I DID IT!!! I DID IT!!!!!

[HoneyBear]

I am pleased as punch with myself!! :D

I WENT ON MY WALK TODAY!! I walked all the way from my bus yard over to the light rail! I even did it with an ingrown toenail. How's that for "no whining"? ;)

I am hereby committing to walking tomorrow, too. I'll write here tomorrow and let you guys know how it went. I'm OP too. I am so pleased with myself!!! :D :D :D I'm also pleased with all of you . I know you'll be here for me, and that helps me put one foot in front of the other, the way I need to do it sometimes. THANK YOU!!!! :D :D :D

Thanks for all the support! :D

Nothing is worse to me than to have something fantastic happen to me and to have not a soul to tell it to. :( But I apparently don't have to worry about that happening again, not with 25000 Buddies on my side! :D :D :D

Toe is slightly better, despite the punishment it's taking. I'm walking again today.

[BTW, I walk 20 min. every day (10 min. + another 10), but I *need* to up it to 30, which is what I *finally* accomplished yesterday. I needed to tell someone about that accomplishment. So I came here. And I promise I will bring my problems, too.]

Thanks again!

Way to go Honeybear!

I have suffered ingrown toenails all my life, finally ended up having surgery that cut out about 1/4 of my nail on the inside, now they grow out a bit slanted but I haven't had an ingrown for years and years. DH still gets them, he refuses to see a doctor (typical man :rolleyes: ) so I usually make him soak his sore foot in warm salt water for 10-15mins twice a day. That helps him a lot, maybe you can try it!

Here's to lots more walking graemlins/bcbsalute.gif

Way to go Honey Bear! Keep up the good work! Glad to know your toe isn't paining you too badly.
What determination!

Best,

Zaybe

Honeybear!

Way to go! You are doing an awesome job and we are right here to help ya continue! Keep it up sweetie. Hope you toe gets better, I've never had one but my mom does - ooooh so painful!

[HoneyBear]

I did it again! :D

And BTW, the pain in my toe is even worse. But it is ok enough to do my walk. It's like a vicious cycle: if I don't walk, I stay fat, and stay diabetic, slowly falling apart and losing body parts I'd like to keep. But if I do walk, miracles occur, my fat falls off, my diabetes reverses, I get to buy some nice outfits in a small size, etc. Plus I get to keep all my body parts. Some incentive, eh? ;)

WALK TIL YOU DROP! graemlins/bcbsalute.gif
