It's quite amazing really

How different everything feels. I don't know if it's because of the weight I've lost or because I was used to shuffling around with the aircast (maybe a bit of both?), but walking down the street just feels different. I can feel the muscles in my legs expanding and contracting, and I find myself looking for an excuse to break into a little run—crossing the street when the light is yellow, dashing for the bus. I'm not officially allowed to run for another 3 weeks or so, but I'm itching to move more.

In other news, I've discovered a tricky aspect to the protein hot chocolate—if you don't stir regularly (constantly?) while heating it in the microwave, it gets nasty. Yesterday I popped my mug in the microwave, and when I came back 90 seconds later, there was a hard protein-y crust on top which I tried (failed) to mix in. Ugh. Today I stirred every 30 seconds and it is much better.

Also I notice I am not getting a heck of a lot of potassium. I've had a banana each day this week, but my intake is still on the low side—what are some good soft potassium-rich foods?
