stinky feet


So last week I finally went to the foot doctor. I've had problems with my feet for a long time and it's been making it almost impossible to stay active and do the things I normally love to do. Walking for a longer period of time gets really painful... so the nice doctor told me that I had Plantar Fasciitis which is a painful inflammation and it's probably been caused from my 10 years working for IKEA running around on concrete floors.. I was kind of hoping that it would be something that they could just cut up my feets and fix... There isn't really a cure for this. He gave me a bunch of stretching exercises that I have to do every day and hopefully it will help and make it better. I know that I can kiss all my pretty high heel shoes goodbye though which makes me really sad..

I don't want to wear orthopedic ugly Minnie Mouse shoes for the rest of my life!!!

I can do it!



I really don't know how it happened... but slowly I've put on weight. I guess that's how it works... Been eating a little too much.. and eating things I probably shouldn't.. Sitting behind my desk all day and then in my studio all night. I am only 5'3" so when I finally stood on my scale in bathroom and discovered that I now weigh 63 kg I wanted to cry. It's time to deal with it. So I've setup my mountainbike on a trainer in the living room and I am determined to bike it off. And keep it off! It's been really hard working a full time job and running my Etsy shop with only 24 hours in a day. I've been on vacation from my Etsy shop the past couple of weeks to catch up with life and I have another 2 weeks before I reopen. So now is really the time where I need to get into some good habits and stop being such a slacker! I need to get down to 55kg so I can fit into the jeans that I love. They have been at the bottom of my wardrobe for way too long!

Poor Lisa




So my cute little kittie decided to play with a bee.. or wasp.. I'm not sure.. But she was sporting a "boxing glove" a couple of days ago. I am glad to report that the paw is now down to normal size and she is bouncing around all crazy again... But doesn't she look cute with that big paw? :o)
