I totally told my kids they could have cupcakes for dinner last night.  It has all the food groups, right?  Okay, okay, I made them eats some healthy stuff as well&#8230;it was breakfast for dinner for them with ham, eggs and toast with milk and cupcakes for desert&#8230;  My daughter did make them from scratch so that&#8217;s slightly better.<\/p>\n<p>I had asparagus and a NS lasagna (who on earth puts beans in lasagna?!?).  It really wasn&#8217;t bad.  I must say that the quality and taste of the NS foods has vastly improved since 2007.  There has really been only one thing I didn&#8217;t care for and I think that if I had cooked it in my little lunch crock with some veggies, it would have been much better.  Over all, I can see myself making it for this two months with no problem.  The breakfasts do make me a little jittery.  I&#8217;m not sure what about them does that.<\/p>\n<p>I actually love the shakes.  There are a lot of complaints about them on the support forums, but I find them tasty and satisfying.  I think the trick is cold water and once this Fast 5 is over, I think I may be able to even use milk.  <\/p>\n<p>I am still very stoked about my bicycle.  I wish I had someone to ride with.  I am determined to get up my little hill and I think I will practice again tonight.  I did not make it to the gym yesterday and I don&#8217;t think I will today either.  BUT, Couch to 5K was a tad easier yesterday and I will do it today no matter what.  It is so much better having an accountability partner.  Tonight is golf and I may start the p90x3, we&#8217;ll see.  <\/p>\n<p>Exhaustion is still getting me down, but I am hopeful that once I increase my calorie intake that will subside a bit.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve been following this, you&#8217;ll know I have been struggling with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.webmd.com\/a-to-z-guides\/plantar-fasciitis-topic-overview\" target=\"_blank\">Plantar Fasciitis<\/a>.  My chiropractor and massage therapist have been giving me tips to treat it without medical intervention.  So today&#8217;s helpful hints relate to this.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>If you&#8217;re suffering from Plantar Fasciitis get a golf ball and roll your foot around on it.  Follow this up by rolling your foot around on a Gatorade or otherwise similarly bumpy bottle frozen with water inside.  Apparently, this will really help.  I&#8217;ve also got an appointment to get fitted for custom inserts for my running shoes.  Please pray for me that this cures it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>For more tips, check out <a href=\"http:\/\/running.competitor.com\/2013\/03\/injury-prevention\/five-do-it-yourself-remedies-for-plantar-fasciitis_50264\" target=\"_blank\">Five Do-It-Yourself Remedies For Plantar Fasciitis<\/a>.
