I am back. I have been kind of lost along the way these past 6 or 7 months and I still at the weight I was in January.
I am in constant pain and I can't seem to get it to stop. I have heel spurs and plantar facisitis in both feet. My job requires considerable walking but I have become slow moving. The foot pain gets me down. I have a doctors appointment coming up but I have to get a handle on this pain. They got rid of those horrible leg cramps with magnesium but now if I could only get my feet to feel better. It is like a knife in the sole of the foot every time I move.
I did however notice this summer if I take the time to get some kind of exercise in it will subside a little. I rejoined the gym on base and went yesterday. Starting off slow with circuits on the cardio machines for 15 minutes. 15 minutes on the recumbent bike and 15 on the treadmill. I walked on the treadmill at 2.0 but and incline of 6 or 7. The pressure seemed ok because the treadmill kind of gives with you. I want to continue to go so I am trying to not hurt myself. I will get with a trainer in a few weeks to set up a weight training program.
I have also changed my eating and lost 4 pounds..... I am slowly but surely making a definite change. I have been picking an issue and trying to get rid of one problem at a time. (sugar, chips, all the bad stuff etc.) It is working for me!
This board is so supportive. I have been lurking around for a few days and am kind of forgot what a nice group this is. I am happy to be back!
