I am jealous of your arms. See the picture above for a sad comparison. Used to I never wore short sleeves because it made me self conscious. Now a wear what's comfortable and sometimes it's a conversation starter. I've had people ask me questions who were contemplating weight loss surgery because they could tell I had lost a lot of weight. I'll take saggy,wrinkly arms over being tired and miserable and an extra 150 pounds any day!

to be able to heal - you need to eat 2500-4000 cal per day. Proteins and fat.. avocado, full fat milk; full fat greek yogurt, cheese, nuts, eggs, and some meat.. with added fat..(avocado? lol)

Thank you Hala for your input, wisdom and always kind reminders. I can handle sitting/driving for about 5 minutes, so I had run up to Target and got supplies, milk yogurt eggs and even 2 ribeye steaks. Because the car seat is adjustable I can make it work. I said today all I need is a Victorian fainting couch and I'd be in business:)

Good morning all. Not feeling it today, I think I have a bad case of plantar fasciatis in my freakin booted foot. Feels like a rock under my arch and I can barely walk. I have been up since 3:00 a.m. with this. At first I thought just a cramp, tried rubbing it out, tried the the tonic water (Oh that stuff is horrid), if I didn't have to work i would have take a muscle relaxer. Tried ice, tried heat, tried warm water soak, used my little rubber foot roller that I had from the last time I had this which was nothing compared to the pain I am in today. I have an appointment at 1:30 today. Of course I never realized how many times I need to be up and down on my job, I'm holding walls and furniture walking around, i'ma gonna need me some crutches. Sedentary my ASS!

B: 1 egg, coffee w/protein powder

L: Having catered lunch, will take the meat from a sandwich and have it with salad

D: Who knows, I didn't have time to think about it today.
