Heya

DAY THREE
a decent day. Had my porridge slop this morning and my green smoothie before going for a 40 minute speed walk in my lunch break but I had another 'feeling shaky etc' time on my walk. the girls at work told me that I need to eat rather than just have smoothies. I know I was going to do it this week to 'detox' but I think they are right. so, I did have some biscuits but I counted the calories of everything I ate, I even worked out the calorie content of the smoothies. so.......
calories; 1,490
steps; 13,346
active minutes; 41
miles; 5.77

I think that is what I will do. get targets on my fitbit. Every day :) My step target is 10,000. My active minute target is 30 mins and my distance target is 5 miles and of course to keep under my calorie limit, which changes depending on how active I am (my fitbit syncs with myfitnesspal and so does mapmyrun!)

I had a great day at work today, we had a cover hygienist in today who has worked there a few times before and we get on so so well. We had a really good laugh :D

I have a bit of a sore bottom of my foot today :( not had that before, I wonder whether it's cos my knee was a bit painful while I was running yesterday and I was running oddly on it. Resting it up at the moment and i'll have a hot bath and take some painkillers when I go to bed and hopefully it'll feel better tomorrow. I've got achy abs from my run yesterday.....which I love!!!:D:D Love that feeling of not just my legs aching, love the whole body ache :)

LaMaria I really am making an effort to not give myself a hard time, Cate will tell you how bad I can be :rolleyes: but I just have to keep telling myself to take things slow and steady. no doubt, I will have my moments but this year I am going to try.
I'm going to try and go for a walk every lunch time. If I stay at work over lunch I just curl up on the sofa and it seems such a waste of time.

Sunflower It was funny with her dawdling behind until she realised that we were on the road leading back to the house then she bounced on ahead.

Cate I do think of you when I give myself a hard time and get impatient with myself. You are my internet mum and i'll do as i'm told :beating:

Vanita Aww thank you :) My wiener dog is a bit of a pain really, she hates other dogs and is a stuck up snob but we love her. My rescue dog is just a wonderfully amazing creature. We have had her for nearly three years now and she has changed so much. She went from not understanding affection to being happy to meet anyone. She loves swimming and jumping around in puddles and mud, she loves playing fetch with a ball but is just as happy to use a stone. She would go on really long walks if she could but she is so stiff and sore afterwards she can barely walk so we have to just do what she can manage without her being in pain. She is also terrified of stormy weather (i assume due to living in a shed before we had her) and we have to give her Diazepam when there is a storm or fireworks, I've had many a sleepless night with her but i am so so touched that we have given her a truly happy life now and yep, she is totally spoilt . Also she HAS to sleep by my side of the bed. I am her rock. :beating:
Anyway, welcome to the forum. My only piece of advise is to come on here every day and write about your day, good or bad. These amazing people are here to help and it makes such a difference. Good luck with your journey and I'll check out your diary. :)

Sam Unfortunately my man is a tall slim guy who can eat all the bad stuff and get away with it so there is choc, crisps etc around at home as well as the stuff at work. I don't have much choice with either, I'll just have to be strongo_O And as for home made stuff, I don't make cakes or cookies or even bread cos i am totally useless with it and will just pig out totally on it :(
Regarding my knee, i know that it will ease the fitter i get. it was like this before when i was running. but i will keep your advice in mind if I'm wrong ;)

Thank you all so so much for your great support, you guys rock :)



 
ADD ME ON FITBIT IMMEDIATELY. I'll PM you my email address.

P.S. you don't have to, it would just be fun. I walk lots of steps too! (She says, sat on 500 steps because I got the bus to work today like a grubby bus snail.)
 
DAY FOUR
Not a great day today. Foot Killing, evil mood, food fail.
I'll be back tomorrow and hopefully not rant and rave too much.
 
Not every day can be a good day unfortunately Kate. I had a bad day too :( :grouphug: xoxoxo
 
DAY FIVE
My foot is still really sore and I've googled it and it looks like it's 'Planter Fasciitis'. It's inflammation of the thick muscle along the outside of the foot. Basically, i tried to do to much on my run :rolleyes: so it's my own fault. Only thing i can do is rest it and take pain killers so a very lazy weekend for me. I'm proper annoyed with myself.
I've not had a great food day today either, sulking doesn't give me the incentive to think about eating well.
Also, my period started properly today. I am 43 and it looks like i am going thru the change early, i was 31 days late this time and about the same last time and they have been all over the place for a while. I've been craving sugar all day:( and in the grumpy, sulky mood I've been in, it is a struggle. haven't done my steps or active minutes. I'm desperately trying not to have a 'fuck it' day.

