My Recovery Begins

I had my my surgery yesterday and it went really well. I do have a really long recovery time. I have to be non-weight baring on my leg for 6 - 8 weeks. My family and friends have been great helping me along.

Have to Rethink My Training Plan

I went to the surgeon today and I have injured my right ankle so badly that I am having surgery tomorrow. I wonder why this is happening to me when I was taking such positive steps to improving my health. One thing that is a concern is my bone density and calcium intake. I have to take a calcium supplement and I will be going for bone density test in a few weeks. I am breaking bones way to easily so it is a concern. I will be sure to continue to share my progress on my road to recovery.

My Journey....Derailed Again!

I managed to fall and fracture my right leg and ankle. It is so bad that I have to have surgery. I can not bare weight on my foot. I go to the surgeon on Monday to find out when I will have my surgery. Once I see the surgeon I will have a better idea on how long I will be out of commission. I am so sad about this. I need to do all I can to keep up my spirits until I am healed.

Traveling....

I had to go on a business trip. I have to say that I did pretty well with my eating today and I did go to the gym at the hotel. I am down a couple more pounds! One more week and I can start my walking routine again.

A great day

I spent the day with family and friends and it was great. Some people who I have seen in a little while said I look like I have lost weight. Definitely made me feel good. It also definitely gives me great motivation. I have been biking every day but I can't wait until I can start my run/walk routine again.

More good news today

I went back to the doctor today and my foot is healing nicely. I am now able to wear my shoes! I am very excited about it. I still have to do low impact workouts for a couple weeks and then I can start walking again. It will still be several weeks until I can run again, but this is definitely another good step in the right direction.

Back to the doctor tomorrow....

I go back to the doctor tomorrow and I am hopeful that I will be cleared to start doing my walking routine again. I have a stationary bike in my family room I have been using, but I just want to get out there. I have friends that are training and I feel like I am way behind in the training. My weight is staying the same. Hopefully on Monday, I will have shed a few pounds!

Not a lot of change

My weight stayed the same this week. I should have figured that would happen since I was not able to do my run/walk routine. But it did not go up so that is a positive. I did borrow a stationary bike from my family so I can do that now. I am doing 45 minutes right now each day and I am hoping I will have a nice loss next week.
