Journey to 26.2 Day 45: Humid Early Run with Foot Pain

5:45 comes super quick when you don't sleep all that great. I was tossing and turning a lot last night and just couldn't turn off my mind, but the alarm still went off. The beautiful part though, before I would hit snooze or reset the alarm or make an excuse not to get up, but today I did not. I shuffled out of the bed and into my running clothes and made it outside.

Geez was it humid! I mean the moment I stepped outside, I was blasted with the humidity. I made it through my typical 3 miles, drenched and dripping in sweat. I got ready quickly for work and had some major foot pain. I tried out some new inserts for my shoes yesterday, they are specifically for plantar fasciitis. I wore them in my shoes yesterday but when I got home, I was in a lot of pain, so I rolled, stretched and iced my foot at night.

On my run, it didn't hurt all that bad, but I felt the pain after. I rolled and wore the inserts in my shoes today. For a good couple of hours, it really hurt, I mean really, really hurt. I was rubbing the arch of my foot on anything and everything, to dull the pain. I took the inserts out and tried with out for a couple of hours and then put them back in. A friend of mine told me, it was something to ease into and get used to them, my foot had to get used it and it would hurt for a bit because I wasn't used to that high arch.

I took the advice and it started to feel much better. Since I didn't go to Weight Watchers today for a weigh in, I changed it to tomorrow, I went to dinner and then iced my foot for a good 25 minutes. Now that I did that and took some pain relief, it feels much, much better, like a whole better!

I haven't suffered much pain since I started running, so I knew I was due for something, but I do not want this pain anymore, it sucks!! But I am trying to control it now and not let it get any worse.

Okay, so tomorrow is weigh in day and I am really, really hoping for a result.

Be back tomorrow to report the news!

    Oh no! That sucks that the inserts hurt you! I have a really high arch anyway, so they were great for me. Foot pain has gotta be the worst!

Low Point Apple Crisp

At my Weight Watchers meeting yesterday, my leader told me about a low point apple crisp and I couldn't resist making it today. I love apple crisp, I don't have it often or really at all, because it can be high in points and frankly I like low maintenance  baking, so when I can find something easy and quick and low in points, well I am all game!! This apple crisp is again so easy and quick, perfect for a craving, a family gathering, party or just to have around the house. Requires only 3 or 4 ingredients to prepare this and you might even have all of it in your house right now.

Perspective: My Trauma, Fear and Rejection

Well we have made it through another week of CoronaVirus, Stay Home, Social Distancing of 2020. I honestly have no clue what to call it, other than that. Today, has been 2 weeks since we closed BBW and shut down the store. Originally we had some high hopes we would have been open by yesterday, the mall sent an email saying they weren't going to open until the 19th, and then Pres. Trump extended the Social Distancing until the 30th. I honestly have no clue when I am going back to work. I am literally just trying to take it day by day and moment by moment, and week by week. I have been surviving and also Thriving during this process. I am a child of hard things. I have been through some tough shit in my day, and maybe I will get to that at some point, but we can save that for another post. Today the idea of Perspective is in my brain. If you don't know, which I am sure you do know if you follow along with me, but Rachel Hollis, whom is one of the many people I look ...

Chobani Flip: Key Lime Crumble

Image
First off I love yogurt!! I love low fat yogurt, flavored, Greek, plain, all kinds!! And I am always out looking for what is new and exciting in the yogurt world, I know I lead an exciting life!! So when these Chobani Flips came out, I was all about it. Unfortunately, I couldn't find them here in Florida right away, when I went home in March to New York, I was able to find them and I fell in love. There are probably at least 10 different kinds of flips, vanilla with oats, pineapple with coconut and walnuts, blueberries with chia seeds and walnuts, coconut with dark chocolate and toasted almonds, peach with dark chocolate chips and pistachios, and my favorite key lime with white chocolate chips and graham cracker pieces. The flip part of the yogurt is the cup is split up into to two sections. One section holds the Key Lime Low Fat Greek Yogurt and the other section holds the White Chocolate Pieces with Graham Cracker Pieces. You flip the fun side into the Key Lime yogurt and...
