All right, the two of you have convinced me that raw beets will be in my future .

Tweety, I hope your PF is not chronic and that it gets all the way better soon. It's a hard thing to recover from; you can't really rest your feet all that much and I'm not sure that would be a good idea, even if you could. I have noticed that the type of shoe I wear makes a big difference; slides are not so great; unfortunately they're a particularly cute style of shoe

I'm sorry to hear that, Tweety. Although I am not positive of how to treat this, I am wondering if it is like the achilles tendonitis that I had last year. For that I have to use the RICE method: rest, ice, compression, and elevation.

I don't know if this is helpful or not. I hope it is.

Just checkin in.

Sore today. Put in 4.5miles yesterday walking: including hills. Unhappy right great toe.

Off to t-ball practice. Love to everyone.

Walked to the little league game yesterday. Pushed the stroller up the steepest hill (unpaved); about 2/3 up, it finally occurred to me to have my 28 pounder walk instead of being pushed . Sure made the rest of the hill a lot easier . My arms have been feeling it all day. That's good, though, an inadvertent workout .

I'm sure the wt doesn't help my PF. I've lost 8 lb already! Haven't even made it to the gym but I have been more active, and eating better.

Definitely a good workout it sounds like, 28 lb uphill? wow!

I don't even know what a beet looks like, or how to prepare it. Used to eat CANNED beets when I was a kid, hated them but you know moms.

Good for you!

What's wrong w/ your toe?

[gentle]

Hi Zoe,

I think it is a sore joint in the toe due to overuse. At least 1/3 of the walk is uphill. Tomorrow I will probably be on the treadmill at our community club house. That way I can get in the exercise without hurting the toe. What I really need to do is my exercise video as it helps to tone muscles while you lose weight. The trainer on the video is funny. But alas, I miss Richard Simmons. His television program was my introduction to fun fitness and knowing I could exercise at any size. I felt more self-acceptance when working out with his televised fitness programs.

Poor Gentle - ((((((((( Gentle )))))))


Richard simmons drives me nuts, don't know if he could motivate me lol

[Tweety]

Yep, gotta take care of those footsies.

I had a nice dinner with kale and brussel spouts tonight. I'm been pretty exclusively vegetarian for several weeks now, even optioning for vegetarian options when I go out. Trying to stay away from dairy and eggs, but eating out vegan isn't easy at all, and I'm basically lazy. I manage to go to the gym today, so that's four times this week.

Unless I go to seven yoga classes between now and June 7th, my pass will expire. I've never let a pass expire, but like I said, I'm lazy. What a waste of money that will be.

But if you go, it won't?

I'm still doing pretty well, it's miraculous esp when I was FORCED to eat at a pizza place yesterday - I got the chicken caesar salad instead. It WAS pretty good I admit.. but my son REALLY enjoyed what HE had!! lol

[Tweety]

Zoe, for some reason I just can't motivate myself to go to yoga class anymore. I'm committed to the gym, walking the dogs, etc. and sometimes I like to take a day off from everything and do nothing. I'm not sure I'm going to finish the series. I miss it though.............wishy washy.

I made some good bean burgers for dinners and froze about 4 of them. I'm baking some "fries" now.
