One of the (many) causes of my recent weight gain was frustration over a foot injury. Finally broke down this morning and went to the doctor.
Seems the pain is from tiny tears in the ligament of my arch (a type of plantar fasciitis). I have to take meds for inflammation, do therapeutic exercises 2x day, ice and wear shoes with arch supports. If this doesn't improve in 4 weeks I have to seek more aggressive treatment.
OK - so enough of this Granny's aches and pains. You've been good listeners but I promise never to mention this again.

The therapeutic exercises did wonders for me. As a substitute, work your ab harder. Sore abs will help keep you focused...

totally understand that Buffy Bear. Hope you get better soon and the pain is forgotten. I've also found that we need our legs and feet for everything. Hmmph. Who knew?

Heather - as usual you have a great sense of humor. Of course, I would not rate my injury to be anywhere close to the magnitude of yours. It is just irritating enough to make me complain.

irritating is all it takes! I can relate. John's ab comment sounds like a great tip. I'll have to try that.
