I had to stop mid-run on Thursday with excrutiating pain in my foot. I was totally sobbing on the treadmill from frustration....not only am I in training for a very important race, but running also helps me maintain my weight. I am not very disciplined with my diet - and it scares me to death that I'll have to stop running and start watching everything that I eat. I had increased my fiber intake - but it has given me horrible stomach pains in the afternoon (and I was taking a probiotic to help it). I actually gained a pound and am at 179 right now. I think it's due to consuming alcohol...I've had a few glasses of wine x 3 nights this week.
I'm going to call the podiatrist tomorrow and pray for an appointment on Tuesday. I'll have to figure out how I'm going to heal my foot and still maintain my fitness level so I can resume training ASAP.
As for the house - no bites yet. The average time to sell a house in Bay City is 5 months. We have decided to put up a fence between our yard and the store. We spent the majority of the day yesterday clearing out brush and trees. The problem we are running into is the tree roots - trying to figure out a way to get the posts in. We may have to call someone...
I feel your pain, quite literally! My foot is still in pain. I'm not sure what to try next, but I can't sit still much longer. This is a real drag.
ReplyDeleteI noticed too how quickly the weight piles on when you drink. I've been at the beer and wine the past couple of weeks and I've gained a few pounds...of course I could blame it on weight training and say that I'm adding muscle weight...yeah, that's it, muscle weight...
Any way, I would try to do some cycling or other forms of cardio since you can't run. I'm so glad I joined the gym at Delta. I'd really be going nuts if I couldn't go there. I'm going to start swimming on Saturday mornings.
Our Realtor told us 180 days last year, and you know how that turned out, so I certainly wish you the best of luck. It is an insanely tough market right now and the inventory is outrageous, so your competition is very high. Just don't get discouraged, you may have to leave it on the market for a while, take it off, wait a couple months, than relist. Good luck. Hope your foot feels better.
