Knee appears to be patching up OK, so a few more days of wrapped cardio and I think it'll be good. Thank goodness! Can only handle one injury at a time, and until this shoulder thing resolves, everything else is forbidden. You hear that? Forbidden.

Took the meds, up two lbs.

B - French toast w/ eggbeaters and light bread
S - Grapes, watermelon
L - Leftover turkey and black bean chili
S - Protein Shake
D - Chicken and long bean stirfry, brown and wild rice
S - NSA Ice Cream

E - 75 min cardio crammed in between meetings - busy day.

Amanda, glad the knee is improving!

I feel like such a slacker this month. I haven't been doing much other than NRLW and a run or bike ride on the weekend. My goggles broke two weeks ago and I haven't bought new ones yet and haven't been swimming. I'm going to take DH's goggles with me this weekend and try to fit in a hotel pool swim, but those hotel pools are so tiny you might as well not bother.

Thursday:
B - raisin bran, skim milk
L - leftover korean meatballs, veggies, rice
S - pear, lf string cheese
D - @work open house - coleslaw, little bit of baked beans, little bit of pulled pork, grilled chicken w/bbq sauce on bun (also lettuce, tomato), two cookies
E - yoga class, half of NRLW S1W6B

2 days of pain meds, back up 4 lbs. Going to try to go off again tonight.

Yesterday, I skipped the protein shake - but then ate a cookie. No, not the best substitute. But yesterday, cookies were delivered to me office for a good job on a project we'd done. I work from home, so no temptation there, but they sent out a photo of the pile-o-cookies and they looked REALLY good. Which sparked a mondo major cookie craving. I told this to Sarah, and she drove an hour out of her way to bring me a cookie on her way home (she had to go an hour to get a good cookie, instead of a supermarket cookie, from the natural foods co-op). I ate half right then, and half crumbled onto my dessert. Happy splurge. She actually bought several, so we put the remainder in the freezer.
