Awesome for no foot pain!!!

1h yoga class today.

After my first workout with the minimalist shoes, I'm a complete convert. First time I've EVER had zero foot pain during a work out, and that includes when I was far younger and in excellent shape.

YAY!!!! Excellent news.

Cool. I'll keep them in mind. I have neuromas too. They suck. I had one taken out a couple years ago but it still acts up. Orthotics help some but don't fit in all shoes.

I think part of my issue is my high arches throw off the correct biomechanics of my feet. The shoes that I found have decent arch support (more than most typical athletic shoes) and then I also wear my ankle braces. The braces also support my arches, so my feet function correctly. The shoes are also SUPERA FLEXIBLE, so I get a good range of motion.

i hate setbacks. Trying to look forward and keep moving.

Seriously, those are the worst.

Anyone up to helping create an imsn 1 week bootcamp of sorts? I was looking into joining an actual bootcamp here but got sticker shock. I thought maybe we could make one up here that we do at home.. .and then check in with each other?

Quickstart weight loss- norovirus!

Quickstart weight loss- norovirus!

Ugh! Oh no!

So tired but I made it to the gym this morning. Glad I did it. 1lb back down. Good start I think.

I think its time to let go of the weight loss stress for the upcoming wedding I'm going to be in. No one cares but me, and this is stupid to get myself this worked up over it. Like the bride's sister told me "SHE'S (the bride) is the one that needs to look good, not ME."

Waited in line for a half hour on Saturday morning (with shoes and a sweatshirt on)to weigh in only to find that I gained (last time I weighed in before lunch, so I thought if I wore shoes and a sweatshirt that would be similar to eating breakfast and drinking water?); so I reweighed without the shoes (but kept the sweatshirt) and weighed the same as last week.... I don't think I gained, but my scale at home is so inaccurate! I went to the gym on Sunday.... hoping to go again on Wednesday.

And I made it to the gym! Thank you second trimester.

[Sheherezade]

How did Dukan work for you and Luanne? I was all in to trying it - but then stopped hearing anything.... so I wondered...

And I made it to the gym! Thank you second trimester.

Yay!! That's good. I know you are so happy to move again.

Little update. I really had to get out of my own head with all the stress. Listened to a really good podcast on telling myself to be ok with eating less, being slightly hungry at times, and accepting this as a new normal in order to be where I want to be- Healthy! Doesn't feel as much like a punishment rather than a reward of sorts. I weighed today and was 3lbs down from the day before. Mind over matter? Maybe! I'm just glad to have the weight off even if it was water weight from the weekend.
