OK so something happened with my computer and I have to re type my entire post. Very Frustrating! ... Anyway...
Over the weekend I tried some new foods. The first item I tried was a CranBran Vita Top from the Vitalicious company. Vita Tops are delicious muffin tops that only have 100 calories and a lot of fiber and protein. They are a great breakfast, snack or dessert depending on the flavor that you like. I usually have the deep chocolate and it really fills my chocolate craving during the day. On Saturday I wanted a light breakfast so I decided to have half a grapefruit with a CranBran Vita Top and I was happily surprised to find out that the muffin was very tasty. You can purchase Vitalicious products online at Vitalicious.com or in the health food freezer aisle in the grocery store.
The other new food was a yummy fruit smoothie that I found while perusing the grocery store health food section. Another girl was stocking up on her weekly supply of fruit smoothies and it caught my interest. She was buying Bolthouse Farms Berry Boost fruit smoothies and they looked delicious. The women at the market said she loved them and enjoyed the smoothie for breakfast, so I decided to buy it and try it. When I got home I was very curious and needed to taste the smoothie, so I poured this thick 100% fruit juice smoothie into a glass and took a sip. It was very good and I am excited to have something new to drink besides water, sparkling water and skim milk. :)
I have also been running in the morning on the weekend and noticed during my run that the outside of my right foot is sore. So while running my errands today I stopped at the New Balance store because I recently bought new 600 series New Balance running shoes at DSW because I had a coupon. This store also has a pressure pad that helps choose the right shoes for your body. The results of this pressure test were informative but frustrating at the same time. Come to find out my feet over pronate which causes pain in the outside of my right foot. Pronation is the pressure that your feet make when your heel touches the ground to when your toes push off the ground. A normal person will pronate or roll in a small percentage but to much of a roll causes problems. Once the salesman new this, he pointed me to a sneaker that is suppose to support my heel and ankle so it doesn't move while running. He also informed me that my 600 series shoes aren't going to help my feet. A little frustrated I looked at the sneakers he offered (not planning on purchasing another pair of shoes) and then I looked at the price. Wow! $129.99! I think I will stick with the sneakers I bought and deal with a little bit of pain, especially considering this is my first experience running.
To end my post I must add that I'm a little nervous about weigh in tomorrow morning, I don't think I lost weight this week and I am ready to accept that as an outcome, but I am staying positive until I see the results tomorrow. Have a great night!
You could always purchase inserts for your current sneakers. I went shoe shopping with my girlfriend, a podiatrist, a few years ago and she helped me select a great pair of sneakers. She also recommended having a podiatrist fit me for inserts should I ever need them. I wonder whether your insurance would cover something like that . . .
