I have good news and bad news about my knee…
The bad news is – my physical therapist is moving to Canada in two weeks!!! Boo. I really like her too 🙁 and I have only been working with her for two weeks so far.
The good news is – both my PT and I are super motivated to get me back to running in two weeks! I’m very very excited to run again.
I have been good about not running, I even surprised myself! It was so tempting to bust out just a few miles when I was in CA, but I didn’t let myself. I know it would only set me back further. I wish I had that kind of willpower to avoid cookies!
Kickboxing this morning was wonderful. I really love that class 🙂 Since I don’t normally run with music it’s so fun to exercise to Lady Gaga – love it!
Then, I hit up Costco and TJ’s. I also stopped by Road Runner to take a picture of the pepper spray I have. This one is about $12.00. Here it is:
Lunch was quick and dirty – first I took my almost empty hummus container and filled it with lettuce, carrots, tomatoes, veggie burger, ketchup and more hummus.
Wa-la! Salad in a hummus container = Oats in a Jar (but for lunch)!
I also ate a serving and a half of Food Should Taste Good chips and some grapes while out and about.
After Physical Therapy I hit up Dunkin Donuts for a large iced coffee. I am dragging a bit today.
Then, I packed a PB&J sandwich to eat while babysitting. This sandwich is the perfect combo of satisfying and sweet. 
My big plans for this evening include eating dinner with my guy and relaxing. I’m excited for both!
I’m also excited to start planning my race calendar once I am cleared to run. I’m thinking May is a good time for a half marathon…
You can almost run!!!! I’m so happy for you!
That’s great that you’ll be running soon! Too bad your PT is moving to Canada … I’m worried about the day my PT has to move away. Her husband is in the military and she thinks they’ll be leaving soon.
I love Food Should Taste Good chips! They’re so hard to find where I am, though. I always stock up when I find them. 🙂

Cheers to two more weeks! Thanks for posting the running pepper spray. I am going to ask my running store if they have it in stock.
Monica! I´m so happy for you!
Only two more weeks! 😀
Delicious eats, as always. I´ve always wanted to try a PB+J…
Maybe when I go back to the U.S…
😉
Have a great weekend, girl!
Brazilian XOXO´s,

Random Question: Do you LOVE your red hair? My fiance and his sister both have (well, he had- is now bald) gorgeous red hair. He hates it, I LOVE IT! You are just like his sister- a gorgeous redhead. Just curious as to whether or not you love it.
Apologies for my total randomness! haha!

I love it, but my brother hated it. He even tried to dye it brown in high school (it looked maroon). I think it’s harder for boys with red hair.
Oh yea- Ryan would kill me if he saw this, but he used to get highlights! Mind you, he rocked that long-curly-baseball-player-messy look, which he loved, just hates being, as he calls it, a ginger! 🙂 I’m glad you embrace how hot it is! 🙂

You are going to be SO happy when you can run again! I’m so excited for you! 🙂
