Multiplicity1's Journal, 18 Oct 10

I got back from my retreat yesterday. I had a few minor slip ups. I ate two kalamata olive rolls and three tiny pinches less than 1/4 of a bite of a chocolate dessert that was called crack. I wish I hadn't messed up at all but at least it didn't cause any cravings. I am now back on my plan of going back on Induction plus nuts for two weeks again. I am also actually cooking some recipes. I made one today and bought ingredients fro another today. Last night my husband made a new recipe that called for chicken breasts with buttered slivered almonds and Camenbert cheese. The cheese cost over $10 but it was incredible and I am going to use it for an omelet tonight. I made a recipe of Chinese vegetables but it was a bit bland. It did have a lot of veggie carbs though so it helps me to avoid my boring every day salad routine.
Still no referral for my husband to Vanderbilt. I was struggling to type because my daughter's cat just crawled into my lap. I petted her for a while then pushed her down so I could type. Now I have cat hair all over my keyboard.
I am happy to report that my foot is finally doing better so I am going to try to start walking again beginning tomorrow. I really miss the stress reduction. I walk a little bit with the puppy now but not for 45 minutes at a time usually just for 15 minutes or so. Zeta is doing great. She has her bandage off now and her leg and foot seems to be doing fine. We did find out from the vet that she had actually fractured some toes in the door accident in addition to her leg. That made me feel awful. At first her leg did seem to bother her but now she is walking on hard and soft surfaces just fine and running upstairs without showing any discomfort at all. I think we are going to buy a harness to walk her. I think it will give us more control over her as we are trying to teach her to heel. She pulls like crazy. She is eating all her food every meal now and some snacks also. I need to do some obedience work with her tonight.
I haven't gotten anything done yet today but Zeta should be going to bed soon so I will work on my exercises and my other activities then. Now I need to go say hi to all my buddies.
