It’s all up to me

I have been sidelined by blisters.  When I wore my cute dress and shoes on Thursday I got knocked back down to earth by the damage that was done to my feet.  I truly thought the shoes were going to be comfy but I could not have been more wrong.  I have a blister on my left foot that is making it nearly impossible to wear shoes.  Yesterday we had a school spirit day so I was able to wear a t-shirt and shorts, which meant that I could also wear tennies.  I put some Liquid Bandage on the blister and threw a couple of bandaids on it.  By the time school was over I could feel the blister through the bandaid!  So right now I’m trying to do as much w/o shoes as possible, which is comical since I have to wear a shoe on my other foot.  I’m continually walking lopsided.  Anyway, I’m hoping the open air will dry out the blister so it will be tough enough to wear shoes soon.

So obviously I haven’t exercised for a while.  I skipped it on Thurs. b/c my feet were raw and had considered going yesterday after school but my hubby called and we had to pick out a new kitchen cabinet (long story).  I still have done my 10 minutes of pilates in the morning and I’m hoping this weekend I’ll be able to do a longer pilates/yoga DVD since I always struggle w/my diet when I don’t exercise.  But even though I’m panicked about not exercising, I know that taking this break will get me back on my feet more quickly than just pushing through.
