I feel so much better today. I did most of 4 circuits of Jillian Michaels No More Trouble Zones DVD. They were floor exercises and I couldn't do some like the planks because it would put pressure on my hurt foot but there were lots of exercises I could do. It really made me feel a lot better to finally work out a bit more. I think I did one exercise a bit wrong because my neck is over strained but I'll be more careful with it next go round. It felt great to work out.
Yesterday the doctor put me in a boot and on crutches. My foot is still hurting but I don't think it is that bad. She is going to do a bone scan because nothing has shown up on the Xrays. Maybe I don't have a stress fracture which would be great because I could go back to exercising (more carefully) sooner. I do have a bunion, a bunionette and a bone spur in my heel. So I definitely need better shoes and some bunion pads.
I am supposed to go on jury duty September 28th which I am interested in doing but I tried today to put it off until January because of being on crutches. I don't want to have to hobble around on crutches all day.
I was a bit depressed yesterday. We tried to go get my crutches but I forgot my insurance card and then we didn't have enough time to go back before the store closed to get them because we had to take my daughter to class. I felt as if I wasn't being taken care of when I needed it and felt depressed for a while but I got over it. Wearing the boot makes me feel kind of helpless and vulnerable I think.
Today is a much better day. I haven't eaten breakfast yet though and now that I've worked out I'm less hungry but I will go eat after I finish this post. I have been terrible with my food the last two days missing almost all my veggies both days. Today I am determined to get all my veggies in and for the rest of the week. Yesterday I also had too many carbs because I ate tacos but it's over with now so I am moving on. I did just eat two tacos so that was OK but I had already had enough carbs before I ate them. I am going to work on my water consumption too. I am drinking my first bottle now.
It is really amazing how much cheerier I feel after that workout. I definitely need to keep doing it. Thanks to all of you who have been supportive of me. I have been a bit down the last week or so but I am working to get myself cheered up.

I was reading about stress fractures today and the info. said some fractures can take up to 16 weeks to heal. The minimum time is 6-8 weeks and the articles said it is easy to refracture the foot in the same spot and then it won't ever heal properly. That makes me worry that I may not be able to go back to my exercises at all. At the minimum I think I will ask my doctor tomorrow to put me in a boot and I need to really stay off my foot all the time I can. I also need to get some good quality shoes. Apparently if it hurts at all it is still healing and I should stay off it. It is surprisingly difficult to try to stay off your feet all the time. I feel like such a slug.
MY food wasn't great today. I went over about 6 carbs today and I haven't eaten my veggies. I just couldn't face another salad tonight. We did have a new recipe from genaw.com. It was the Enchilada Bake. It was easy and tasted great and it is wonderful as leftovers!
I am feeling less sad about Shadow since I talked things over with my husband. It helped me to not feel so alone. I think of her every day though.
My husband did his tests today - two kinds of evoked potential tests - a hearing one and a visual one and his EEG. Friday we find out the results.
I did my abdomianl exercises but I still haven't looked at my DVDs to try to find some floor exercises. Maybe I'll do that now. Nothing much else to say. Have a great night.

I was thinking the other day that maybe God is trying to teach me patience with my foot. I certainly don't have any. And I guess the same thing would apply to my husband's diagnosis - I'm terribly impatient about that also.
I have been going to mass which has helped me a lot but today I found out I shouldn't have been going because a lot of things I didn't know about are mortal sins that I need to confess before I take communion. Taking communion when you have an unconfessed mortal sin is a mortal sin too. So now I need to make an appointment to meet with my priest for confession and no more mass until I go. Being a Catholic can be complicated.
I am still doing pretty well with my spiritual disciplines. I have skipped my stomach exercises for 2 days now though. I also need to look at my DVDs to see if any of them have floor exercises I can do until my foot gets better.
I am going to try to catch up on my buddies journals tomorrow and try to get back into all my routines. I haven't studied my languages in days but I have kept up with my spiritual activities. I have even remembered to pray on my knees a few days.
Tomorrow I'll make my appointment for Confession, Tuesday my husband has his tests and Wednesday I go back to the doctor about my foot. Friday my husband goes back to the neurologist for his test results. I did OK with my food today.

Hi everyone. I have been kind of frustrated about not being able to get on Fatsecret. I haven't entered my food for two days and I've already forgotten what I ate yesterday. I have been feeling kind of depressed about Shadow the last couple of days. My husband seems to be getting over her much more easily and that kind of bugs me. So many things remind me of her. I have been having doubts about getting a puppy too. It is so much work practically like being a new Mom and I'm not sure I am ready for all that responsibility and most of it will fall on me. puppy proofing the house, puppy potty training and training in general. I also know another dog isn't going to help me feel less sad about Shadow.
I have been trying to keep up my disciplines but when I get depressed I start feeling like I don't want to do anything. My walking and exercising was really helping with the depression too and now I can't do that. My foot is not seeming to get better this week and I don't know if I need to wear a boot or if I am just up on it and driving too much or what. It is tough to completely stay off your feet every day.
That phrase is funny because before I began to walk or exercise that is exactly what I did every day - stay off my feet. Now it seems so difficult not to be able to move around normally.
I haven't done my abdominal exercises yet today and it is 8:16p. I also need to do my spiritual meditation and I should pray the rosary tonight. I should also empty the dishwasher, put up the towels and make some program phone calls.
Tomorrow is weigh in day and I have no idea how I will do. I have done OK with my food except the veggies were too low a couple of days as usual and my carbs are at about 30 a day. I haven't been drinking enough water this week though.
I messed up my depression meds which isn't a good thing when I am already struggling with my depression. I have to be more careful and double check my meds after I fill my planner. I guess I will go and enter my food in the food diary.
