I promised a blog with pics 2 weeks after my vacay in August ... well, we returned August 30th ... it is now October 22nd ... how about 2 months?! Geez, where has the time gone ... it just blows my mind ...
So the vacay was wonderful, the weather was hot hot hot and the beach was fabulous. We did way way too much shopping, but I did get lots of Christmas presents bought. I just have one big problem ... I'm still in vacay mode. I'm way off my program ... we've been so busy since we got back that we've been eating out too much, snacking too much, not eating as healthy as we should ... and the weight isn't coming off anymore. I'm holding my own, but not losing. I have
always found fall to be one of the most difficult times of the year to lose weight ... my birthday, our wedding anniversary, then Christmas. And food centres around all of them. This year I'm struggling with worsening Fibromyalgia symptoms, which drains all of my energy, then I just don't seem to be able to keep motivated to be good. It's been a real struggle the last 2 months. But I've gotten over an arm injury (went back to the gym and worked a little too hard too fast, gave myself golfer's elbow ... hurt like #*%&!) I also participated in Light The Night Ottawa October 16th, which was AMAZING ... great, uplifting experience. 5km walk along the Rideau Canal in the dark with lit balloons ... over 1000 people walking for a cure for Leukemia & Lymphoma. Fabulous experience! And we stayed at my beautiful niece's home so I got to spend time with 
my adorable little 6 month-old great niece, Kaylie! Such a great weekend! But the heel spur I've been getting acupuncture treatment for since July isn't going away, so final decision of my chiropractor this week is to go on crutches for 2 weeks to let it heal. Heal the heel ... love the homonym!!
So no gym or Wii Fit for 2 weeks ... I've gotta get the heel healed for my friends wedding November 13th or I'll be in a dress and running shoes ... geez, what a sight that conjures up!! UUGH And my annual Christmas sale is November 20th, at which I'll be on my feet all day ... so gotta get the heel healed for that, too.
It's going to be a challenging 2 weeks, but it will go fast ... and at the end I hopefully won't have any more heel pain. Oh, but the food prep on one foot, not gonna be fun ... lack of exercise for 2 weeks is gonna be hard on the scale, too ... maybe hubby and the kids will cook!! AHEM ...
Okay ... well ... I'll keep y'all posted on that!!
Thanks for reading!
Hugs!
