Ow

Remember when I mentioned that my right big toe has been bothering me? Well today the entire bottom of my right foot hurts. Ow. I walked for about 45 minutes last night. Nothing extraordinary happened so what is up with my damn foot? Could it be from walking on the treadmill? Ow, ow, OW.

Speaking of the treadmill. I'm such a dork! The Saint bought me the treadmill last Christmas so I've been using it on and off for the past seven month, right? I never read the directions, just starting using it. There are ten buttons across the bottom and each represents a speed: 1 MPH, 2 MPH, 3 MPH, etc. At the bottom right are two speed bottons: one with an up arrow and one with a down arrow. I never pushed the arrow buttons until last night. The arrow buttons increase your speed by a tenth so I can go from 3 MPH to 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, etc. This makes it much easier to increase my speed so that rather than jumping from 3 MPH all the way to 4 MPH I can do it gradually. D'oh!

The boys surprised me last night.They took a pass on Hooters and we went to Macaroni Grill instead. They both ordered Chicken Parm and I ordered Mediterranean Shrimp from the Sensible Fare section. We took my mom to the Grill for Mother's Day and I ordered the same thing. It was much better this time around. Shrimp and a salad of cucumber, greens, tomatoes and FF feta. I don't remember how many calories but supposedly 1 gram of fat. And yummy.

My main diet problem at the moment seems to be eating too much candy which is weird because I'm normally a salty, crunchy snacker.

Sox lost last night to the Royals but Greg Maddux of the Cubs got his 3,000th career strikeout even after sitting through a long rain delay.
