No shooting pain like there was last week. There's still a spot that was aching yesterday, which is why today is an off day. Slowly but surely getting better.

Full name is White House/Black Market. When it started out, the only clothing colors it stocked was either white or black. Now they add an accent color each season (they seem to have about six seasons). I'd compare them to Wallis on your side of the pond, or even more likely, Oasis.
Glad to hear you're on the mend!
@epcotisbest, since you asked for photos--I didn't get to snap the teriyaki beef with pineapple rice, but here are my shrimp dishes. I've included the recipes in case you're interested.
Garlic-Ginger Shrimp. If anyone is interested in a wine pairing, an New Zealand sauvignon blanc goes nicely.

Makes 4 servings.
Warm 2 tbsp. vegetable oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tbsp. grated or minced peeled ginger and 3 garlic cloves, minced, and cook, stirring occasionally, 1 minute. Add 1 pound frozen medium shrimp (thawed, peeled, and deveined) and 1/4 cup rice wine or dry white wine to the pan, and raise the heat to medium-high. Cook 3 minutes more or until the shrimp turn pink on both sides and are opaque. Add 1/2 cup chopped scallions to pan, and toss well to combine. Divide 2 cups hot cooked brown rice and shrimp mixture evenly among 4 serving bowls.
I'll even give you the Nutritional Info!
Calories 311, Fat 10g, Cholesterol 172mg, Protein 26g, Carbohydrate 27g, Sugars 1g, Fiber 2g, Sodium 172 mg.
I was able to provide that info because I got the recipe from Health magazine.
You may notice that the recipe doesn't call for snow peas, but you see them in the photo. I had them on hand and threw them in. More veggies! Healthy! Woo!

Makes 4 servings
1 lb large shrimp, shelled & deveined
1 1/2 tbsp minced garlic
1 tbsp Creole seasoning
1 red bell pepper, finely chopped
2 tbsp vegetable oil
Juice of 2 lemons
1/4 c chopped parsley
1. In a bowl, toss the shrimp with the garlic, Creole seasoning and bell pepper
2. In a skillet, sauté the shrimp mixture in the oil over moderately high heat, turning the shrimp once, until just white throughout. Add the lemon juice and parsley and serve.
Wine pairing: Pinot Grigio.
I served mine over brown rice. Pasta would also be a good choice. Sharp-eyed observers will notice that I used an orange bell pepper instead of a red one, because that's what I had on hand. Red pepper would definitely make for a prettier dish.

I have a spot on my front lawn where a tree was removed and we had the stump ground down. Despite every attempt to fill it in, it continues to sink. Whenever I accidentally step in it, it jars my whole system and gives me a shooting pain in my lower back. Walking on grass is not only challenging but potentially dangerous!
I also realized that I bought my shoes over a year and a half ago, and they've been with me on three WDW trips, a Disneyland trip, and a Hawaii trip, plus for my walks. So they need replacing. I can be really bad about stuff like this. New pair ordered, will be here on Friday. Tomorrow is an off day (still not ready to resume strength training) so that's only one more workout with the old ones.
I'm awful about replacing shoes, and it's so important.

I once took my walk in flip flops because I forgot my sneakers...on grass. Probably wasn't one of my finer moments.I have a spot on my front lawn where a tree was removed and we had the stump ground down. Despite every attempt to fill it in, it continues to sink.

I have no idea why I'm so bad about replacing shoes. I think I find a pair I like, and then think, "Oh, these are wonderful. I must never, ever replace them" and then I don't think about getting new ones, and even when I'm getting new ones, I still think to myself, "Do I actually need these?" Vicious cycle.

I didn't even know that you should replace perfectly good, comfortable shoes. I have some that I have had 10 years or more. I don't wear them all the time and a pair of walking shoes usually last me about two years before they start to fall apart, but, that is what has to happen before I will replace them. Even then I keep them for odd jobs the would require them getting muddy or nasty. So I have three basic pairs of shoes. My good leather ones (hardly ever use them) one pair of new or fairly new sneakers, one pair of sneakers that I use for golfing, one pair of VANS that I didn't really like much, so I hardly ever wear them and the pair of sneakers that I replaced with the new ones. That's it! I only have two feet so, an abundance of shoes seem like a waste of money to me. However, I do see a good reason to have a set usage or a spare.I once took my walk in flip flops because I forgot my sneakers...on grass. Probably wasn't one of my finer moments.

