and went very light and i still struggled. It's crazy how much muscle you can lose in a few weeks. My dead lift went down 35 pounds! Even though I'm hurting today it feels good to be active again.
Well I'm off to see my hash friends (for those of you who are unfamiliar with this term, google hash house harriers). One day when I'm back to running, I will explain to you how I got my hash name...
You look so beautiful daughter lady! I can't believe that it has only been 1 month. I still remember the 1st 10 days of misery. You are a trooper! And you deserve the shoes with the "red" soles!!!
