Crap!  My plantar fasciitis is really kicking it lately (no pun intended!)  My food has been good today after a slight misstep with some pizza and breadsticks last night…why do I forget that that stuff makes me feel like the world is crashing in?  About 3 hours after I ate it I was in the foulest most negative mood and this morning?  I feel like sunshine and roses!  Even though absolutely nothing has changed over night.  My sunshine dog is still off to some place unknown right now, DH has another MRI coming next month and is having a shitty time at work, my Dad has another meeting with the oncologist on Wednesday to talk about his cancer.  Sigh.  Sounds kinda ugly doesn’t it?  But I feel able to deal with it…not like last night when everything seemed too much to manage.  Food?  Who would have thought it?  Anyway, my food has been good, I cooked for the first time in awhile and didn’t feel burdened about it…amazing…stretches…check…meditation…check…two minute plank today…CHECK!!!!  So yeah, I have started mantra meditation and am currently working with a healing mantra for my DH & Dad… I have never delved into mantra before but I have to tell you I feel it…and it feels really right to me.  I feel a peace that I haven’t felt in awhile…(well, on anti-d, but DH said it made me into a zombie!) We will see what this newfound peace brings at the weigh in this weekend!
