Hello folks! Started off the day with one of my favorite breakfasts from the guide: Scambled egg on a piece of whole wheat toast, topped with a slice of lowfat cheese. Man is that good going down in the morning. After that I got the kiddies off on the bus and came back home to straighten up the house a bit…..and continue the job hunt. Around 9:30 I tried to do a little bit of exercise. The doc said low impact, so I modified a few things. Instead of all the jumping around or trying to put pressure on one foot I used my own personal touches for the time being. I’d hate to quit now!!!!! So I used a chair to distribute my weight a little better. Instead of going up on the balls of my feet to do certain squats I stayed flat. I made sure to wear my brace and shoes at all times!!!! No pain so far. I still did my abs as well. No need for feet there LOL! So after what I thought was a productive 20 mins, I took my dog for a walk. Then I came back and had an apple with some almonds. I am loving these snack breaks! My body is really getting used to this kind of treatment. A little while later I had some lunch. A turkey burger with a side salad. I must say, I like the turkey burgers better than some regular hamburges I’ve had. They have a lot of flavor!!! Once lunch was over I went to the local animal shelter. I am giving thought to getting a kitten. We already have a Golden Retriever, so we wanted to do something that would get along well after some supervised visits. Found a beautiful maine coon kitten with an obscene amount of toes. Cutest thing I’ve ever seen. I think we are going to get her tomorrow. Any suggestions on names (oh, and she likes to sleep with some of the pitbulls at the shelter!)? Once that was done I had to bring my van to my husband’s work so he could fix the power steering line. Damn ting blew after he ust put in $200 to fix the brakes and rotors!!!! I had some low fat pretzels while I waited on that. Dinner was great!!! Some seasoned baked chicken breasts with wild rice and asperagus!!!!! Mouth watering, let me tell you! After the kids headed off to bed I went to the store to get some supplies for the new addition. This should be exciting!
So that about wraps up day 14. I will be here tomorrow filling you in on the next big thing. I am feeling great, so I am going to keep up the exercise as long as I’m not hurting myself. There are ways to modify these programs so you aren’t as intense. I don’t want to back down. I want to get the full experience of this thing!!!
