Ouch!

I have to watch how I step, as I'm pretty sure my plantar fasciitis is coming back. Every time I step down on my left foot the pain starts up again. The first time I had it I was in pain for two years, trying all kinds of exercises and treatments. The only thing that really got rid of it was the new orthotic. I have a feeling I might be needing a new one, not just a re-lining of this old one.

Because of this foot pain I popped that new Richard Simmons DVD in, Sit Tight. It's worse than I feared. Even the exercisers, even RICHARD, had a hard time keeping up with the steps, mixed up the moves, or couldn't keep up. The camera work was shoddy, sometimes focusing on the woman with cerebral palsy as steps were changing to something completely different than what she was doing or even capable of doing, and many times when they showed a group shot you can see that many were either behind, doing the steps wrong, or completely lost and just sitting there waiting to find a place they could jump in to. I lasted a few seconds beyond the 17 minute point when my neck just gave out on me. I'm gonna pay for this today! Here it is, hours later, and I can barely lift my right arm or turn my head. Tomorrow it's back to the nice and slow Mindful Movements.



I wrote yesterday about that Quaker Oats/Walmart pumpkin spice oatmeal, and how I was going to have my first packet this morning. Yuck! A mouthful of grit and chemicals. At least my husband will enjoy the rest of them. Tomorrow I'll be back to my old fashioned oats with plain old fruit mixed in.
