Weight 151
I know...I don't know how it happened but it did. Actually it's called "I love microbrew beer" and now I have stopped buying it and buying gin and tonic (diet).
It's crazy how fast weight can creep up on a person and you just keep thinking, "it will go down next week". A few days ago I got on the BMI machine and almost had a stroke. I think I had an anxiety attack. So.....I am back to the strict 17 day diet. I'm also able to run 3 times a week since having the plantar fasciitis and I'm keeping my runs at a 3 mile max to not add too much stress to my foot.
Here's my diet:
Breakfast: Advocare shake w/ 2 tbs organic peanut butter and 1 frozen banana or 2 boiled eggs with 3 soy maple sausages from BOCA.
Snack: Cheese stick or FF cheese stick
Lunch: Some type of Lean Cuisine lunch (At first I could have ate 2 of those meals but I'm satisfied at just 1 now) I do think "is that really a serving, because that is nothing!" My big treat is one Brew Dr. Kombucha, yummy!
Snack: Fruit or carrot sticks
Dinner: Last night I had tuna fish over a bed of lettuce with a drop of Ranch dressing.
So I feel like I'm back to square one which ticks me off, but at least I am recognizing the problem and working on it again.

Tues, April 8, 2014
Obviously my days of blogging went to a standstill for a while. A lot has changed in my life. My husband moved to Washington in January and I am staying in Oregon until the kids get out of school. We will be putting our house on the market soon and hoping to buy another in WA, enrolling the kids in new schools and I will be leaving my much loved job for a new one.
My weight took a turn for the bad and I am now at 145#. I was doing really badly about eating out lunches at work...daily. This gain happened even though I was still running 3.5 miles 3 to 4 times a week.
A few months ago I started noticing deep pains in my feet, more on the left than the right. It turns out I have plantar fasciitis and a bad case of it. For the past week and a half I stopped running. The crappy thing about this is I am in a relay in 2 weeks and will end up running 13 miles before it's done. Lord help me. I am getting a treatment from a chiropractor called instrument massage, other people call it astym but basically they put a cooling gel on the bottom of my foot and scrape the affected area with an instrument to break up the adhesions. It hurts very badly but if it works, I'm game. I also bought a PF sleeve to wear at night and that should be here any day.
To be honest it is very frustrating how much I've struggled keeping my weight down, especially since I am pretty active, especially running so much. I feel like it's another year with the same issues. I have kept in mind that 4 years ago I wouldn't be able to just go out and run 5 miles without dying and I do look a lot better than I did 4 years ago. I also need to keep in mind that when I was down to 135 I was running 5 to 6 days a week and I am hoping after my foot heals I can go back to that.
