I had a few really tough and dark chapters there, and stopped logging in to SparkPeople. *sigh*

I'm examining my life again and looking to make healthful choices. There were things I did to cope that weren't very "healthy" but were still necessary for my health, mentally or one way or another.

At this point I need to re-synch my Fitbit with this site, if I can, and then go from there. I suffered from a bulging disc a couple of months ago and it has been dibilitating and painful in a way I've never experienced before. Even with the main issue of the sciatica pain being somewhat relieved, I have terrible heel pain, probably from years of unaddressed plantar fascitits. My Dr. went straight to prescribing surgery for my back.

So - first things first, I'm going to find some calf stretching exercises and order feet splints for sleeping.
