Hour commitment - I won't eat again until tomorrow.

@Snowflake1968 Great photo, you all look so cheerful!

@pridesabtch Hope your new job is going well, and you're settling in.

@mytime6630 Enjoy the time with your grandson, I can't imagine what it's like to have family living far away.

@emgracewrites Are you friendly with your coworkers? If you are, have you considered sharing with some of them how difficult the elimination diet is for you? You may get some moral support. Of course, if it's not the sort of work place where you get friendly and you don't want to, then hey, it doesn't matter at all what they think!

@jennysweet58 Thanks for the info re good shoes for plantar faciitis. I'll certainly look up the makes you mentioned. I have to choose shoes carefully as I have special inserts to use, and there needs to be room for them to fit (the heel on one side is built up to help balance me out). I think I've aggravated my PF by wearing sandals and plimsolls in the really hot weather last month, and not using my inserts. It does get tiresome always needing supportive shoes and sometimes I go for looks over sense...so serves me right!
Also I've been walking my son's dog more to get the exercise, which doesn't help.

You've reminded me that I really need to get better trainers. When I'm gardening or dog walking I wear my old tatty trainers as they get muddy, and the soles are very worn down. I must start wearing trainers with better cushioning soles.

I read an article last night which listed the things which make PF worse, it included wearing old shoes...and wearing new shoes lol.

@mytime6630 - great news for your DH! Enjoy those Grands! I think the capes would be wonderful for the kids.

@emgracewrites - I’m sorry it was rough day, your boss should have asked if anyone had any restrictions or special needs before just ordering for everyone.
I feel for you, a friend of mine has IBS and I know how much she struggles.

@littleblackskirt - how kind of your son to offer you to make cookies. 😂.

I had a very lazy two days, when DH is home I find it hard to be motivated to do anything. I’m not sure why.

We are learning to be together again, it has been a few years of working opposite shifts on opposite days. That may be the problem.

Ah, flat sandals is how it all started for me! I was walking across the park and literally felt a muscle pull in the arch of my foot. It took me a long time to realize that it wasn't going away, and even longer to figure out I have to wear supportive shoes that hit my arch just right ALL THE TIME! Vionics ARE pricey but they do have cute styles that look 'normal' lol. Having room for the insert is tricky, since these sort of have some built in, but maybe give it a try at least to have some sandals that won't make things worse, even if you can't put your inserts in them. Better than going without support entirely! There's a few on Amazon uk - other brands come up too, but I can't vouch for them. If you do try the Vionics they tend to run a little big, especially in sandals. I'm a 9.5 US and in their flip flops I get a 9. Anyway yes it's time for both new sandals and trainers for you!

On a train ride this morning. Going to munch on the lunch I brought while I ride.

Found out today that I’m going to be out of work for at least tomorrow, and maybe part of next week as well. The contract that I’m on expired today and there’s a problem getting the new contract in place. I guess it’s a good thing I have plenty of vacation hours built up so I can get paid. Still kind of scary though since no one knows how long it will take to get the problem resolved.

Haven't checked in lately, but the new job is going well. There is more information than I can take in, but I'm getting there. The people I'm managing are really great and I think once I get some of the business stuff down I will like it. Only down side is that I have no mentor or guide to help me through the initial stages.

TBH I haven't really logged or weighed since I started, but I am getting more steps in. I'll get there.

I have a friend who was supposed to come in this evening from South Carolina, but when I talked to her yesterday, her life has turned upside down. I'm not 100% sure she'll make it in tonight, but she is doing a triathlon in Columbus Sunday morning and I'm going to go cheer her on, so I will get a little time with her. A little concerned about her, but she understandably didn't want to discuss it over the phone.

Going to the kitchen design studio today to see what they came up with for my kitchen remodel. I am super excited.

That is about it for me. No goals today other than to make it through another day at work.

Hello , hope it's ok to jump in here. I liked the title Just for today
