Knee Update:

So I finally got an MRI on Tuesday and went to the doctor today to figure out what the problem is.

Sadly, it is my ACL.

The doctor said I had a partial tear in my ACL and also a torn ligament on the outside of my knee.

The ligament will heal itself  but is the most painful part!

The doctor was surprised it was my ACL because my knee feels so stable so for now the plan is to do physical therapy for 2 weeks to see if it'll start to heal itself. 

If the physical therapy doesn't work then I'll need surgery.

I'm okay waiting a bit because I wouldn't be able to have surgery until presidents day weekend (because of student teaching and lacrosse).

So for now, I work on making my leg better.
I really hope the physical therapy works.
This process is absolutely killing me.

Outside of my knee, student teaching is great.

Alex doesn't have a horrible schedule this semester and is just busy with his job!

We'll do more updating later!

This week is my last week of classes EVER.

Next semester I will be student teaching and I finally found out where I'm going. 

Lone Peak High School in Highland, Utah.

I'm so excited to start my path as a health teacher.

Look at me go, blogging three times in 2 days!

I'm on fire!!

Just wanted to write a quick health post.

For all the skeptics out there who think that strictly watching what you eat and exercising won't help you lose weight, I have some news for you!

For the past few weeks I've been watching my calories and exercising every day.

And...

I've lost 6.5 pounds!

It was a little slow going at first and I wasn't seeing any results, but the past week, the results have really shown.

I'm excited to use myself as an example in the health classes I teach next semester!

Get out and be healthy!!

I am thankful for my amazing husband who gets me through every single day.

I'm thankful for cell phones so I can talk to my family every day.

I'm thankful for my Mom, Dad, sisters, brother, and Nash.

I'm thankful for the great family I married in to.

I'm thankful for my sweet baby nephews.

I'm thankful for my education and how it's prepared me for my future career.

I'm thankful for the girls I coach.

I'm thankful for our bed. Favorite place on earth.

I'm thankful for sweats especially in this cold.

I'm thankful for exercise and Alex for making me go every morning.

I am thankful for diet coke.
I'm thankful for Maria. She's such a good car.

I'm thankful for the gospel and the blessing it is in our lives.

Just a little list of what I'm thankful for.

I'm sure this list could go much longer.

I love this time of year to be able to reflect of the great things we are given.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I may be a health education major.

But there are some things I'd like to fix about my health.

Not much just a few small things.

But instead of focusing on it all,

I've picked one goal I'm going to focus on.

I'm going to eat 2 cups of fruit every day.

 

That's the daily recommendation for women 19-30.

I can totally do this!

I love fruit.

I'll need some new fruits to try though.

Any suggestions?
