Slowly walking the path

This is week 4, another 3 pound weight loss! I'm calling this post 'slowly walking' because that is literally what I'm doing. Just as soon as I got my left knee rehabbed, I developed plantar fasciitis in my right foot! Getting out of bed in the morning is pure torture- then it gets better, then it gets worse again. Sigh-- going to physical therapy now twice a week, getting custom made orthotics and a splint to wear at night. There goes my walking program!
Perhaps this is the push I need to to joing the Y or a gym, and start working with a trainer. No reason I couldn't do strength training or an exercise bike until the heel gets better.

Today is my birthday- no celebrating going on here! No special dinner (well, a soft cooked egg instead of a diet shake!). I've been on this path before, and managed to have a huge 50th celebration while maintaining my liquid diet. Food will still be around next year. Of course, it's easier to do without the food when there are other celebratory things going on, but that doesn't seem to be the case this year. Seems the special day has been forgotten by nearly everyone but me.
