Ok...so I did a 10 mile walk over the weekend and it kicked my butt!! I guess it was the combination of mowing my lawn twice, pulling weeds and then the next morning walking 10 miles! I did pretty good when I was walking except for a little pain in my thighs and the pads of my feet. I think I was overcompensating for my feet pain and walking wrong so my hips were hurting on Saturday and Sunday. I am recouped now just in time for more walking! I went to the New Balance store and the very nice and helpful people there helped me get some pressure relief insoles for my shoes and I could tell a difference in my shoes the moment they put them in. I haven't done any major walking in them yet, cuz I took my shoes off as soon as I got in the car, but I will see this weekend if they help out. I am going to my brother's house for a mother's day cookout and I am going to walk there..about 4 1/2 miles each way. So only time will tell if the insoles will help!
On a different note...I am graduating in less than 2 weeks!! Can you believe it?!? I am so ready for this semester to be over and to focus on other things! I have my finals next week and then I walk to get my diploma on the 15th!! I can't wait!!
Working on my yard(driving me crazy with dandelions and my grass is growing like crazy!). I guess it is giving me a work out that is for sure! I spent over an hour yesterday using a whole container of Weed n Feed to kill the weeds in my yard, hopefully it works!
On to team news...this month we are having a Pampered Chef online fundraiser for team Mammaritaville! From 5/1-5/22!
