----------------------------------------------------------------------
Exhaustion - I have been utterly exhausted for no reason.  Just zapped of energy.  I think it's the cold weather, lack of sunlight, and cloudy days.  I have been drinking lots of water, eating fairly well, not gaining any weight (whew!), but none of it seems to boost my energy levels.  I love coffee, but it really disrupts my sleep, so I'm going to lay off until I start feeling normal again.

Having fun with GMB fitness - I've been experimenting with the free GMB fitness videos, and they're a lot of fun.  Right now I want to focus on crushing my PT test over the next few months, then I really want to finish the Insanity challenge (derailed after I fell down the stairs).  If I finish the Insanity challenge I might try the GMB Elements program.  I am really drawn to the increased flexibility and strength through movement and having fun. 

Foot - I really need to schedule an appt for my poor foot.  Dress shoes are killing me my bones.  I can't even step forward into a lunge with my left foot.

Ouch - I fell down the stairs on the 28th,and my left back and hand took the brunt. Ugh! I think I have to start the Insanity Challenge all over again!  I've been trying to foam roll, do cat/cow exercises, and stretching.  It hurts to even walk, esp up the stairs.  Let's hope this subsides soon.

 

2018 Family Fitness - My mom, sister, and I are going to walk/run/elliptical 2018 miles as a team next year. We are very excited. (I just hope I'm healed from my aforementioned accident!)

Foot - I do think my left foot is getting a bunion.  I have all the signs.  A bunion??  Really??  I'm using a toe spacer, reducing walking around, and trying to stretch out my foot throughout the day.  It hurts like hell though.  Stupid dress shoes!
