Update

So, I haven't been posting much lately due to my injury, and I've just felt too depressed lately. I've damaged one ligament (?) that holds the knee cap in place, but it's not completely tore so it will grow togeter again (sorry, I have no idea how to describe it in English). The doctor told me I can start to use my leg a little bit now, and I will hopefully be able to walk a little before the autumn break (it's just 10 days left). I'm going to Spain, so I really hope I can walk!
I'm going to physiotherapy tomorrow, so I will probably get some more information then. Oh, and I found out that the way my knees are "designed" makes this happend easier. Hurray!

This injury is making me soo depressed. Last night I cried for like two hours before I could sleep. I'm so afraid that my knee won't be completely healed, and I know I've put on weight, I missed a consert because of it (and this was the band's last concert for at least two years), and I will maybe have to bring crutches to Spain.

Sorry, I'm whining too much.

I got Muse's new album (The Resistance) yesterday. I love it, but my favorite is still Origin of Symmetry. I'm going to see Muse in October and I'm really looking forward to it!

I know I was going to write more, but I completely forgot what it was about :P

Anas' Girl: Thanks, yeah, I tried to use that excuse as often as I could

heebeejebus!: Yeah, you're right. My first priority right now is to get better!

Olivia*Obsessed: That sounds horrible! I'm very glad I don't need a surgery, and that I'm able to take a shower myself (but it is difficult!). Thanks, I'm doing my best to get well.

Stick Thin: :O It sound painful. I would feel totally lost if that happened to me. Yeah, I'll have to wait with activities like dancing, running, walking in rugged terrain (?) until my knee is fully healed. The doctor told me to wait at lest six weeks.

morg-ana: I hope I won't :) I felt so sorry for myself the first days, so I ate a lot then, but now I try to eat little and healty.

Sottile: Wow, that must have been terrible! I wish I would get a big gap between my legs!

Le faim: Yeah :(

Knee injury

Something terrible happened thursday evening. My kneecap slipped out of its joint. I was on my way out of the bathroom, and it just happened. I've never felt so much pain in my life. I thought I were going to die, and I hoped I was going to die, because it hurt so bad. I felt that something in my knee was out of place, so I got extremely scared. My mom straightened out my leg, and them my kneecap popped back in place.
So yesterday I spend 4 hours at the emergency department. They took some x-rays, and a (very hot) doctor bended my knee and examined it, and asked me a lot of questiones. And then another (even hotter) doctor examined me some more. I have to use forearm crutches for at lest 9 days now, and I will have to train my knee with physiotherapy for weeks. And I have to use a knee orthosis to hold my kneecap in place for 6-8 weeks or something. FUCK. My mom has to make food for me (because I can't carry anything) so I have to eat. And I have to eat because I can't take painkillers on an empty stomach. I don't get any exercise either. Aw, I'm going to put on weight :( I will at least get more muscles in my arms, from using the crutches . I'm going to take a MRI on wednesday, to see if the cartilage is damaged.
I can happen to me again, and if it does, I may need surgery.

Beep test and muffin recipe

I really hate the beep test (or pacer test if you call it that), and we have it tomorrow. I get so fucking nervous before it. Many of the girls don't show up for P.E. when we have test like that, and it only makes me seem even less good, because the boys are always way better than me. I don't feel that well either, I think I've catched a cold. And I got my period yesterday, so I really don't feel like running right now. But I know I have to. We're having a strength test too, tomorrow.

You requested the recipe for the muffins, so I'll try to transelate it (from Norwegian):

6 big muffins (I got 14 small)
- 150 g bananas (very ripe bananas are sweeter, so you should use them)
- 1 egg
- 120 ml skimmed milk/fat-free milk
- 50 g wheat flour (I used whole-wheat flour)
- 150 g whole-grain flour (I used whole-grain rye flour, but I guess you can use whatever you want)
- 50 g rolled oats
- 1/2 tbsp baking powder
- 80 g frozen blueberries

* Mash the bananas. Mix in egg and milk.
* Add flour, oats and baking powder.
* Carefully stir in the blueberries
* Pour the mixture into 6 big (greased) muffin forms or use muffin paper cups
* Bake at 180 °C ( 365 °F) for about 30 minutes.

I got 14 small muffins (about 65 calories each), so I baked them for about 20 minutes. And If you want sweet muffins, you should add some sweetner, because they didn't get very sweet, (but I liked them).

Mine turned out like this:

Back on track

I feel so much better now, as I'm back on track! This far I've eaten:
Breakfast: A glass of orangejuice, two cherry tomatoes (about 80 cal)
Lunsh: An apple (about 50 cal)
After school: A small grape fruit ( 80 cal) and a cup og ice coffe (30 cal)

And we'll have chicken filet and salad for dinner, so I think this will be a pretty good day.

I've been thinking about making muffins the last days. Muffins without sugar and fat. I've found a recipe with bananas, blueberries, an egg, skimmed milk and whole-grain flour. It will be about 12 small muffins with 80 calories each, and when I really want something unhealty, I can eat one of them instead (I'll keep them in the freezer). Maybe I'll make some for my grandma as well, she has diabetes (type 2), and she forgets to eat all the time (she has dementia too), so maybe she would eat them as they are more tempting than bread.

And, you should all check out Sottile! She is new here. She is a vet-student, and seems to be very determined to loose weight :)

Oh, and I nearly forgot to say that people have been trying to make me go to this party tonight, and I really wanted to go, but I couldn't. It's too many calories in alcohol. I know I would end up drinking. They kept asking me why I couldn't come and told me they would love to have me there, but I resisted (told them I had to do homework)! Yes!
