Hi guys!\u00a0 I was in bed by 10:30 last night but so could have gone to bed earlier.\u00a0 I was passing out around 9:30.\u00a0 We were watching a Pens game and since the playoffs start this week, I want to try and get caught up.\u00a0 So I forced myself to stay up to finish the game.\u00a0 It was actually a really crappy game against the Panthers.\u00a0 Do folks in Florida not like hockey?\u00a0 Good lord every time I see a Panthers, and especially a Lightening game, there are so many empty seats.\u00a0 The Panthers have the dumbest uniforms (sorry guys, but you really do!) and I can’t help but laugh whenever they play the “growl” noise for them.<\/p>\n

Alright, enough picking on the Panthers! ;)<\/p>\n

I woke up last night around 4am for a potty run and I was starving. :O\u00a0 My stomach was going to town making noises.\u00a0 I loved my dinner last night but it left me feeling not fully satisfied.\u00a0 I have come to realize that I need more veggies with my dinner.\u00a0 Or at least one veggie that provides some good fiber bulk.\u00a0 I can do a big bunch of greens, but anything else I need lots of and variety.\u00a0 Like carrots, zucchini, and beans or something like that.\u00a0 Fries are yummy, but even with sweet potato fries, I need something more.<\/p>\n

I got up this morning shortly after 7am and got Rocky taken care of as quickly as possible since it was raining.\u00a0 I passed up breakfast and coffee and instead started working right away.\u00a0 I also iced my knee.\u00a0 Finally I couldn’t take it anymore and got up to make some breakfast.\u00a0 I woke Scott up early this morning so he could have a warm breakfast and not have to reheat it later (which while tasty isn’t nearly as good).<\/p>\n

\"mmmm\"<\/a>

mmmm<\/p><\/div>\n

I made oatbran!\u00a0 With the last our bananas too.\u00a0 I guess we will have to make a quick stop today and pick up some more.\u00a0 Oh oatbran what a perfect breakfast for this dreary rainy morning.\u00a0 Basic oatbran with crushed walnuts, cranberries, and a small scoop of cashew butter.\u00a0 I haven’t been feeling the dark chocolate PB<\/abbr> lately so I’m passing the time until I can get some more vanilla almond butter.\u00a0 Mmmm<\/p>\n

Breakfast was awesome and the coffee was okay.\u00a0 Not nearly the creamy goodness it was yesterday.\u00a0 I busted out some laundry and some stuff to on my to-do list, then it was time to head over to PysT!\u00a0 But first, I ate this:<\/p>\n

\"Orange<\/a>

Orange mix <\/p><\/div>\n

I was a tad bit hungry but didn’t need lunch, just something quick to hold me over.\u00a0 An orange and some bear naked trail mix.\u00a0 Perfect!<\/p>\n

My first session when really well.\u00a0 It was just a basic information gathering type of session.\u00a0 The PysTherapist was very nice and her name was Caroline.\u00a0 She evaluated my leg and had me walk around so she could take a peek at my stride.\u00a0 My shoes are good but I could use just an extra bit of cushion so I’m going to look for some inserts.\u00a0 She also gave me some band exercises to do that I can do at home on days that I’m not at PysT.\u00a0 Basically it’s a lot of stretching and strengthening type of things.<\/p>\n

I will be able to do the 1\/2 for sure!\u00a0 She said that I was in really good shape because I’m not feeling or having any pain, it’s just an ache.\u00a0 And the snapping\/popping is all because the IT band is tight.\u00a0 My last long run will be around 10 miles before the 1\/2 and at this point I’m okay with that.\u00a0 As long as I will be able to run this half, I am happy.<\/p>\n

She also suggested a foam roller but where do I get one?\u00a0 Can I just hit up Target or whatever and buy foam? :o<\/p>\n

And I had my first ultrasound!<\/p>\n

It’s a knee!!\u00a0 In case you were curious. ;)\u00a0 I get ultrasound treatments around my knee to help heal the area faster and take down the inflammation.\u00a0 It was very cool to experience and very relaxing.\u00a0 Uh, can we get ultrasound massages?\u00a0 That would be awesome!<\/p>\n

So I’m in good shape and she’s pretty confident that I can get through this.\u00a0 Hooray!!<\/p>\n

After my PysT session, we headed over to WF<\/abbr> for a quick stop and lunch pickup.<\/p>\n

\"Pizza<\/a>

Pizza bites <\/p><\/div>\n

Scott had pizza that I had a few bites of. :blush:\u00a0 Normally I don’t care for their pizza but they must have changed the sauce out because this was really good!\u00a0 Before I thought their pizza sauce was too sweet.<\/p>\n

\"veg<\/a>

veg love <\/p><\/div>\n

\"spicy<\/a>

spicy shrimp <\/p><\/div>\n

On the plate for me, is sesame broccoli, Thai slaw, and tomato&cucumber salad.\u00a0 That gigantic space on the right held leftover salmon with cream cheese on pumpernickle.\u00a0 However upon tasting it, it seemed a little off.\u00a0 I tossed it and pulled out the sushi that I bought.\u00a0 Spicy shrimp with brown rice and cucumber.\u00a0 It was good!\u00a0 I had two rolls and all of the other veggies.\u00a0 I realized that I can only hand a small amount of sushi before it starts tasting blah and making me feel icky.<\/p>\n

We had a really late lunch and Scott also had a work issue come up.\u00a0 His work issue meant we weren’t going to make MT<\/abbr> class this evening.\u00a0 Booo!\u00a0 The rain had briefly stopped and I was going to run Rocky out for a walk but then it picked back up again and was pouring.\u00a0 I changed into my jammies and put my robe on.\u00a0 Oh yeah!\u00a0 Then I set about to do this post and I asked Scott to make some decaf because I wanted a drink.\u00a0 Mmmm<\/p>\n

\"decaf<\/a>

decaf time <\/p><\/div>\n

So I’m sipping on this and finishing up this post.\u00a0 The rain may have stopped again, so I’ll see if I can get Rocky outside quick.\u00a0 He’s going stir-crazy being stuck inside.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
