Hope is found

So Big updates. I got a bike & helmet, but haven't been able to get out of the house to go riding. But today my sweet Mother-in-law bought a stationary bike for herself that she said I could use as well. I sat down and did a few minutes. It was magical, my feet quickly started loosening up. I have hope of this helping my achilles.

I also went in to see an NP who specializes in hormones. I have a hormone imbalance that she says explains why I had the pain for years. How come its so easy for me to gain weight but almost impossible to loose. My irregular periods, and my body trying to act pregnant when its not. So I'm starting progesterone & starting a carb restricted diet. 
Thing is, I've been counting carbs and haven't really changed much & doing great in staying under my limited amount. Right now I'm at 90 carbs for the day... my allotted amount is 180. :) And I even had ice cream today. Yay. Though it is surprising what it does & doesn't count. Such as cheese & meat are really low in carbs.
The nice thing.... Vegetables don't count! So I can eat as many vegetables as I want! Yay!
So I'm going along and I think this will at least help. God willing. I'm trying, and I have hope.
