Bad Foot = no fun!

I've got plantar faciaitis (sp wrong) in my left foot. I am doing all the exercises, ice and anti-inflammatory you are supposed to do for it. The pain has almost stopped. Depends on what I've done that day and what shoes I wore. I still can't do a lot of high impact aerobics though (boo hiss). That means that this weekend I will have to walk in a 5k, which I'm not happy about. I would normally run or power walk it. I haven't actually gotten the ok from my doc but I think as long as I don't push it, I'll be fine. Anyways, I hope this foot thing is better by next March so I can do the 10k in Charleston again. I would love to beat my time :)

I haven't gotten on the scale in awhile. Truth is, I'm scared of the thing. I never seem to have good news when I stand on it. Well, tomorrow I go for my woman's appointment so I'll have to get on the dang thing. UGH. Not looking forward to THAT. I am, however, looking forward to seeing if my doctor will give me some answers about why this weight is coming off me at a snail's pace. I'm hoping that she'll do more in-depth blood work and such. I would LOVE some prayers for this. My frustration is at the maximum right now.

I worked out today. I was sick last week so working out didn't happen much, but today I made it and now I feel awesome! I know some of you are groaning, but give exercise a chance. Some days it lifts you up and you feel on top of the world. Most days I literally drag my butt to the gym but I am thankful I did it EVERY TIME I finish a workout. So don't rule it out. JUST DO IT!
