Family visits and painful feet

It's a cold, rainy day in Southern California, but the weather isn't keeping my spirits down. Tonight my mom gets into town, and I'm really excited to see her. It's funny because I'm looking forward to doing things with her that in the past I never really cared about (grocery shopping, cooking, etc). I guess absence really does make the heart grow fonder.

On a slightly "bummier" note, my foot (actually, my Achilles tendon) has been really flaring up lately. Went to the doctor yesterday and he basically gave me the same treatment as before (anti-inflammatory meds as needed, icing twice a day, and no flat shoes (not even around the house)). He also told me that if the pain continues, I will have to have an MRI, and may have to wear a walking cast until we can get the pain and inflammation down. The cast isn't the most exciting news, but at this point I'm willing to wear it if it will get my foot on the road to recovery. I'll keep you guys posted. Enjoy your Saturday!

Weekend recap

So Friday night I made a few food related goals that I wanted to accomplish this weekend. The goals were to:

1) Stay within my allotted Weight Watchers points the entire weekend, and

2) To track/journal everything I eat this weekend.

Sadly, I didn't follow through with either goals. I'm not entirely sure why I didn't follow though with what I set out to do, but I guess the bottom line is that I didn't put forth 100% effort into either of them. Fortunately, the weekend wasn't a total wash, but my trip to Souplantation and having pizza for dinner (plus dessert), really set me back. Luckily, tomorrow is a new day, and I'm feeling motivated enough to keep trying and moving forward.

Thank you again to everyone that reads my blog. You all mean more to me than you'll ever know =)
