I've been staying strong and each day is getting a little easier. I don't crave the sugar after dinner like I used to. I can't believe I'm only going to be eating 6 desserts over the course of these 6 weeks. I LOVE dessert and used to eat something sweet at least once a day. As my mom knows, in the past, if there were no sweets in the house like cookies, brownies, etc. , I would eat chocolate chips! I really wish I could be working out during this time. If I was able to workout, I'm sure I'd see results faster. The good thing about not working out is that I don't get as hungry as I do when I'm working out, therefore I don't have to eat as much food. I would def have to be coming up with more food options if I was working out. Nik's been making some awesome dinners!
As far as my knee rehab..I've been kinda down about my progress because I'm limping. I was honest with Tim (my PT) about my concerns and he was really encouraging and helpful. I saw progress from last Thur to yesterday which was good. Part of my problem is my confidence in my knee and in my head. Something that doesn't help my confidence is stupid comments that people make (at work). Yesterday some there was a major issue with some students outside and a co-worker asked me to go get her cell phone. I was on my way there and someone yelled "you want me to go so we can get the phone faster?" Then today someone said "It looks like Erin is ready to run a race." Then someone else so "No, it looks like she's ready to walk slow." I know people are just trying to help or be funny, but its hard because they have NO IDEA what the process is like when you're trying to get your mobility back.
