Needing Some Help...

Like last blog said, I am in a bit of pain. It hasn't gotten better and I am really hating the crutches still. I am not going to rant about it today though. I am dealing with it and I literally have the best boyfriend in the entire world. So instead of ranting about how awful life is at the moment because I know it will get better after time.

The boy however has been wonderful! He holds my hand and comforts me when I am crying from the pain. He has been waking up in the middle of the night to take care of me and help me go to the bathroom (I know it sounds kinda weird, but you try walking on crutches in the middle of the night half asleep lol) He has literally taken place for my left leg and I don't know what I would be doing without him.

Now the dieting, I am trying to keep track and focus on it still (if we are being honest though it has been put on the back burner a little bit) but this drinking water business is hard! Its hard because like I said before it really hard to get up and go to the bathroom. Work was the "easy" place to drink most of the water but that bathroom is even further then the one at home. It takes me about ten minutes to crutch to the bathroom and ten back. Now, when you are at work that is a long time to be away from your desk. I am going to keep working on it.

Good luck! Hope everyone's week is going better than mine.

Well This Sucks...

I am realizing more every time I post it is more for me than for anyone. So this is my little rant... THIS SUCKS!!! I can't do anything anymore, I just lay here and lay here and lay here. Before I would have given anything for a weekend to do nothing, but once that wish is granted it sucks. I know I should probably thesaurus another word for sucks but that is the only word that describes how I feel right now.

I can finally bend my leg a little bit, but then its a little bit stuck. I can't put it straight like at all without some serious pain. All I can do is walk on my stupid crutches and lay here with it elevated. I am getting bruises on my palms and arm pits from the stupid crutches, and little sores on my leg from the leg brace. Ok, I am gonna hop off this pity train, sorry about the rant.

I weigh in tomorrow and I know its not going to be exactly what I want to see, and honestly I am hoping I can get on the scale. I haven't quite figured out how I am going to step up on it without the crutches, but I will figure it out.

Good Luck on a new week!

A Bit of BAD News

So 2 months ago I slipped and fell. I felt my leg bend the wrong way to the side and it hurt REAL bad! The Dr. told me to give it a week and if it didn't feel better we would take an MRI. It did feel better, and I thought great that means it wasn't that bad! So I stopped wearing the brace and everything was fine, until yesterday. Getting out of the car last night I felt something pop out again, I was obviously getting out of the car so all of my weight was on that one leg. I ended up falling onto the driveway and as I landed I felt my knee pop back into place. But I was stuck in the driveway :( and can't move my leg or put any pressure on it.
My mom was talking to me / calming me down last night and she said well at least your taking the right steps to lose weight so it will be easier on my knees. Then I started to cry more because I know that I can't work out at all until my leg heals :(
Anyways, I went to the dr. today and we took more x-rays, I found out that I dislocated my kneecap and sprained my collateral ligament. I basically have to wear my leg brace for two weeks, which means I can't move it, I also have to be on stupid crutches for those 2 weeks. Then a follow up visit is going to be with an orthopedic doctor, so hopefully this doesn't happen EVER again!

I will try and keep truckin' and try to keep a really close eye on my calorie intake and drinking all of my water.

Workin On It...

Well the week of blogging about my journey may be helping... it is keeping me kinda focused. I weighed in today and lost another 2 pounds. That makes my total so far 7 pounds. Now after 4 weeks I feel like I should notice a difference or feel a difference, but I don't. I wish I did though.

So onto a new week, and I think this week is going to be equally hard being 4th of July and all. I am going to try to stay focused, but it is a holiday so I am not going to be a crazy person. I don't want to start denying myself things that I enjoy, I have been there done that and it failed.

I don't have very much to say today, but maybe more after the holiday! :) Happy 4th Everyone!
