Freudian Foot Issues

Sigh. I’m having foot issues again. This time I stubbed my right foot so badly it broke one of my toes clean in two. That was two weeks ago, I have another 2-4 weeks before it’s fully healed. I have to wear a boot brace and walk on crutches when I don’t wear it, in order to stay off the foot completely. It’s very tedious and tiring, and my toes hurts all the time. The doctor gave me a prescription for pain medications but they make me very drowsy and out of it so I don’t like to take them. The whole thing is aggravating my nerves. I’m really pissed with myself because last summer I sprained my left ankle really bad. What does it mean that I keep hurting my feet area?

I hope the doc clears me ok to run in the half-marathon in September…I really would like to do it. After that maybe I’ll stop running, because the more the I think on it the more I think that perhaps I really don’t like running and/or want to stop running…messing up my feet is an easy way out. But so is simply stopping my running habit. I feel like I know myself fairly well and I’m open to change, so this seems like a bizarre way for me to get myself to stop an activity. Maybe I’m over thinking it…the foot stuff could just all be pure accident and coincidence, nothing more.

Taking Time To Heal

Since I’ve been off my feet due to my busted ankle, I have not been able to walk much, work much, or run at all. I’ve gained 3 pounds just sitting around. Oh well I will just have to watch my food intake for the next couple of weeks since I am not able to be as active during this time.

Today’s Health Goals:
Upper body stretching 15 minutes
Drink 120 oz water
One serving meals, seconds declined
No salt added to food
Raw veggies for snacks
Brush & floss after every meal
Today’s weigh-in: 155 pounds
