@Pupowl that sounds like a great app! They really do have an app for everything. 😂

Good Morning,
Yes, my plantar fasciitis has been pretty good lately, I bought a pair of vionic shoes, they work great once you break them in. I wear them at work only. Also, I believe the weight loss has hopefully helped too. I have a few stretches I do in the morning to also help.

Steps:
June 17= 9294
June 18= 6752

I agree with you @DaffyGirl88! I try not to download too many apps, but the bird sounds app seems interesting! Thanks for sharing the name of it @Pupowl. I’m definitely going to try it.

At my annual physical, I asked my doctor about my sore feet. They are especially painful when I step out of bed in the morning 😫! I thought I might be developing arthritis but she suspects plantar fasciitis. She gave me a few exercises to stretch out, especially after playing soccer on Sunday nights. So, I’ve been doing the exercises a bit. I think it’s helping so I really should dedicate more time to my stretching! Thanks for the reminder @JenHul!

@PatriceFitnessPal You might also look into shoes with arch supports and extra padding in the heel (depending on exactly which area of your foot it affects...some people have one or the other...I have both. You're lucky in that it's much easier to find shoes specifically for people with PF than it used to be...Vionic is a great one, but I've had good luck with Nike (great arch supports), sketchers has a whole line with great arch support...just google and you'll find many others.

Good morning Shape Shifters. Woke up not feeling too great yesterday. Not enough sleep, very tired and my head hurt so I decided to stay home. It worked out all right since at 8:15 a guy showed up to inspect the house. I rent my place and they want to make the houses more sustainable so this company was hired to decide what the energy label for the house is. It was a little annoying and stressful because I hate having strangers in my safe space and he had to be in every single room. Take pictures of the windows, meassure all the windows and walls, look at the heating etc. I was glad I just cleaned the storage/laundry room because that would have been embarrassing otherwise. Thank duck he didn't need to be in the garage; it is an epic disaster in there.
The rest of my day was pretty lazy and I did a lot of gaming. Depression is really good at lying, trying to tell me it will be nice to hide from the world, just stay inside doing nothing and eating as if it's my last day on earth. I managed to snap out of that and I went for a walk late in the afternoon. About halfway in, I saw a roedeer with a little fawn on the road. Of course my camera was at home. It was far away, but it would have been nice to see them a little better.
The main goal for today is to cook. I think this will always be a struggle because I simply hate it, but what I make is pretty fast, it is healthy and I do really like it. So time to get back into the habit. Happy Thursday everyone

@Pupowl - You’ve built some impressive habits of walking and using your exercise rings despite your low-energy days. That’s a huge accomplishment. I’m sorry you are struggling on the nutrition side but I’m glad to see you’re not moving into dangerous territory of denying your body the calories it needs for daily activity. Every day is a new opportunity to start again so I hope you can let go of a bad day, or hour, and start fresh on the next decision of the day! You never have to worry about reporting a gain to the group, which you are always the first to emphasize with other members of our group, so please give yourself the same grace. Thanks for your message and I appreciate you staying engaged with the group whenever you can! Stay cool — ⛱️😎

@PatriceFitnessPal I forgot to thank you for this nice reply. I really appreciate it. I am just trying to get a perfect day because it is much easier to keep it going after that. I have been doing better, but no perfect day yet! I will not try today, I will make it happen. I hope you like the bird app! I generally hate doing things on my phone and I also don't have internet on it, but this app still works offline which is really nice. I hope you can get the pain in your feet under control.

Tue ~ lbs were really inflated Tue morning(post-binge). Yes I weigh every day ..so I get no surprises! I think for me, scale-stress used to stem from weighing in every few days to weighing in every other week and then being caught off guard with huge fluctuations. Those big swings up and down used to add stress to the process.. and scale-avoidance ..and then came the mental struggle of whether to give up or not. It was difficult trying to wrap my head around that 3-14 day time frame and be like “what the hell did I do???” Now since I weigh-in every day I only have to reflect back on just the one day and I know EXACTLY what I did. It’s really helped me stick to plan…but I’m sure there are plenty of people who would disagree… it works for me! 🙂

Wed ~ I tried my hardest to get the lbs back down yesterday but they were still pretty high. I was proud that I finally attained my 10k step goal, but need to increase the intensity because I still haven’t really pushed myself on that front. **Update: Went to the gym at 530 this morning and increased my incline and added machines**

I forgot to step on the scale yesterday and today.
I will post my weigh-in tomorrow Friday June 21st.

Happy 1st Day of Summer ☀️
