About to Retire Trusty Walking Shoes

by Trula on August 23, 2009 · 2 Comments

I’ve had these shoes for awhile, they are uber comfy but about worn through. I use them just for walking. Will get a new pair of walking shoes soon, also a new pair of running shoes. I think my feet have changed; I used to have really flat feet but now it feels I’ve developed [...]

Edema Feet

by Trula on August 20, 2009 · No Comments

I should know by now to leave salt alone…I am so senstive to salt, that even a little causes my ankles and feet to swell. I was going to take a pic of my ankles but they were just too gross. The swelling on my feet is not a whole lot, but it wasn’t a [...]

I had a therapy appointment yesterday, and afterwards realized I am in no emotional state to fast. I didn’t tell the therapist about it, only that I wasn’t eating much. Overall I feel good about the decision because I don’t think a fast will work while I am still in so much emotional turbulence. Today’s [...]

I’ve decided to go on a 60-day juice fast! I’ve done some research on it and I believe this will be a great help to me in learning personal discipline as well as healing my water-retention issues. Luckily we already have a juicer so making fresh juice is no problem. I’m excited about this! Check [...]

Toe Healed!

by Trula on August 11, 2009 · No Comments

My broken toe is finally healed, it took 8 weeks! I haven’t tried to run on it yet though, I’m going to wait a bit for that. But it sure is nice to walk around without crutches or without the special foot boot. Just being up on both feet this past week I’ve lost 2 [...]
