Hi everyone
I've kept up with reading the posts even though I haven't been an active participant in the group over the summer.
My summer was good with a fair amount of travel. I went to St John's Newfoundland as well as the island St Pierre. St Pierre is a colony of France; it was interesting to take a fairly short ferry ride from Canada and end up in Europe.
Like a few other group members we headed to Las Vegas as well. My husband was there for a trade show and my daughter and I tagged along. Typically I attend the trade show as well, but stayed with my daughter. It was a good time, we rented a car and drove out to the west rim of the grand canyon and stopped at the Hover Dam on the way back to the city.

I finished my health program back in June and I've continued to incorporate what I've learned into my daily life. Unfortunately the exercise portion of the program has left me with a foot injury. I pushed myself too hard and didn't speak up enough when it became too hard. I believe it started with a stress fracture in my heel and now has continued as plantar fasciitis. I've switched out my shoes, added insoles to others and have started wearing a pair of runners in the house. I got on my elliptical for the first time since June a couple days ago, but have continued with my strength training.

If you got through all that, thank you.
I weigh in tomorrow, my weight is up and that is ok. I've spent the summer traveling, gardening, preserving all the wonderful garden items and trying to heal my foot.

I've included a link to a recent post by the Dr that helped me earlier in the year. It is about personal identity and ways it can shift to help us become more successful in our health journeys.
