Slow & Steady Wins the Race :-)

One week down.... 5 (hopefully!) to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Weighed myself today with one shoe, all my clothes, and the plaster cast (all that has to weigh at least 1 pound if not 2-3), and it was 141, which made me happy, as I have been very concerned about gaining lots of weight during this whole ordeal.  If I can just stay around 140 I'll be happy.  I definitely miss the flexibility of that extra 500 calories I get to eat a day from running/working out/ just walking places!  Its definitely a challenge to eat only 1,400 calories a day, and it definitely eliminates any treat, even fake treats like my sugar free pudding on a caramel corn rice cake.  Or a cadbury egg, which I am dying for today!

Happy Easter to all! 

Day 8. I am desperately trying to get ahold of a free or <$40 exercise bike off of craigslist. No one emails me back!  I need to do SOMETHING!

Day 11.

 Reading every one's blogs made me so sad that I'm not running.  And the weather has been soo nice lately and its supposed to be 70 this weekend! My tulips are growing!  They're the first thing I've ever grown!  I'm just sad I'm no longer progressing and not running the marathon.  Woeess me. :-)

MRI tomorrow.  Hopefully it will show nothing - that it was a stress fracture and not something a lot scarier.  I did go back and read that as far back as March 2nd I complained about my left shin (though I was complaining about my SHIN not my ankle, though I'm no doctor!).

Stupid craiglist guy is screwing me over, he posted his free exercise bike and I snagged it and was supposed to go pick it up tonight and now I think he is having second thoughts (probably wants to sell it instead of giving it away).  But I really really really want an exercise bike! :-)

Day 12.  Had my MRI today.  Man I'm glad I didn't have to go all the way in the machine, they let me go feet first and only my legs in there.  I would not have enjoyed being in there - the space was SO tiny.  And if those sounds and having to hold completely still isnt' something to make a perfectly normal person want to have a panic attack, I don't know what is!
