Yesterday I got new shoes hoping that they would help with my toes. Well, it looks like the person that fitted me 3 months ago accidently put me in a size that was 1/2 a size too small!! I should have been in 8's these past 300 miles and I was in 7 1/2's!!! The girl told me that this is probably what started my toe problem. I am hoping that these new shoes will work wonders. They aren't as cute as my pink running shoes but they will do the trick.
Today I am going to go and get weighed in at Weight Watchers and I am fully expecting to have gained at least 2 pounds this past week. For starters, I ate 2 HUGE pieces of lasagna last night before I went to bed. What was I thinking????? I just had a really emotional day yesterday with it being the first day of school that I couldn't help it. I am going to start new today and try to have a GREAT week!!
Sorry for such a negative post but I wanted to share my ups AND downs on my journey. Please keep my toes in your thoughts. I really want to be able to run the marathon in 4 1/2 weeks. :)
Sorry you're having a ratty week so far. Sending lots of good thoughts and healing energy to your toes so that you will be in tip top shape for the marathon. Remember how far you've come! eileen xox
ReplyDeleteRobyn - hang in there honey - you are doing fantastic!!! You have been training for a marathon, so of course you need to eat more - so don't be so hard on yourself. Go see a doctor NOW about your toes so you don't make them worse - if you have to take a few days off of training it will be ok - maybe you can swim or do the bike to keep up your endurance while your toes heal. Sounds like the new shoes will help too. Look how much you have accomplished already - this is just a minor setback in the grand scheme of things and you WILL get through it!! {{hugs}}
ReplyDeleteYou totally have to turn this into a positive...it was two (albeit large) pieces of lasagna...but at least it wasn't two large pieces of chocolate cake...right???!!! Keep at it girl...you are doing wonderfully!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is so terrible! It is so weird because on Monday I went visiting teaching and I was talking about my amazing friends (you) and telling about all the stuff you do...well anyway the lady said she had a friend who ran marathons and her feet got all bloody and stuff. I said oh, no! I hope that doesn't happen to Robyn. Then you post this. I hope you recover soon! You are amazing! Love ya, Jen
ReplyDeleteOuch! Hope the dr has a good cure for your toezies! Hang in there!!
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear about your toes! I really know how you feel about the two pound gain as I am also a Weight Watcher. I wish you a big loss next week! Hang in there and I hope your toes feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteBTW...When my brother was running Marathons, he had a different shoe for everyday of the week. I will have to ask him so more tips. Do you have a Teva or Chico you could use the next few days? Get better soon. Luv, Jen
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on hitting goal.You are doing wonderful with your weight loss. I am a lifetimer at WW and have maintained for 7 years. Good luck on your marathon and I hope those toes heal soon.
ReplyDeleteWell...without the downs, you wouldn't have the ups and I think that's what makes you such a great person is that you share both. You are so inspirational to me. Please keep sharing and I will pray for healing of your toes!

Have you ever considered going on a Raw diet? I would suggest adding more living foods to your diet. Cooked food adds stress to your body because your body has to come up with the enzymes necessary to break down the food you eat. With a raw diet, the food you eat breaks itself down. You don't have to go 100%, try 50% raw, you will feel better, less emotional and have more energy.
