I admit, to littlewonder, I had plantars faciitis in both feet last summer, and it sucked because I missed Zumba for nearly 2 months because of it. I admit the most helpful advice I received (and did) for it was: * Buy lacrosse balls. Roll your feet on them regularly - up and down, left and right. Roll them until you're in tears from the pain. It massages the faciia and stretches it out. Does wonders. I did this at night, and also keep a lacrosse ball at my desk to roll my foot on from time to time. * Epson salt baths in hot water. Miracle cure. I don't know what it is about that stuff, but wow. I started going to Zumba again, although no jumping, and I'd get home and give my feet a long hot Epson salt soak followed by the lacrosse ball exercise, and I'd be pain free the next morning. I admit, to sunshine miss, your worries are all yours and are very real. It serves no purpose to compare them to others. If they're affecting you, then they're important. I admit we had our department holiday party last Friday and it was amazingly awesome. I admit we had my mom's 80th birthday party and there were some family issues but I'm trying to let them go. It was mostly a nice event. I admit on Sunday I called my mom to see how she was doing and she spent over an hour on the phone complaining in the most severe way, about how she can't count on her kids to take care of her and she's just going to stay home and die alone. I admit I could hardly get a word in, and it was extremely draining and upsetting. I admit later Sunday evening the Mister & I had a conversation about moving, and provisions should something happen to him, and finances. I admit it ended up being a very frustrating conversation for both of us, as we both had trouble seeing the other's point of view. I admit this resulted in a very difficult argument (which we so rarely have), and him deciding to go home. I admit it was an upsetting night and I had very little sleep. I admit I took yesterday off just to recuperate and to sleep, and it was good for me to have that down time. I admit we've since talked a bit and we're getting together tomorrow to talk in person some more. I admit it's finally starting to really dawn on me that I'm moving in a month. I admit I'm going to really miss my gym family, my trainer/zumba/RIPPED instructor, and going to my neighborhood gym every morning before work (I'll be 45 min away). I'm currently there 5-6 times a week. These are friends I see regularly that I won't see so much anymore. I admit there are major life changes ahead, for sure. I admit I'm excited and a little scared at the same time.
