A little late with this comment, but I too started experiencing some heal pain with my Vibrams. Mine was on the inside right heal, about an 1" above the bottom of my foot. I've done my best to stretch it and lightly massage it and it seems to have worked itself out. But I also don't run in mine. Hope yours ends up as innocuous as mine!

Oh, we're whining? Awesome!
I broke down and ate pizza and even though I just scraped off the cheese and meat and didn't eat much bread I gained back two pounds! Blaming it on TOM, who has been a BITCH this week. Also? The pizza wasn't even that good!

I'm starting to hate my job, but I can't leave it because I'll never find another one that pays as well and lets me work at home, but oh god some days I want to scream and strangle my boss and just throw all the (virtual) paper out a window. There's no possible way of doing it all, and more keeps coming.

I WANT A BROWNIE. AND A DRINK. OR TWO.

I also want someone to come clean and organize my ludicrously messy house for me, please.

Okay, I think that's all my whining. Thanks! :-)

I miss this yesterday.. so I'm going to whine.
Jan, I have that exact dream. We can do it. Foodies unite.

- I hate my job. utterly hate. We're in mandatory overtime season right now, I'm 2 months overdue for my yearly review and possible raise.. but my measly raise doesn't matter to them.. so I still haven't received anything.
- I hate school right now. It doesn't feel like it fits. Trying to transplant myself from BFA to Photography to second BS in Molecular Bio is probably a bad idea.
- I hate Florida. But it's been nice the last few days, weather wise.
- My father is keeping his health problems secret. I found out tonight some that have me worried.

:: deep breath ::

okay.. that was nice.

whine not wine! I'm hoping it works... well, i feel a tiny bit better now b/c i've at least seen the sun (in oregon!), but the rains are a'coming... better to match my mood, i guess...

honestly, who cares if you're last as long as you're doing it! and you're doing it, lady! remember, 30 lbs lost but added muscle gain.

my whine, i need more attention. feeling marginalized at home and at work.

I am at a super motivation low lately that is driving me batty.

-I stalled and have not gone to crossfit in over a week, barely once a week for the last 3, and have no desire to go anytime soon. Considering skipping Oct all together to save funds
-I have not cooked much in the last 3 weeks which started because DH was out of town and has now turned into a 'I dont wanna cook anymore' phase
-I managed to lose about 5 stubborn lbs in the last couple weeks (mostly because I am too lazy to cook and eat much atm), but still all my pants are tight and its making me cranky
-I spent far too much money this week and being that we are on a tight budget the next month or two will be painful and I am kicking myself in the rear
-I am doing Thanksgiving here this year and my lack of cooking motivation has me super dreading getting ready for that (along with MIL coming to stay for that week)

Yea, that was whiney.....maybe I needed that.

2010-10-06T11:13:04.413-07:00

OH i hear ya on the alchoholic beverage point... the past two weekends i had a few glasses of wine, plus some in the evening to help with procreation recreation (ahem tmi?) and BABAAAAM! my weight not only stalled but shot up!
i am in mourning because i have certain levels in my own weightloss milestones that i dont want to touch again. staggering close made me teary eyed and a salad fiend.
the only difference was the wine.
i have had a random bit of chocolate, maybe an extra bit of cheese, perhaps an odd teeny slice of wedding cake... nothing has made more of an impact then alchohol - it takes a good week for my system to go back to normal.
V hazzza sad too... :'(

2010-10-06T10:35:02.239-07:00

Mine's not too terribly different from Robin's: I hate my job. Let me reiterate: I. Hate. My. Job. Unfortunately, my job is helping my husband run his business (he LOVES his job) and I cannot send out resumes. He's saying we're going to put someone else in the extremely boring Ops/bookkeeping position at the first of the year, but I'm not holding my breath. That would mean I could work part-time doing the things I find tolerable (payroll, 401K admin, graphics, maintain the website, etc) and spend the rest of my time convincing myself yes, I can make a career out of being a food writer/photographer at 48.

Shhh. That's my fantasy and I'll jab you repeatedly in the kneecaps with a barbecue fork if you attempt to convince me that's all it is.

And the sun hasn't shined in 3 days. Seasonal Affective Disorder anyone?

2010-10-06T09:37:51.404-07:00

I can help with the cereal thing!
1) Bake a batch of primal muffins.
2) Crumble the muffins onto a parchment lined baking sheet and bake at 400 until they are little crispy nuggets.
3) Mix the cooled muffin nuggets with shredded coconut, raisins, slivered almonds, sunflower seeds - really anything little and primal.
4) Eat! You could pour coconut milk or regular milk on top but I like to top it with plain greek yogurt.

2010-10-06T09:22:01.719-07:00

Oh, and things that are bugging me? It's fall weather and I can't run b/c I have a cough that has settled in my chest. I got it from my husband, his turned into pneumonia, and so now i'm just held hostage trying to piss it off. GAH.

2010-10-06T09:16:28.052-07:00

Is UNREASONABLE to me that I cannot have Cheerios with every single meal. I simply do not understand it, nor do I like it. Seriously, cereal is the HARDEST part of Primal for me. No sugar? Whatever! No bread? Fine! No Cheerios? WHA?????

So, anyway, I feel ya on that.

also: You're down 30 pounds? Holy shit that is AMAZING. AMAZING.

2010-10-06T09:10:06.302-07:00

I was just telling Garrett last night that it is going to be an adjustment for me doing Crossfit because for a while I am pretty sure I am ALWAYS going to be last. And even though I know I'm truly just competing with myself, IT STILL SUCKS. If I'm going to feel lame, I'd like to feel lame while sitting on my couch eating a bowl of cereal, you know -- not, say busting my ass to it's full potential and still being LAST. Ugh. Also, we are relandscaping our front and back yard and I'm so tired of all coming home from a long day of work, having to climb over 900 million pieces of schrapnel, and getting all of my dress shoes covered in mud when I am just trying to get into my mothereffing house! I know it is only temporary and I am grateful to have the job done but I really feel whiiiiiny about it.

That sucks! I've been primal for a month no...

2010-10-06T08:56:37.045-07:00

That sucks!

I've been primal for a month now, I've changed my shape but I weigh the same and I'm still barely in my same pants size! What is UP with that?!?!?!

Plus, my hair looks ridiculous right now!

Well, since you asked... 1. I HATE my job. I'...

2010-10-06T08:41:22.384-07:00

Well, since you asked...

1. I HATE my job. I've submitted resumes. I haven't heard anything back from anyone.

2. I am in a major food rut. I made a fairly disgusting dinner last night because it was quick and it was primal. But, it was disgusting.

3. The sun hasn't shined in 3 days.

Hope you're feeling marginally better since you let it all out. Miss you!
