Hacks - I make a big pot of chicken soup and then freeze individual portions. Whenever I am short on time, I grab a portion instead of just eating everything and anything I can find. I try to never run out. I also have an emergency kind bar or something on my person when I leave the house just in case plans change or I get stuck. I only drink coffee at home in the morning and try never to buy it while out as my favorite coffee drink has about 700 calories.

Pass say #7. Honestly, I'm a little proud I only ended up like 200 calories over given my lunch was literally ice cream and Cheetos. LOL. I'm counting it as a win that I turned it around, even though it was technically a pass day.
First day back at the gym in two weeks since Kiddo's isolation ended. Felt both good and SUPER OUCHY to be back.
I'm not sure I have any life hacks per say, other than cooking for the week on Sunday so I'm never left wondering what's for a meal... because that's when I end up with Cheetos and ice cream for lunch 🤦♀️5 -

@clutterqueen Thanks, I am definitely open to it and I will look into it. What do you take?
Wow, I have never even heard of plantar fasciitis and there are three people just in this group with it!2 -

@Healthymumlife and @Bradkcrew I take NatureMade turmeric capsules. When I had severe inflammation I took it twice a day. Now I just take it once a day for maintenance.3

@clutterqueen thanks! I read about it and am going to get some tomorrow. My knees have felt like they are on fire all day. Not sure what suddenly made it worse, but I did go on a long run with HUGE hills two days ago and I am thinking maybe it was the pounding on the way down? IDK, that is the only thing I have done that is different.3

@bradkcrew I've been taking turmeric for a while now for my arthritis pain. After being on it for over a year, I recently went off of it because I thought that I didn't need it (I've felt pretty good!) -- and boy, that showed me how much it HAD been helping me!!! I'm back on it now! Lol.4

This is not medical advice but since I had plantar fasciitis several years ago, turmeric has been my new best friend. I use the NatureMade and take it every single day. It’s great for any kind of inflammation. A word of caution- you cannot take it if you take blood thinners, aspirin or anything else that can thin the blood.
Listen to your body! I wish I had when I first started developing plantar fasciitis years ago instead of trying to run thru it.
Hey @clutterqueen how do u usually prep the tumeric? My Indian friend also swears by it and I've heard great things about it.0 -
@bradkcrew thats really crappy news! Im sooo sorry!!!! U will get thru this, u seem like a very determined person.2

No need to respond to my previous msg. I feel I hve a lot of inflammation as well and it scares me that my mum has arthritis. I'll def give the capsules a try. Thanks.1 -
2/3 pass days walked at lunch 2.1 miles in 43 minutes nice breeze on the track. My cardio was mowing the lawn later today. I tracked logged and stayed under.
I to had plantar fasciitis mine was fixed with surgery about 22 years ago and I can say I have felt your pain. Since they no longer do the procedure I feel lucky as I only have an occasional period of pain. My surgeon said put your $ in your shoes get rid of them every 6 months even if they look good. I at least send mine to the side porch for nasty outdoor tasks. Try a tennis ball or a soup can as a roller under your foot and I wish you all who struggle with this the best. I also find foot flex’s help stretch the muscle that was recovery after the procedure so the scar tissue grew back as a wider piece of tissue .4 -