I know i'm gonna have to rest my foot tomorrow but i am going to really try and eat well :)
NO MORE FEELING SORRY FOR MYSELF!!!!

Take care Kate, but please don't have a FID!!
I'm sending you a great big squishy hug, even though you are being grumpy. :D Hormones suck, but imagine life without having TOM. I sure don't miss it. :grouphug: xoxoxo
 
Hello! my feet hurt the same as yours... but in my case is because they are completely flat... I don't have an arch.. so whenever I start working out it takes a few days until my feet get used to the activity... sometimes it hurts even more than the rest of my body. And I also
Have a husband that can eat whatever he wants and stay skinny... so my house is full of devils food lol so we have no other choice... we gotta be strong. I think it will help us in the long run, cause that way it will be easier to say NO to crap food in our everyday life... the other day I was watching tv and from 13 commercials 9 were advertising food, and not good food Of course. I consider myself in "rehab" but it's kind of hard when everything that surrounds is constantly telling us that we should eat this or that. So yeah... I'm starting to miss my point here haha so I'll just say... keep up with the great job! Good luck!
 
DAY SIX
Foot much better this afternoon/evening and my food hasn't been great but could have been way worse. I haven't logged any food, obviously not done my steps or activity and haven't drunk anything other than tea or coffee (must sort my inability to drink water at weekends) I AM less grumpy, which is a bonus.
But, i'll be back on it tomorrow. Today had been insanely crazy in my house. Mark (my other half) and my dad have destroyed and half rebuilt the back part of my hall/kitchen/house. I have pictures but not sure how to get them on here. Anyway, still got stuff to do so just popping on quickly to say i haven't done a runner. I will reply to your lovely comments and check out diaries tomorrow, when i have more time. I'll also try and figure out how to show you the photo's of the carnage that is my house at the moment.
Onwards and upwards (or should i say downwards lol);):)
 
Living with renovations can be very stressful. I'm glad your foot is much better Kate. I am having trouble remembering to log onto MFP. I'm out of the habit I guess. Onwards and upwards hun xoxo
 
Urgh sucks about your house - we had the back of our house knocked down to build into the garden for a new bathroom and it looks 8 weeks and the house filled with dust, etc. It'll be worth it in the end though!
 
Heya
I've had the most stressful day at work today. Two members of staff off sick so I go on reception (on a bloody Monday....always hell on a Monday) on my own with three surgeries working :eek: and then the hygienist decides that she doesn't feel well either so, as well as doing everything else, I have to cancel all her patients and deal with people who are pissed at me for cancelling their appts :( My brain hurts! My foot is sore this afternoon so that's pissed me off too.
God, all I seem to do on here is rant and I've only been back a week. I'm not usually such a whinge bag........Honest :D:rolleyes:

Anyway, Didn't get enough steps in and haven't done my 30 min activity but was good with drinking water and have had a good food day.
Now, I just have to do all the home stuff and i'm about fit to fall into bed.

Hope you guys are all good, i'm so sorry I don't get much time to check out your diaries. I need an easier bloody life.

Weigh day tomorrow. Not massively optimistic as I've had a really bad Christmas cake issue this week (I have given a load of it away so it not winking at me when I go into the kitchen and Mark has hidden the rest for me :)) I probably ate half of it and it's pretty much the size of a laptop!:eek:

Wish me luck o_O
 
Ohh Kate :( It's awful when people go sick..dealing with angry people is no fun. Happy weigh day tomorrow, don't worry if it's not what you want..there's always the next day :D
 
Don´t beat yourself up for not doing All The Things on a monster workday. You made it through and you´re not sick!
 
& you don't have to worry about everyone else's diaries. Concentrate on you Kate. Job well done Mark hiding that cake. Fruitcake talks to you I swear. I didn't have one in the house this year! Don't get sick hun. Look after yourself xoxo
