Hardwood = Fat Belly

Day 2 of the new start of the 30 Day Shred. I did a great job and felt that I really pushed myself to a new level. My shin splint is going away and it's so nice to feel like I'm healing......except that after working out I started making our Valentine's Day cookies. It took me nearly 2 hours to finish everything from baking to decorating. After that I started working on my spreadsheet and I noticed that when I got up to do something for the kids I had this sharp stabbing pain in my left heel (the same leg as my shin splint!). So I immediately went to webmd and put in my symptoms and Planter Fisciitis came up. I was reading about it and I can see how that could be present considering it is the ligament that runs the length of your entire foot. So I'm resting and hoping that it goes away soon. A lot of the sites that I read about Planter Fisciitis said that it could take years to heal fully from this heel problem! That would kill me.

I have worked out tons before moving here last September and never had I had problem after problem pop up. I swear it's the fact that there are hardwood floors in this house. Only part of upstairs are carpeted so we mostly walk on the hardwood floors.

But I can tell that a change is happening in my body. When I'm not bloated, like today, My rings fit more loosely, I can tell that the upper part of my abs are less flabby, my arms are noticeably more toned and I think my thighs are looking slimmer. The sad thing is that I'm only concerned with my belly and the rest is just a bonus. I know that it takes time to get off the worst of the worst which is usually the belly, in most Americans. Like I've said before, I'm hoping to be able to wear a more flattering bathingsuit this summer and I'm hoping to find an activity that I really enjoy, be it kickboxing, running, etc.

Wish me luck on a fast healing and hope that it is just a sore day for me and nothing more serious. I plan on making a doctors appointment to make sure, I can do that since I don't have to pay for getting anything done!
