Hello, and happy Friiiiiiday!! Today is an extra special day for me because it’s walking day!
Yep, after one whole month of not being able to put any weight on my right foot, I can finally start putting some weight on it when I’m wearing my boot. It’s pretty sexy, no
Of course the transition to walking is not going to be easy, and so far list to data I have been taking things slow by walking using two crutches, and only putting some weight on my foot. My hope is that within the next few days I will be able to transition to using one crutch, and then no crutches, but from what I’ve read online this can take anywhere from a few days to a week or so. Sigh.
As much as I wish I could just hop into my boot and get going, I know I have to be patient with this last part of my recovery! I have another doctor’s appointment on Tuesday and at that point I should have a better idea of how long I’ll need to be in my boot for (probably a while, unfortunately). You know I’ll keep you guys posted!
Anyway, since today’s Friday let’s talk about some
of my favorite moments from the week in today’s Favorite Things Friday posts!
Favorite Change
As you can see in the photo above, I was finally able to give myself a little pedicure earlier this week, and it felt great! The red nail polish that I had on my toes before was from Christmas (yikes!) and I hadn’t been able to switch up the polish because of my foot.
Well now that I can wash my foot and unwrap it from the bandage, I decided to give it a good exfoliating scrub earlier this week and then gave myself a foot massage with some lotion (being careful of my stitches, obviously). It felt great! I think the massage helped take down some of the swelling too.
Then I took off the red polish (about time!) and replaced it with Essie’s chinchilly, which is one of my favorite cold-weather
colors. Now I’m feeling so much better!
Favorite “Walk”
On Wednesday evening, the weather was actually somewhat nice (about 50 degrees) so I decided to venture outside. It was my first time outside since Sunday, so I was just itching to get out!
While Fabio took Jack for his usual walk, I hobbled on my peg-leg over to the area where they play fetch and waited for them to get there. Then I spent a few minutes playing around with my boys (being careful not to fall off the peg-leg, of course) which was so nice.
The only downside was that I got some mud on my peg-leg (which of course I wear inside too) but it was nothing a quick rinse couldn’t fix. #WorthIt
While it took a lot of effort to get myself outside and down the these are special statistical data on search queries hill to where Fabio plays with Jack, it was worth it! I can’t wait until I’m able to walk better in the boot and can join them for this more often. 
Favorite New Routine
So I know I’ve been talking about our green juice a lot lately, but I just have to say one more time how much I am loving this boost of energy in the morning!
of juice each in the morning, and we have definitely noticed the benefits. For me, I will say that my um…bathroom activities…have been much more regular since drinking taiwan lists the juice. I also have more energy and just feel so good after drinking it! I also mentioned that I lost a tiny bit of weight, and considering I haven’t been doing any cardio because of my leg I would say that’s a win. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know how much we are still loving this new routine!
