I wrote this on WW board today
So as many of you may already know, I broke my leg 6 weeks ago. I am in an air cast an not very mobile. I was off WW for a bit and decided recently to get back on track.I started tracking again and making good choices.
The next step was I was going to start doing some working out, mainly upper body since lower doesnt move much....well that plan has gone down the pooper for a while!!!
I started having some hip pain a couple of weeks ago. No big deal, it would be there for about 30 mins and be gone. This monday after work i noticed that it was getting bad. Getting harder to walk with the crutches and even while sitting when I would try to reposition myself I would get a shooting pain through my hip and butt. So no activity monday like i had planned
Went to bed, had a horrible sleep, and couldnt even get out of bed the next morning. So no movement really at all tuesday.
Yesterday same thing, so I went to the doctor. She figures because I have been using crutches for so long and my right leg is up in the air all the time that my hip is out of placement and causing muscle pains and pinched nerves.I am now taking medication that makes me drowsy to help with pain and inflammation.
I cant get up easily to be active. I cant get my own food... Its just so discouraging!I just want to be able to walk again!!!!
sorry for the long post...just wanted to get som frustration out.
This whole broken leg thing is just getting tiring and a pain in the but. I cant go where I want, do what I want because I am pretty much stuck in my house. My mom can drive me, but really I dont want to ask her to drive me everywhere, plus she has a broken arm and she needs rest as well.....
UGGHH!!!!
I need to get active so I can fit into my dress...i dont want to have to buy a new one.

First WI in a while
So with the whole broken leg thing I haven't been able to hop onto a scale.
I weighed myself last night and I wasn't too surprised with the result.
I weighed in at 248.3.
So in 2 months I gained just under 4lb, but 5 of those weeks I have been sitting or laying down most of the day doing nothing. I can totally accept this weight gain and I am actually happy with it. I just didn't want to be over 250.
I started tracking again on Wednesday and I am noticing that I am having difficulties. Its just that I am not used to it, and having troubles making some foods. I can only stand for so long, since 248lb is a lot of weight to put on one foot. I am trying my best and I think after a few weeks I will get back into the flow.
I am ready to go!!!

I'M BACK
well sorta....
It's neem just about 5 weeks since I broke my leg and I think I am ready to start tracking again. I am more able to make my own food now and not in any pain so I think this is a good time!! :)
I am not sure if I am going to WI much since i have the aircast on but we will see. I may be able to pull it off! :)
Also I am not able to work out so much. I can do upper body stuff with the hand weights, as well as crunches so I will do that to get at least a little bit of activity in.
I feel good about this. I have felt so out of the loop for a while....so its a good time to get back to it. I am afraid that I gained weight and wont fit into my wedding dress anymore and I cant let that happen!!!
