Although the pain is diminished, it is still affecting me.
I can’t believe how long this pain is lingering. I expected to at least be gone enough to where I am pain free, just slightly tender. I will continue to to overhydrate in an attempt to flush my system.

Wow, today marks the halfway point of my journey. I am so suprised at how far I have come. There were so many good things that happened early on, yet during this “sophmore” period, I am filled with disappointment.
My foot is the big story here. It is still impacting me in many ways. But I am so filled with determination right now that I will make it throught this.
I have been hobbled for so long that I am beginning to see the negative impacts. I hope the new year proves to be a better one.

My foot feels better, it flares up a little but it is still tender.
I think in a week I will be back running, but not before Christmas. I am so behind my schedule.
But I have been here before, before I started this blog, I was out because of a sprain in my foot from hiking up a hill. After that, I had an incredible weight loss run.

It is begining to look more and more like my foot will be holding me back for a few more days. There is hope, this morning my foot didn’t hurt as much when I got up.
Just need to watch what I eat and maintain. I talked to Stephanie today and she said when I resume workouts it is going to be interesting.
So the only way I can really manage weight now is via diet. The wrong diet can reaggravate my foot. Doing stupid stuff like skipping breakfast, eating garbage for a mid morning snack and skipping lunch may keep me in the calorie count but hurt my overall recovery.

My foot feels an order of magnitude better. I may do a decent workout tomorrow. Will see, not sure if there is anything I can undertake.
I was surprised at my AM weighin. I really thought I was going to be above the 252 mark. I want to note that most of the weigh in’s since my foot pains started was at night.
Anyway, I the scale may so something lower but I feel so much fatter than what the scale says. This is the inverse of how I normally feel where I feel lighter than what the scale says.

This is day 10 I believe. What a horrible experience. I wonder how am I going to react to this when I finally can run again. I do feel better, but then again, I felt better last week.
So what will happen, will I go running again with greater vigor to try and catch up, or will I wither and say, bah humbug.
Anyway today I chatted via IM with a buddy I used to work with named Matt G. He told me about his story and how he lost over a hundred pounds and now he is even getting muscular. What a great story and the inspiration I need to move forward. I want to move on already. I want to hit the road and start running again.

These new meds plus a lot of water drinking is working. I hope this is it and I will be able to run again next week.
Pretty sure I need to heal a few days more though.

I woke up this morning to the most pain so far. I called the Doctors to schedule an appointment.
I got another higher dose prescription, finally. I was hoping to get this Friday so I would be OK by today.
So I will give it till Thursday to see if I will recover

These are indeed dark days in my workout. If I wake up tomorrow and the pain persists, I am going to the doctors tomorrow.
But I think the problem in my left foot is two different problems. The pain is different from what I have been feeling. Originally, the pain was near my small toe. Now it is the back closer to my arch.

I hope my foot heals soon. I am worried that the longer that I go, the longer it will take to recover.
I am in so much pain that I do not want even record what I eat. Unfortunately that is the only way to keep my weight down.
At least I am still under 250.
