    Feeling much better today. Blisters and redness still here but almost painless now and I haven't taken ibuprofen for a day so it truly is almost pain free! I assume the worst is over. Can't go to work yet but at least I feel like working here at home. House needs attention since I've been out of commission for a few days.

    Did you stay within your nutritional goals? Didn't track but probably okay.
    Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? Not set
    What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? Burned 200 calories on treadmill
    What would I have done differently? Tracked and more exercise. Illness has been my justification for not and I've used it as a crutch.
    What is today's goal? Min 500 calories on treadmill and track.
    Did you try something new recently (food, exercise, etc...)?
    Mood today? Feeling like being more active today.
