So tonight I go to Weight Watchers and our leader Pat who has known me for years, at the end she says, what is wrong with you? So I told her how my weight isn't shifting, how walking makes me hurt. She says it sounds like I need new shoes. She also told me to log everything really tight this whole week and she will look at it and my weight next week.
It was good that at the end of the day I got some support.
Yet another reason why I have social anxiety about phones. Thank god for email, not that i don't get berated their.
Any who, I was going to say that a good pair of walking shoes defiantly helps. Their not cheap, i just spent about $170 on mine plus inserts to help my form. I would recommend going to a local running store and not a shoe shop. At a good store they should have someone who will help fit you, measure, ask about your workouts, and look at your walk to find the best fit shoe. I went last weekend and it was great (FleetFeet if you have one in your area). You also need to get the right socks for walking. Cotton is killer. The ones made for walking and running are synthetic, they keep the feet cool, wick away sweat, helps reduce blisters and hotspots. My feet and calfs are so much more thankful. (God this workout stuff is expensive, shoes, compression shorts, just drooped some more on some good workout shirts - and will have to do it again when they no longer fit).
I hope you can work out of the rut, remember life is full of them. This one and all the others don't have to detour the trajectory of this week or the next. Your doing great and you'll lose the weight.0 -
Oh hugs Julie. I used to get my legs cramping up every time I tried to walk too. It was terrible. It was the one type of exercise I thought I could do and it was so darn frustrating! I would have to stop every block or so because the pain Was so bad. The only thing that would help would be to get off my feet. Slowly but surely, the more weight I lost and the more I moved it went away. Try not to let it get to you. You are our champion. We got your back and you are going to get past this hurdle.0

One day, I will wear my 2-year-old out.
Sorry I've been a bit absent the last couple of days. Hubby had so nights off, so we had family time. He works tonight then has a couple more nights off but I'll try and hop on her once a day. I did log all my food though.
Hubby got KFC today. I got grilled chicken. I didn't eat the skin and I went very easy on the gravy. I didn't go over my calories but most of what I ate was KFC.
Honestly, I'm not eating that healthy. I feel guilty about that but I guess for now its just good that I eat less.0 -
Just wanted to say hi to everyone and let you know I'm still kickin'. My food has been pretty good the last few days and this friendly competition Pat and I have going keeps me steppin'. I've been fighting depression all week and stepping seems to help. I probably won't be on much for a bit. Tomorrow morning Charter will be cutting off my cable and internet. I had all but $70 of the past due amount and promised them that next Wednesday I would pay the reminder. They said they'd take what I have but will still cut me off tomorrow morning. I told them I don't think so. If it's not going to keep my cable on then they can just wait until next Wednesday for anything. So unless I'm able to check in through my phone, I won't be able to. Talk to you guys as soon as I can. Have a great weekend.0

Oh and on top of the woman screaming at me.. Restybaby leaving hurt.. I valued her being here. I sent an email and left the door open. But let's not discuss why's and wherefore's we don't even know.
Julie, I hear you. I felt terrible , like I should have made an effort to make her feel welcome. But you know what... I'm going to let it go. Please, you should too. We are all grownups in here and responsible for ourselves and making sure our needs are met. Oh and not everyone is going to like us, LOL! I know that's hard to believe! I'm sorry your day was tough!0 -
