Another swift kick in the .......

I was watching my DVR'd Biggest Loser this morning. I love this show because even though I never plan on being big enough to be on the show I find all the work they put in so inspiring. You can really see how they make the changes mentally and push themselves to be the best. I really wish that I could find the motivation they have to really make this commitment for life. I mean I plan on being committed but I don't know how I plan to reach my goals or even if I have set enough

So after doing my workout on Monday I got this terrible heel pain. I had been standing, jumping, and working on my feet for hours and hours and I got so worried that I might have done some thing seriously wrong and really hurt myself. So I immediately went to webmd.com and put in my symptoms and went through the finally things it could be. I came upon Planter Fasciitis and it said that this is where the tendon in the bottom of your foot stretches and tiny tears are created causing the tendon to become inflammed. It also sometimes results in shin splints. I apparently takes a long time to heal and I was thinking that it just seems like one thing after another. I can't seem to get any better and when I get one thing taken care of, something else pops up.

So I stayed off it for a few days, wore shoes all day except right before bed and tried to cushion my heel as much as I could so that hopefully it would start getting better. Well I woke up today and even walking without shoes on isn't painful. I can tell that, from when I wasn't wearing shoes and I would walk on my toes so I wasn't putting pressure on my heel, my calf and hips are tender and probably have been thrown out of whack. So I'm going to try to do a workout or two today and see how things are when I put higher impact moves on my lower body.

Other than that good news, or discovery rather, I have been having a hard time keeping on track with everything. Chelsea has been fighting me on eatting breakfast so we have been getting a rougher start than usual to each day. And it throws off our whole day. I have already used most of my recipes for this month and don't really have extra items to make a complete meal that would be delicious and healthy. Sometimes I wonder how I will be able to do this and make the good meals that we're all starting to find and love once we move. I feel like it will take such a long time to get things back to the way we want them once we leave John's parents house.
I really want to find recipes that I can use a lot of the same ingredients for and that are good. John use to complain that my meals were bland and just thrown together last minute when we lived in our apartment. It was their lack in substance and appeal that made him reach for something like fast food that he thought tasted better. Now I am finding things that are good and challenging the taste buds and I really want to keep that up once we move.

So there are alot of things going on internally and physically. I really hope things start to look up. I hate having all these set backs.
