Worked out for the first time in two weeks today. Reason being, this mystery foot problem I seem to have started back up a few weeks ago (a couple of days after my last workout) and even though it wasn't bad enough to keep me in bed for a week I limped everywhere in pain for the past two weeks.

I feel like I'm walking on eggshells right now because it can occur without any symptom or stress. I can be feeling like a million bucks, walking strong and feeling good, then go to bed and after waking up get up and have this pain along the side or top of my foot, and it intensifies throughout the week. On my bad cycles it seems to get so bad that I absolutely can not stand on it or nothing. I become bedridden and restricted to using a walker to get myself to the bathroom.

I've seen two foot specialists and neither of them know what's wrong with me. I can't keep going to the doctor when this happens because it's costing me too much money, so that's why I say I'm walking on eggshells. It has me real concerned for working out in case it some how is some type of stress/weight related injury. But it'll go away just as mysteriously as it appears.

I'll go to bed with the pain, and then the next day it's gone, and I'll be back to walking on it one hundred percent pain free! It's the weirdest thing, and it happens randomly on either foot. Thankfully it hasn't happened on both at the same time.

It feels like I've broken something, but I haven't. And the pain moves around from the top to the side, to the ankles, to the ball of my foot to the toes, it just moves around, so it never stays in one place, and it seems like I'll go a month or so with no pain and then it'll show up unexpectedly for 4 or 5 days, and on the bad cycles (as I call them) it'll be so bad to put me in bed for nearly a week.

Anyhow so my workouts have suffered because of this. I'm glad I got an hour in today but it's only been a couple of days since my last cycle of pain disappeared. sigh... depressed, my entire month of september was blown with absolutely no weight lost. I can't seem to really break this 360 pound mark. I keep dropping down to 358 and then it'll come back to 360-363 and alternate. It's been very discouraging this past month.

Anyhow, I'm still here, still working on it, it's just slow moving right now. 97 lbs lost since my highest weight, and I know that's an accomplishment, but I'm not happy, or satisfied with that. I need more! I have about another 100 lbs to lose before I feel accomplished.
