Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will. -Mahatma Gandhi

Finding a way to fix the foot comfort issue

It was a good walking day.  My knees are not giving me any problems so far.  The only issue is still the pads of my feets, irritated with blisters once again...even with the double layered socks.  Yesterday I ordered  a pair of shoes 1/2 size bigger.  Today I ordered the same shoe, one size bigger.  That way I will have them both at the same time to compare, which one fits the best. Then I will just ship back the other.   For the next two weeks I am going to alternate walking 2.30 mile days and one mile days.  Then the two weeks after that I will ease into 3.5 miles, by alternating that with 2.30 miles.  Slowly easing my way up to 5 miles.

Yesterday I  did not do the weight training, but did after my walk this morning.  Two weeks with no lifting weights,  threw all the weight training I did out the window...cause I was a sweating more than usual and I had to pause between repetitions, this morning.

This morning I ate a banana after my walk.  Not really hungry and not sure why.  Yesterday I was running errands and really not hungry, so lunch did not happen.  For dinner I had a bowl of wild rice blend with raw red onions, raw carrots and grilled chicken strips.  Later I had a banana and a frozen strawberry fruit bar.
