Remember how I wrote that blog about not falling of my regimins for a year, no matter what came up? Well, I was thinking that my challenges would be things like a music festival where I really wanted to drink alot or perhaps a really yummy chocolate cake somewhere. I didn't think that anything like breaking my leg would come up.
Can I just say that it is worse than I ever thought it would be? The break hurt, yes, but the interupption to life, and the dependence this causes is crazy. Before I got my kneeling walker with basket, I attempted crutches, which I am really bad at. To demonstrate the dependence that this causes, I had my friend boil me some eggs, so I could keep my protein up and have breakfast ready. When I got to the kitchen in the morning though, I realized that I could not carry the eggs anywhere or stand up for long enough to peel-n-eat them. It would be so easy to just flop down on the sofa and order pizzas.
But I said it and I meant it. For a year. No matter what.
I should also mention that a part of how I am able to continue with this, is the willingness of my friends to bring me brown rice and chicken instead of comfort casseroles, that I know would be easier. I need healthy food for my healing more than ever now, and it is nice to have so many people invested in this goal with me. Extra special thanks to Nora for starting my food tree.

I've never eaten so well, or felt so loved.
All the love. All the time.
