This week I:
– Lost 4.4 lbs. (291.6)
– Drank all my water everyday. 66oz/day.
– I didn’t go to the farmer’s market, but my co-worker did and she picked up some stuff for me (red onions, yellow onions, celery, carrots, green beans)
– New recipe this week: Healthy Chicken Tikka Masala
I still need to:
– Finish cleaning out the fridge
The doctor finally looked over my left-foot xray and sent me a note saying that I have a “large heel spur” in my left foot and that I should email her if my feet continue to hurt. I think I’ll email her next week. Teh Intarwebz says that heel spurs can be made to hurt less by doing the Plantars Faciitus stretches the Doctor has already prescribed. AND that if there’s surgery it should not occur until at least a year of stretching has been done. 🙁 I’m not looking forward to a year of foot pain.
On the plus side, that and the interpretation of the heel spurs, HDL and ACT blood tests all agree that they will be made better by losing weight. Hooray for healthy lifestyle choices.
This last week my ass was dragging and I gave into the urge to drink work machine coffee for breakfast. I think I need to throttle that urge down and go back to drinking tea. I also realized that at some point I started using the full 1/2 cup of dried fruit on my breakfast instead of the 1/4 cup I’ve been claiming. I have gotten this back in check and I’ll be going back to 1/4 cup servings.
We ended up day-tripping Coronet this weekend and although I ate more than I should have (and a couple pieces of Halloween candy) I didn’t OD. So.. overall, good week.
