So tired. It snowed lightly off and on today. So far, no accumulation in town. I did Weeks 1 & 2 of Jillian's Ripped in 30. It was very good exercise. The difference, though, with YMCA fitness classes are that they change day to day. Eventually, I get bored with an exercise DVD which is why I don't do them often. Only did one today because I was loathe to go out in the freezing cold and blowing snow.
I picked up 4 new orthotics yesterday in Albuquerque. He says each pair is different and I should let him know which works best for me and he'll make more of that kind and ship them to me. I tried one pair last night. It didn't ease the left foot's ball of foot pain. I'll keep evaluating the others. They all feel fine just wearing them around the house but when I go outdoors and hike fast, it's a different story and they cause pain.
Wish that the Richie-type brace was more comfortable. Now that I have the new orthotics, I may start only wearing the brace around the house all day and wear the orthotics on hikes. The brace can make my arch really ache after I hike a steep, rough, rocky trail.
Made yeast-free whole wheat bread (extremely dense!), napa cabbage coleslaw and apricot-almond bars. Worked in kitchen for 4 hours but that shouldn't tire me out this much. I feel like going to bed right now and it's only 8 pm.
