Ouch |
So far, this is more like fat man limping 
I started going to the gym last Thursday and the trainer has me alternating walking and running. I’ll be blunt… there’s a lot of walking. I’ve got some new shoes on order that I hope are going to help, but right now my shins hurt like the blazes. I’ve got these weird little knots on the muscle that goes up over my shins. It gets so tight I have to stop and do some ankle rotations to work it out. I’m not sure if it’s the weight, my shoes, or the fact that I am badly out of shape. Hoping it goes away!
The shoes I ordered are marketed as being for guys with flat feet (check!), over-pronation (I looked it up… check!) and being on the heavy side (triple check!). So I am very hopeful. On the diet front I’m adding a lot more fruit, but I need to work on the green stuff. And I have got to cut out all the cookies. I’m trying to use those 100 Calorie packs. I like them a lot, I just want to eat like 2 or 3 in a sitting. I had said I was going low carb I know. I’m working my way to it! Anyway… onward I go.