A couple of the young ladies in my office are trying to take up the habit of walking at lunchtime. We are adjacent to a college campus that I hear has walking trails. One of the girls came back from a lunchtime walk complaining that her ankles hurt. She proceeded to miss 2 days of work because of a sprained ankle.
You guessed it, she went trail walking in flip-flops.
The only flip flops I'll do any walking in our my crocs ones, they work for me and as long as I'm on pavement or a sidewalk I'm fine. I wouldn't wear them out on a trail. I'm crazy not stupid(most of the timeA couple of the young ladies in my office are trying to take up the habit of walking at lunchtime.

I don't throw them away. I keep them for the yard. But when I walk probably over a mile twice a week, plus spend a whole lotta time at WDW, they break down quickly. It's not even really that it's visible, just that my feet hurt more than they would with a newer pair.
My dad had a pair of sneakers for 10 years, though, so you don't entirely surprise me.
I buy Reebok trail runners for my more serious walking and they last about 6 months before breaking down, which is longer than any other pair of sneakers. At that point they become yard shoes. My dh can get at least 2 years if not longer out of his. so unfair, or i do more walking

I alternate between sneakers and flip flops while in WDW. I'll wear sneakers two days in a row, and then flip flops two days in a row, and back and forth. The benefit is I just about never get blisters anymore.The only flip flops I'll do any walking in our my crocs ones, they work for me and as long as I'm on pavement or a sidewalk I'm fine.

The day I took my walk in flip flops at school I at least stayed on the pavement more than usual. So I wasn't that stupid. Just mildly stupid.

Hello-
I am in with an arms and abs circuit. I have been using the Kayla Itsines app. It is called Bikini Body Transformation and I feel a bit silly admitting that, but it's challenging and i am enjoying it for now. I am on week three. I am going on a cruise in about a week and half and I am trying to tell myself I will keep up with the program.
My foot feels better. That was the weirdest thing--the intense itching, then the heel pain. It happened just about the same time last year. I am pleased it seems better.

Speaking of flip flops, does anyone else remember when they were called "thongs?" When I was kid, that's what they were called. Maybe this is a Midwestern thing.

No they were called "thongs" in New England as well. Flip Flops came more from the noise they made and it caught on.Speaking of flip flops, does anyone else remember when they were called "thongs?" When I was kid, that's what they were called. Maybe this is a Midwestern thing.

Good. I thought maybe I was making that up. I once told my husband that flip flops were called thongs when I was kid and he looked at me like a third eye emerged from my head.

Of course, we also have to keep in mind that back then what is referred to as a thong now (butt floss) didn't exist, so it isn't likely that we will ever be able to use the term "thong" again without having everyones imagination go to the wrong place.

I think they did exist then, but I think they weren't mainstream yet. I think they were only worn by women in certain "professions."
This is such a crazy conversation!

For running or fitness walking, it's recommended that shoes be replaced every 300 miles. For either activity, support is important. We all have a system for scaling back out shoes, I'm certain. Like you, my dad has 3 pairs. Myself, I have my current good pair, my previous good pair which I use for home workouts until they give out and then they become yard shoes.
However, being a professional female, those are supplemented by several dozen pairs of pumps, flats, sandals, boots, etc etc etc

Same here. I have a pair of crocs huaraches that I wear often, especially to WDW where I switch off with sneakers.

Glad your foot is feeling better. I'm trying to keep up with workouts so I can do my usual laps around Deck 4 plus an early am class at the gym onboard. Today my only workout was climbing the four flights to my office.
Maybe we can catch a gym class or two together on our cruise.
. Coupled with our hoped-for dance party in Evolution, that should keep us fit. . So looking forward to our cruise!!
