Pain

My workout yesterday left my ankle's and shins pretty sore.  Which is not bad, really.  It's the kind of pain you are grateful for.  To me, it means that I chose to do something for myself that was good and rewarding.  That I can do these things and the my body is responding correctly to the work out.  The only problem is, I have a lot of pain in my right heel.  Painful pain!  Pain so bad that as the day wore on yesterday, I could barely walk.  I've had heel spurs before and it kind of feels like that.  But I can't imagine I developed a heel spur in 40 minutes of walking on the treadmill or the short time I was in the Zumba Class.  When I got up this morning, it hurt so bad to walk.  Though, once i got to walking on it for about 10 minutes, it got better.  

So I've come to the conclusion that I must be a heavy walker and put a lot of emphasis on coming down on the heel when I walk.  I need to be more conscious of how I walk.  That may sound dumb.  But I think I bang my heel down hard, especially when i walk fast.  So I'm going to try to pay attention to this and see how I can fix it.  I know for sure that I am off to the store to buy some gel heel inserts for my wonderful shoes (which are KSwiss Tubes - which I LOVE!)

I've done well eating today.  But I had THE worst Lean Cuisine meal for lunch and I'm not picky.  It was the Chicken Pesto.  The actual chicken was juicy and good, but the pasta was gummy and flavorless (since it was marinating in the pesto, I can't imagine why it hadn't soaked up any flavor) and the vegi mix was very blah - It really had no taste.  Which is weird, because I love the taste of broccoli, but the broccoli smell was there, just not the taste and the carrots were pretty carrotless tasting as well.  It came with Cherry Cobbler, but I didn't even bother with it.  So I'm going to go make myself a small salad now (with greek yogurt, with a little bit of a dry ranch packet in my spoonful of yogurt for my dressing)

Have a great day!
