susandennisI finally came to the conclusion that my non-thong flip flops were causing the nerve issues in my foot. I stopped wearing them about a week ago and have not had a single nerve twinge. BUT, they are wonderful for to and from the pool each morning and not bad for around the house. And mostly they offer perfect foamy arch support which make even my legs feel better. I have not had a thong between my toes for a hundred years so my toes are not trained or callused. But, they can learn. I know they can. So I got them a pair of thonged flip flops with amazing arch support.
I wore them a little yesterday and to the pool and back today. My toes are not thrilled but also are not ready to revolt. The current plan is to give them some gradual flip flop time. They do feel fabulous on my feet other than the toes.
I have an increasing list of errands to run in town but none are critical and I probably won't go today. The Mariners game is at 4. I ordered beef stroganoff for dinner to be picked up at 3. The menus for next week came out today and they are very meh. Their strog is usually decent and one serving is about 4 dinners. It also freezes, thaws and reheats well. And they are also having a big Memorial Day buffet on Monday. For some reason, their Memorial Day meals are the best of all their holiday meals. So that's my meal plan for next week. Doesn't take much these days.
My Mom spent her entire life trying to lose weight. She was never obese. She was short but probably topped out at 175 when she was pregnant. She was always trying to lose 20 to 30 pounds. Always. And she tried everything - everything legal and somethings not so legal. She never ate a single calorie that she didn't count and log. A GLP-1 would have changed her life. I think about that a lot. And am even more grateful.
