Love when I have a good day!  Sure there's rough spots through out any day, but overall it was good and fun.  I started the day with my chiropractor.  I am extremely sore from my visit.  I have never felt pain like the pain I felt with him; I am still extremely sore.  The best part was that the numbness in my foot went away!  I was only sore from my hip to my ankle for a good part of the day.  Finally feeling progress has made me feel so much better about this entire ordeal.  Honestly, I had myself diagnosed with some kind of disease. 

The chiropractor and I had a great  conversation about Brent, my trainer.  He was very impressed with his knowledge of the different muscles and nerves, how to treat them, etc. It's so important to me to have people around me who share the same philosophies and they both do...which makes life less confusing for me. Between the 2 of them I am learning lots of things about my body and what I have done wrong and what I will need to do once this rehab is over, to ensure I don't end up this way again. I promise I don't ever want to end up like this again.  I am miserable being in this condition and miserable that I cannot do my usual training and train for the half marathon...UGH!!  But, I am being optimistic that things will get better sooner then later; this is just another one of those tough life lessons.

Another great day of eating; I'm feeling real good about have the ability to stay on track when times are tough.  Last night I "unliked" a page I was following for a little while. It's a page someone set up so others can follow her on her fitness journey.  Not that I like to judge anyone, and God forgive me for this, but I did pass judgement on this girl.  She has been losing weight and doing fairly well.  She was posting pictures of food and sharing what she ate.  She is doing weight Watchers,  which is pretty much just portion control.  The things she was eating was almost turning my stomach; for a few reasons.  For one, I've done that diet; it works but when you stop, most of the time the weight comes back on.  In my opinion it is difficult to make the lifestyle change needed to lose and maintain a lot of weight. She made a comment about not whining and crying over the bad things that happened to her.  But I think she may be surprised how that may change as she loses weight.  I doubt that what happened to me happens to all, but I bet it happens to a lot of people who have been morbidly obese for most of their lives. There's usually something tucked tightly away under all those layers.  Anyway, I found myself getting aggravated and being very judgemental so...I "unliked" the page; maybe it wasn't the right thing to do but I felt the need to do it at that time.

Sounds pretty silly, huh??  I think so.
