My plantar fasciitis has really been acting up at work these last few days.  It's very painful when I have to stand for long periods of time.  Yesterday was so bad that when I went home, I just ate candy. I don't think I went too overboard but I didn't count my calories.  I doubt I went over by very much but it was just the mindset that was hard to get over.  I did not get a workout in on Monday, Tuesday and most likely not today either.  The kids have early release so I just won't have time in the afternoon to do it.  I also haven't been able to walk because of my heel pain.  It's been such a warm week, it's a shame.  Injuries really suck!  I will try to eat a few less calories today since I won't get a workout in.  I hope that tomorrow I can really get back into it.  Need to stay focused to reach my next mini goal!!!

I've been struggling with a side effect from the high dose Prilosec I've been prescribed for my Silent Reflux.  It's stomach cramps with other lovely stuff.  I'm suppose to be on this Prilosec for 2 months.  I hope these side effects don't continue that long.

Friday was a busy day helping out at the kid's school so I was a little short on time to get my usual HIIT bike workout at the Y.  I decided I would do a little run/walk workout instead around my neighborhood.  It seemed to go well.  I pushed myself on my running sprints to about a 7:15 min/mile pace but only for 30 seconds at a time.  I did 7 of the sprints with walking in-between and altogether was about 30 min.  My feet were really sore later on that day and I was on them all night at a Halloween party.  When I woke up on Saturday, I could not put any weight on my left heel.  It was so painful.  I have been experiencing what I think is plantar fasciitis for awhile now because I will get soreness in my heels right away in the morning and if I've been sitting/laying down for awhile and get up.  I guess my run did not bode well with that.  Luckily my mom picked up an arch sleeve for my feet and after wearing I was able to walk around the house.  Today, I went to the Y to get my normal HIIT bike workout in and my feet are doing well.  It was a small setback but I'm glad it didn't last long.  Tomorrow will be my 3rd weekly weigh in.  So far I'm staying committed and I hope the weeks fly by!
