Hiya! I'm sorry you didn't get free rein from the doctor. I'm sure you still need some healing time! I love salmon so much. I think I just enjoy it baked with lemon juice and dill. It's simple but yummy. I also like it baked, the put it in the fridge and let it get cold before turning it into salmon salad. I make it like tuna salad with celery, onion. boiled eggs and mayo. I love to eat it on lettuce. If you come up with something good, let me know. I'll be over for dinner! Food for the day: Breakfast: Kashi Go Lean oatmeal and sliced banana Morning snack: hard boiled egg Lunch: half of a shredded chicken burrito Afternoon snack: small piece of carrot cake - office birthday Dinner: hamburger patty wrapped in lettuce with pickles and onion Snack: NSA Fudgsicle Water: 54 ounces - need more tonight Vitamins: all in Exercise: nothing today My weekend plans include housework, homework, and work-work. That sounds like a lot of work! UGH! I also intend to hit the gym both Saturday and Sunday with hubby. Keep that foot up and enjoy your books! Did you get anything good to read? Hugs, Stephanie

Hiya Rebeka! I bet you did feel light. And feeling light is such a great feeling! I love being surprised in that way. Especially when it takes a minute to realize what just happened. I'm sure your daughter loves that you can be so active with her. Have a great weekend! Hugs, Stephanie

today was my 2 week check up.. even the doctor thought it was longer than 2 weeks :\ i dont know what I was expecting, maybe her to say ok you can drop the crutches and run out of here? nope... nothing.. she changed the dressing, said I can change it on my own for the next 3 weeks and she'll see me again then. I said.. can I do anything til then? she said, read a book? rest that foot missy! my only change is that in 2 weeks I can start flexing my big toe manually, holding it for 4-5 seconds, doing that a few times a day, that should subtract TONS of calories huh? lol I stopped at Macy's after my appt, HUGE sale, when I got there the parking lot was layers upon layers of ice, but I went in anyway.. My thought is I'm going back to work in 1.5 weeks, I need to get use to ice on the ground. besides, I can put some weight on my foot so its not like I'm balancing on 2 crutches with no extra support... stopped at the library for a couple books, I guess I'll take her advice! I realized I have a lot of wild salmon in the freezer so I took a packet out and am poking around for recipes, does anyone have a salmon recipe they enjoy? I'm always open for suggestions heres my food day so far.... morning coffee driving to the dr. aaaahhhhhh (dunkins, sf coconut syrup, x-milk) breakfast - 3 peanut butter balls lunch - 2 peanut butter balls and a green apple snack - a slice of cranberry, pecan bread (I bet this would make yummy french toast!) dinner - 3 oz. lemon pepper salmon snack - green apple and peanut butter vitamins - got them in water - working on my second 32 oz bottle exercise - shopping on crutches! So whats everyones weekend plans? anything exciting, getting some exercise in, relaxing from a long week? let us know!

Maybe it was because I hadn't had a protein shake in like...forever. It made me so sick for about 45 minutes, like if I had eaten cake! Shoulda had the cake!!! LOL, JK. At the end of the day I got off of it I went to my girlfriends and she had made shrimp ceviche! I had some, very little and I was full. Nights are hard for me, all the time is hard for me, who am I trying to kid? I have my monthly visitor now, I had gone without for over 10 years, I am so emotional and lonely. Sorry to let it all hang out.
