It is a work in progress.  I am going to change the template, I just need to find a good one :)  I also need a good follow widget.

I'm using WordPress and Bluehost.

Any thoughts on a good blogger template?

It'd take to long to tell you want I'm looking for, but any links would be great to look through for ideas!!

Trip to Trader Joe's...

Yes, I'm VERY excited about our first trip to Trader Joe's!  It's over an hour away and we have a small Mennonite run natural food store just up the street, so we really haven't had a total need to go.  But, now we rally want to.  We're heading down with all out cloth bags, two coolers and the minivan.  It'll b a nice big ole family trip!

I'm hoping to find some dairy free cheese to help me be more vegan.  Cheese is probably my biggest obstacle right now, but I wouldn't really call it an obstacle.  I'm just not ready to give it up!

We're leaving in about an hour, so if you happen to go to Trader Joe's regularly, anything we should know about or that you recommend??

Wellness Wednesday (Recipe!!!)

Yummmyyyy...I came home from work and PT to this beauty:

What's in it you ask?  Well, let me tell you...

All this goes in the crock-a-shit crockpot (ours really sucks):

32 ounces of veggie broth plus how ever much was left over from the open one in our fridge

6 medium potatoes

3 chopped up carrots (we used about 8 mini ones)

3 stalks of celery

Let it stew in the crockpot all.  day. long.

Then, eat!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Running you ask?  Well, I ran outside last night for two miles just to see what kind of new pain I'd wake up with this morning. And?  I didn't disappoint!  I had pain in my left groin all day!  Along with pain in my right ankle/ shin splinty type areas.  I wore an ankle sleeve all day and by this afternoon's PT appointment (I had trouble getting down the stairs this morning because of the shinny splinty crappola) I was good to go!  I still had the left groin pain, but if it's like the pain from the past two runs, it'll go away in another day or two (think DOMS type pain).  Of course I'm curious to see what pain will crop up tomorrow.  

Also?  I have an orthopedic doctor appointment next week to help figure out WTF is going on.  For now?  PT and running and dealing with the odd DOMS like aches that pop up!

Visited the Vampire yesterday...

So, my run on Friday at the PT's office went well, like said in the linked post.  And, just like the run on Monday, I had no pain at all...until the next morning when I woke up.  This time the pain was in my right adductor instead of my right groin.  Just like earlier in the week, the day after the pain started, it began to subside.  Really odd.  This time right after I woke up I scarfed down breakfast and went to the doctors.  They sent me right to the lab to get my blood work done.

What I hoped getting blood taken looked like

This is more what it looked like

The doctor's is closed today (it's Sunday) so I'm hoping they are open tomorrow because I want to know the results.  What are we looking for?  Well, my creatine levels to see if it's rhabdomyolysis like last August, and my electrolyte levels (I think) to make sure my kidneys are functioning properly.  Given the nature of what we're looking for, I really don't want to wait until Wednesday.  In the mean time, I'm drinking plenty of water like I did over the summer to flush out my system.  Yay peeing all the time!  Anyone know any good adult diapers?
