2 Months Down & The Glass is Half Empty!

I've hit my two-month mark, and it could not have been ushered in any more dramatically.

Last Thursday, I was on my way down to Trader Joe's and I stepped into a pothole and sprained my foot. My husband was out of town at the time, so he came home to pick me up and bring me back to his out-of-town event. So, I've spent the last five days in a hotel room with my foot propped up on a pillow, and absolutely miserable on the food front.

First of all, I started this whole adventure pretty much out of food (hence my trip to Trader Joe's). My husband didn't have time to go the grocery store, so I was at the mercy of the few things that I brought, and the occasional room service. Not ideal. When I'm traveling, I try to prepare some of my dehydrated favorites in advance to help tide me over.

The hubby was finally able to run to the store a couple days in, but he forgot the three most important items that I requested (but he was a true hero for getting me everything he did, and he even got me some appreciated extras). So, I had a bounty of fresh foods - but not the key items that would have made it a bounty of deliciousness.

Second of all, I've been in a pathetic state! Not only did I sprain my left foot, but the extra strain placed on my right foot caused a severe flare up of the capsulitis in my right foot, which is just a fancy way of saying I was screwed twice over. I can barely walk on EITHER foot.

Third, I've wanted nothing more than to comfort myself with food. I haven't even had the privilege of being able to create some awesome raw gourmet for myself. No, the peak of my days have been a nice crunchy carrot, and yet ANOTHER salad - ugh!

So, what have I been doing these last few days? I've been feeling sorry for myself and watching the Food Network. That's right - I've been indulging in food porn.

I did go to a raw food restaurant today, but that just added insult to injury. It was a major disappointment. (Although my hubby did get me a nice raw chocolate bar for desert.)

I know that this is a negative post, but I'm just wallowing in this negativity today. It is what it is. And I have just four more glorious months to go.

The Silver Lining

But I will say that I've been very amazed by how quickly my sprain is healing. I've been doing zero icing or anything, so I really think that the raw food diet is helping to accelerate my healing process.
