Pain in the foot and boot driving me crazy!

So from running a lousy 4 miles gave me a pain on the top of the foot. Ortho guy said no broken bones or stressed fracture but big time pain. Finally went to the podiatrist with xrays and MRI done - it was bone poking at a nerve causing the pain. So wearing this stupid boot for 3 weeks - I guess it is a way to not put impact and pain to subside and also inflammation to die down. What I don't get is that the bone spurs don't go away, so then what? I really don't want surgery - but I need to keep positive when I go back Monday. I would definitely seek a 2nd opinion if surgery is needed.

Meanwhile I went to an accupuncturist to see if she can help me with issues. I truly believe that the body when out of balance, something needs to be done. So I am seeking her help with my sleep problems, the pain in the foot and my allergies. I've only started seeing her this week. Even though it is too early to tell, I feel better, the foot pain is better and my sleep, amazingly, not cured but feel my sleep is more rested. So we shall see.

Meanwhile it has indeed been a long time since I cooked anything gourmet. So last night, I made stuffed lobster tails. I call it gourmet since the preparation time is more involved. Here is how i did the stuffing:

- cube the lobster tail meat
- cook diced onions, rosemary, garlic, parsley, white pepper,oregano, basil, with coconut oil
- Add marsala, nutritional yeast, coconut milk, gluten free bread breaked into cubes

Stuffed the tails and at 450 bake the tails-

Most stuffing uses cream, breadcrumbs and cheese in which I cannot have so I did some modification. I made it slightly spicy.

My trainer loves my cooking and I love the challenge. I try real hard to come up with ways to cook with not a lot of oil, salt, fat - and coconut oil is good fat so I think I am OK

This week, my training I felt sluggish and tired and I am thinking the boot is making my body so misaligned and hurt

Next week is the start of the 30 day Challenge at Arrichion Hot Yoga- time to get the game face on. Hot yoga is good for me I need to remember that.

I made a couple of goals for myself - to do a pull up without the bands, to do a rope climb, to do a snatch

That's it for now!

Enjoy!

BTW if you want me to come up with a recipe for you, let me know- A friend told me that I am not a cook but a chef. A cook is someone who follows instructions to recipes and a chef creates. I like that
