I forgot about protein pancakes - I make those once in a while, too. I usually top mine with plain Greek yogurt and homemade fruit sauce (I cook down berries and add artificial sweetener and some vanilla for that - sometimes a little cinnamon, too).

I hear you on the hiding, that was no fun. Finally posting my number on here was liberating! Zero regrets.

I get a foil highlight and haircut and it takes 1 1/2 hours. Being a hairdresser, I cannot understand why 4 1/2 hours unless they are booked to the hilt and work other clients in while you are processing or getting shampooed.

QOTD-My last BMI was 30.7 at 181.4, I've gained about 5 lbs since then and not measured it again. But at least I'm not hiding from the scale anymore.
I had a fairly productive weekend. I got my outdoor umbrella, and clothes line put in the shed. I also put the cover over the table and chairs so I'm pretty much winterized for outdoors. Sunday I made it to the nature park and did 1.75 miles and 7486 steps and it stayed dry for my walk. Lots of falling leaves. We're supposed to get an atmospheric river the next few days so I'll try to get a workout in between the raindrops.
I've had plantar fasciitis and there is nothing more painful. The one thing that I did learn is to stretch my calves, and roll my feet on a tennis ball or I have a tool for that. The custom orthotics worked too, I don't use them any more. I don't wear flats, my everyday shoes are Merrell Jungle Mocs. They have a ton of support and may not be pretty but I haven't had a recurrence of the PF. I was also really overweight then, which didn't help. I did cortisone shots, PT, a boot and all the rest. It was a miserable time in my life and I don't want to go back there.
It was a good weekend for football, both my teams won and the Ducks are now ranked #1. Playoffs maybe?
Have a great day everyone!

She took a cast of my foot and ordered it so it was specific to my foot and my needs. I was so happy with it that I ordered another one. And the good thing is when the plastic part gets thin, due to use, you can just take it to a cobbler and have them replace it. The main part under your heel is made of a harder material and doesn't thin out.

Your happy weight is where you feel good and in my opinion, more important than BMI.

Double capp, yaassssss! All the coffee. I went to a podiatrist way back when and got sme custom orthotics, but they were so thick and didn't fit right in any shoes. I imagine they have improved since then. I may do it now just to have them, even if this doesn't stick around.

I struggle with that choice too. I'm happy where I am - I feel pretty good, but I know I would feel better at a lower weight and with less belly fat.
