Barbara.....I must be honest.....I have come to realize that going to the gym has afforded me an hour or so of sanity every day, and that is probably what has kept my motivation going
Even though it is a job with all of these little people......the one hour of pure selfishness feels soooo nice. As far as the foot......I can sypathize. My stupid foot has been bad since june
. Have you seen a podiatrist? I did have some injections that provided me some relief.....but then I just over did it. I am going to post a link to some wonderful insoles that I purchased from my podiatrist, and later found online. I do have custom made orthotics, but these seemed to provide me with much more relief. Also, I wear a night splint....and it took a LOT of getting used to....but over a period of about 6 weeks, I really started to notice relief. Oh, that and the lovely stretching exercises, that I FINALLY do. If you do not already have info on them....I can scan and email them to you, if you like. Also....rolling it on a frozen water bottle really seemed to help....and NEVER going barefoot. It seems as soon as it starts getting better, I abuse it.........but I am learning........5 months later

MJ....any of us who change our minds deserve credit! When I get to my goal, I will have lost about 80 pounds......but those numbers are not what makes me feel like a super hero inside.....it is knowing that I finally love myself enough and have stuck to this committment that make me want to wear a cape
I am already victorious. My life no longer revolves around food. I am no longer controlled by cake. If I want some, I have some......in moderation. I don't feel bad about it....the cycle has been broken. It's an incredible feeling.
JM......way to go on the jeans. I am so anxious for your surgery......I cannot imagine how you must feel. Can you Mom come stay with you to help you during your recovery? How's that little pincess of yours doing?
Joan.......are you currently doing LAWL? If you are not, fitday.com is a good way to check in on your intake. If I log my stuff on there for a week or so, it can really help find any errors you may have overlooked. Maybe I should check that out too.
Kim....what's up?
Hi Angie and Amy
