This Is My Year!

This Is My Year!
I plan to shed 125 lbs. in the next 56 weeks. This is my journey...

Plantar Fasciitis? Sheesh...

Okay, so I was reading up on foot pain so I could manage my workouts better.

What I found out is that I have Plantar Fasciitis.  This is where the ligaments and tendons in the arch of the foot have small tears from pressure and they cause swelling and inflammation, which, in turn, causes the pain in my foot pad and heel on my right foot.

I looked up ways I can make it heal and I found some stretches that I can do.  They seem to be working as I am getting some immediate relief and my cardio workout today wasn't as bad on my foot.  I do have to lay off the treadmill as it has some hard impact on my foot, which has been the main cause of my pain.

So, no treadmill, only low or non-impact machines like the elliptical or incline cycles.  I can still get a good workout and rest the arch of my foot at the same time so that it can heal better/faster.

I am really looking forward to my cheat day on Saturday.  It's the Saturday before Valentine's Day and my husband and I are going to Olive Garden, yummy!

OH, and I finally bought a cloth measuring tape.  I will be measuring by tomorrow and posting my first measurements here.

About Me

My photo
I have fluctuated over the years with my weight. Every time I have had a baby, I gained a lot of weight.

I have three wonderful boys to show for it!

Each time, I hit the gym and shed most of it.

This time I cannot blame pregnancy.

I am a stress and comfort eater and I admit it. Through two divorces (to and with the same man), I have finally come out on the good end of things.

I am blessed to be re-married to the first boy I ever had a crush on.

Now, we have a 1 year old baby and I have never been heavier.

I am starting this journey at 5'9" and 275 lbs. and 46.7% body fat.
