Hello, Daisy!

So, remember the other day when I said my knee was bothering m after my Saturday run? Well, I went to get it checked out on Sunday and it turns out, I have a strained meniscus. This basically means that the cartilage in my left knee is strained due to over use. I was fitted with a fancy brace, told to rest/ice my knee for a while and was sent on my way. I honestly feel strange not working out, like I am a slacker or something. I would rather get adequate rest than risk further damage to my knee :(

BOO!

Now I am home recovering and watching entirely too much daytime television (Dr.Phil is a highly underrated show). Luckily, I have this new little baby to keep me company!!

Meet Daisy! A friend of mine was giving her away because he could not afford her and we decided to take her! She is a twelve-week old pit bull/ beagle mix and I adore her! 

Now that we're all caught up, How about a lunch update? I took Daisy to the vet today to get her shots and a check up, and by the time we got home, I was ravenous. I was in the mood for something hot a quick, so leftovers were on the menu! In a bowl, I combined my leftover Chinese food from the other night, some organic black beans, and some extra broccoli for some more nutrients. I also enjoyed a slice of whole grain bread and butter that isn't pictured. A quick and easy lunch!

Off to take Daisy for a walk!! Enjoy the rest of your Tuesday!

Have you ever been on bed rest? How did you deal with it?
