This morning I finally got on the scale. For the first time in over a month, I think. And while the numbers I saw on the display weren’t shocking because I know I’ve been sabotaging my weight loss by not counting points, not attending WW meetings, and basically not caring about what I was eating [...]

OMG! I had so much fun tonight at the Aqua class. There were people of all shapes and sizes at the class, and it was so nice to feel like I wasn’t the heaviest one in the room, for once. Everyone was so warm and welcoming, which was great. I can’t even tell you how [...]

For the first time in a long time, I’m really excited about going to the gym tonight!
If you’ve read any of the posts I wrote yesterday (and there are LOTS to choose from), you know that the TNT trainings haven’t made me feel very successful. Yes, when I’ve finished a long walk I have a [...]
A battery of tests

Today I went to Kaiser for a couple of tests to see if my doctor can determine the cause of the numbness. (Are you getting as tired as I am of reading that phrase?)
First up was an ultrasound of my legs. I pictured myself lying on a bed, goo smothered over both naked thighs and [...]

Be forewarned, this is going to be a L-O-N-G post, but I hope it will be worth it, because there’s so much to tell!
The Plan
My friend, Harj, decided that for her 30th birthday this year, she wanted to invite a bunch of her girlfriends to participate in the different Mermaid events taking place at [...]
TNT Training On Hold

When I left the doctor’s office on Friday, I really didn’t know how to feel. Part of me was relieved that I wouldn’t have to attempt the 10-mile walk on Saturday, because I was feeling very unprepared to try to walk that distance. Especially considering the numbness was occurring at the 1 1/2 to 2 [...]
A visit to the doctor

I was anxious for my doctor’s appointment on Friday for a couple of reasons. First because I hadn’t met her before, and I wanted to see what she was like. (I had a different doctor a couple of years ago whose cold demeanor wasn’t doing it for me, so I chose Dr. Chau from a [...]
Looking for answers

If only the answers to my numbness could be snappy!!
Thursday morning after my first class, I headed to the running store, hoping against hope that they would have the answer to this problem with the numbness in my feet.
I spoke to the owner, and he said that my shoes were the right ones for [...]
Track Practice – From Bad to Worse
Posted in Team in Training, goals, health, walking, tagged foot numbness, track practice on March 23, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I went to the track practice on Wednesday ready to walk. My blisters had healed, and I was ready to use this new “it doesn’t matter if I’m slow” philosophy on the track.
Things started out ok; I walked 3 times around the track without much complaint. I mean, my calves always give me some pain [...]
Blisters!
Posted in Team in Training, walking, tagged blisters on March 23, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Rule #1 for avoiding blisters – don’t unlace your shoes! This causes your feet to be able to slide around in your shoes, and no matter what kind of moisture-wicking fabric your socks are made of, blisters will ensue!
Yes, I had major blisters on my feet on Saturday after my 6 mile walk. I could [...]
