I tried to take it easy on my foot yesterday and it seemed to help a lot. It's still painful today, but I can hobble around better, wearing my new runners around the house. Yesterday I went to The Running Room and they were SO helpful. Plus I have 30 days to change my mind and make sure they are the shoes for me. (I can't wear them outside without voiding the policy, but a couple days around the house I should be able to tell.) Here are my new best friends.
I weighed in last night. Good grief I have a long ways to go. But it helped knowing all my measurements, they are written down somewhere in a binder...there's no going back now! I decided last night that when Kyle is back this week I am going to sit down with him and come up with some prizes for myself as I reach different milestones. I've realized that I've made food my reward in the last few years. "I got a lot accomplished today, I deserve icecream." or something to that effect. NO MORE! I really need a pedicure so my first 10 pounds should be that. The thing I am most excited for when I'm all done this process? Being able to dress in clothing as cute as my kids'. Finding out what my style is instead of just find clothes that I can make look okay. Its not that I dress horribly, but the options will be ENDLESS. If you are reading this Kyle, don't worry I won't put us in the poorhouse. Haha.
I've had a great day today...I'm decluttering and cleaning. All part of the process to a better ME! Thanks so much for all your support. My friend Anona is going to do my progress photos. I'm not excited to see what I look like now, but when I'm at the end it will be amazing to look back at and see where I was. Hope you all have an awesome weekend! Stay warm to all of my fellow Albertans who looked out their window and saw yet ANOTHER snowfall. Sick.

sorry about your foot! that bites. also, those are the shoes I bought in november then traded in a couple weeks ago. you could have just had mine, they are brand new. now that i'm going the "barefoot/minimalist" route to prevent injury, I don't need them anymore!
ReplyDeletecan't wait to see those progress photos, that's a great way to stay accountable too!
I hope the new running shoes help. I have a pair of Nikes. They are the free run + model and they are awesome. I haven't had any problems since I got them and they weight hardly anything. That's funny that Kelsey said she's going the minimalist route because that is so Brady. All of Brady's running shoes are either vibrams or little moccasins that no one would guess are used for running. I am loving reading what you're up to. You are so inspiring. I think I will work towards a pedicure as well! Love you.
