Just melts your heart
I was awakened this morning by a stealthy baby. She sat up in bed which woke me up, but I feigned sleep in the hopes that she’d lie back down. Instead, she crawled over to me and on top of my head (my back was to her) and planted a big kiss on my cheek.
How could I pretend to sleep through that? What a sweet way to wake up.
I went to see a doctor today about the pain in my heel. I have plantar fasciitis. I’m basically supposed to take some Advil and call him in a month. And I can’t use the treadmill anymore.
Speaking of which, I went to the gym yesterday even though I had an upset tummy and oh. my. gosh. I was weak as a kitten. I did my leg strength training, then went to the treadmill for 30 mins or so of cardio, and I lasted for five whole minutes. And that was a stretch. For the rest of the night I was completely weak in the knees, and not in a good way. I feel much better today, but I can definitely tell that I shouldn’t have gone yesterday because I really overworked myself – and that at lower weights on the machines than I normally use.
On the plus side (minus side), the doctor’s scale today confirmed my scale, which means that I really have lost 15 pounds. I had a dreadful fear that my scale was 10 pounds light or something.
I got my ultimate iPod accessory kit in the mail today but it came too late. The damned screen is already scratched.
Heavy sigh.

I’ve had plantar fasciitis too, in both feet (but not at the same time). It really inhibited me for a long team each time. I started riding a bike for exercise. Sometimes if I walk too long and hard I ache. Very vexing!
Your wee one’s morning kiss made me smile.

Awww that’s so sweet, your baby. Almost makes me wish I had one of my own… *almost*. My dogs aren’t allowed in the bedroom, but I’m sure waking up to a face full of moldy-fish breath wouldn’t be nearly as nice.
Sorry to hear about your foot… Hope you recover soon!

stealthy babies are da bomb. so is losing 15 lbs. i am going to pester my mother-in-law next week to watch the kids so i can start going to the gym myself. it’s just hard because i hate to ask people for things. especially when they already do so much for me.
sigh.
