Friday night I was looking forward to my usual swim. All day I had been worried about my knee and I was skeptical that I could even swim. So when I got to the pool I was a bit apprehensive. I took it easy and let my body tell me what I could do.<\/p>\n

I was able to swim my normal routine for the most part. I started with Freestyle and did that for half a mile. Normally I’d switch to Breast Stroke at that point. It hurt my knee. \ud83d\ude41 I decided doing a limited swim routine was better than doing nothing, so I switched things up a bit. I grabbed my swimming buoy and swam Freestyle without using my legs.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Then I did normal Freestyle, then switched to Freestyle with the buoy and hand paddles.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After swimming my new routine (1.25 miles total) I sat in the hot tub for about 15 minutes. It felt WONDERFUL on my knee. My doctor had recommended I use the hot tub after swimming to help soothe it. It worked. I got to the car and my stomach was growling. I knew I wouldn’t make it home –I was so starving! I always have some snacks in the car “just in case” and I devoured a mini box of Cheerios.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>When I got home I checked the mail on my way in and saw this:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Yeah. Perfect timing! Thanks so much! I was starting to feel down again and as I moped to the house, I saw this:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Instant smile!<\/p>\n

When I walked into the house I saw that Michael had dinner almost ready for me. He also had some snacks and a glass of wine ready for me. The snacks were awesome: garlic and jalapenos stuffed green olives! YUM! I munched on the olives and sipped my wine while I waited for dinner.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Michael grilled up some rosemary chicken to go with the cheese ravioli.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>It was a small piece of chicken and a serving of the ravioli.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I grated some fresh Parmesan cheese on top of the ravioli after Michael drizzled some olive oil on it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>It was a great dinner!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>We watched the latest Top Chef episode and a few episodes of Entourage. I elevated my legs and used my brace for support. I had about 500 calories left for the day and I really wanted some dessert.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I baked the last of the mini chocolate chip cookies for dessert.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Fat Kitty tried to eat our cookies!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Sneaky little monkey!<\/p>\n
