This is definitely not what I had planned when I started this project. I wanted to push myself for one straight year and see what kind of change I could make to my body. However, the past few weeks have been horrible when it comes to my feet. Just when I think things might be getting a little better, they end up getting worse. So I am going to actually take a complete break from exercising and walking as much as I have been. I won’t be getting up early and going to the gym, I won’t be running on the weekends or any other time, and I will only be walking when I need to (which probably will consist of walking with my friends sometimes) but I will not be working on a majority of the goals I set for this project.
I am hoping that after this week, things will go back to normal and I can exercise, run, walk and do everything else I plan on doing. If not, I may have to go to the doctor to actually see what I can do about my feet.
This does not mean I am falling off the train. I am going to keep eating what I should be eating and tracking it all (in fact, I have to be even more careful since I am burning fewer calories with no exercise), avoiding alcohol and doing what I can to take care of myself.
I will probably be posting daily still but there may not be a lot to talk about. I am not going to worry about posting my goals because for the most part I know where most of those are going to end up.
But I am not going anywhere but up!
As a plantar faciitis aficionado I understand completely! Don’t end up on crutches like i did!!
I recommend some for of yoga that stretches out your legs, it will help your feet and keep you active…I do it at home with the Yoga with Adriene videos. I find there is nearly always a video that I can manage and it helps when I have to take a break from what I normally do 🙂
