Making Room For The Food

I wonder if I’m the only person thinking about Thanksgiving now that November is here. I’m not even thinking about what I’m going to do or what I’m going to cook. I’m thinking about what I’m going to eat! I’m going on a fast a few days before Thanksgiving because I’m going to make sure I leave enough room to pig out on all of the great food. I know Thanksgiving is about more than just food, but I give thanks every single day so I am very grateful! Don’t let the food talk fool you! ;)

I really hope that I don’t gain too much weight this year. I was planning on going on a diet this month anyway so I guess that would be a great time. I wish I could join a gym but I just don’t have the extra money. Maybe I can save my money and buy myself a treadmill for Christmas. I’ve always wanted one of those small treadmills because they help to burn a lot of calories. Hopefully I’ll be able to get one!

Stop The Pain!

My leg has been hurting so bad for a while now. Actually I think my foot is the source of the pain but it makes my whole right leg hurt as well. I think it’s funny that we never think about how important a certain part of our body is until it no longer functions the way it’s supposed to. On an average day walking and how my feet work never cross my mind. However, since I’ve had this pain it’s all I can think about. Sometimes I wish that I had a magic pain wand that could just zap all of my pain away. That goes for my leg and my migraines.

Another problem that I’ve had over the years is shoulder pain. I’ve dislocated my shoulder a few times and it hasn’t been the same. Whenever it’s cold or rainy out I can feel the pain in my shoulder. I’m happy that at least I’m not one of those people who needed a pain pump since there’s a lot of controversy about those right now. Whenever my shoulder bothers me the pain usually doesn’t last very long so I guess I’m lucky!
