Just Checking In

Hi my lovely readers! I am just checking in to say hi. So HI!

I have been going to PT and doing my exercises at home, and at this point, I can say I don’t think I am getting worse anymore. That is actually an improvement for me. Although, I did have more pain today than yesterday after PT. I’m going to talk to Nicole about that tomorrow.

I am going to do What’s For Dinner Wednesday for tomorrow with a different recipe than I intended to last week. The previous recipe didn’t turn out quite the way I liked it, so I will tweak it some before I end up posting it.

I also want to try a few modifications on the Cowgirl Cookies that I think will make them more like the consistency I want them to be.

I have been playing around with a menu across the top of my blog, and I got it to work! The only problem is it’s grey and I can only change it to a few different colors on the drop-down menu for the plugin. I want it to be purple, but can’t figure out how to do it. Any HTML gurus out there? I really don’t want to drop $400-500 on web design when I don’t even make money off of my blog. Plus, I’ve done everything so far by myself, and I’m proud of it! That’s not to say I will never pay for web design…it’ll just have to be a little bit more reasonable than what I have found so far. Also, whenever I click on my homepage, the banner picture disappears after like 5 seconds. Is this happening to you guys? Then, if I click on the link to the post itself, the banner comes back. I have no idea how to fix this. Again, any experts out there wanna help a poor pharmacist with her HTML??

This is the story of my life lately. I am trying to reduce Ali’s calorie intake by substituting a handful of her food with no-salt added peas. She loves the peas, but somehow still feels the need to beg for food every hour. I am also planning on gradually transitioning her over to Blue Buffalo food, providing she’ll eat it. She’s a picky eater. She’ll protest and starve herself until dinner if she doesn’t like her food. We’ll see how that goes. I’ll keep you posted.

I’m not a huge fan of eating cucumbers, but I don’t mind a little in my water. I especially don’t mind it with a little bit of mint! I enjoy trying new ways to coax myself into drinking more water, especially during the summer. When I swim, I don’t always think to drink water-because I’m IN it. You know what I mean?

Speaking of swimming, I have gone to the Y to swim three times since Friday! It is a helluva good workout, and hard, too! I did 16 laps Friday, 12 on Sunday, and either 22 or 24 today. It’s really easy to lose count. Now I know why Michael Phelps is ripped.

Anyway, I am going to bed now, because I have a busy morning planned tomorrow. Meeting, PT, swimming, relaxing on my butt, icing my butt, and some more cooking. I’ll be sure to post the recipe from tomorrow’s dinner and the modified Cowgirl Cookies ASAP!

‘Til next time….

Happy Trails!
