shoes, insoles and socks

This morning I woke up to a surprise. I was so swollen it was ridiculous. I did a lot of exercising yesterday and for that I woke up with a lot of water retention. Swollen enough that my husband came home from work and said WOW what did you do to your face. lol yeah honey thats just what I like to hear first thing in the morning. So I have been drinking more water today to try and flush out the water. I will stick with my weigh in for tomorrow though even if I am still up. I did my #10 workout from EA Sports Active More Workouts this morning but skipped the extra because my ankles hurt like a mutha. I think I need to look for new inserts for my shoes. I have a pretty high arch and my New Balance shoes aren't supporting it very well even though they are new. So I will get the arch support I was using because it works for me. I use the SOF SOLE WOMEN'S ARCH SUPPORT INSOLES, they are pretty good and not too bad for price about 20.00 for the pair. Of course I could have gotten the Mizuno's like I usually get because they work well for people with high arches.
While on the subject of feet. I also have NO  fat in my feet, hmmm weird the only place on my body I could use some fat on but noooo I have to have bony feet. What is up with that? I have to go out and find socks for my skinny feet so that the tongue of the shoe wont hurt the top of my feet. I have found socks for this, they have an extra pad on the top for this. I love these socks but they are a little over priced for socks, so I only own one pair. (sorry if this is sounding like a sales pitch but I want people to know what I am using if they have the same problem) They are Thorlos thick distance walking socks, they are pink and they when I bought them they donate $1.00 for breast cancer research.  Does anyone else have the issue with your shorts giving you a wedgie when you walk. Not all of my shorts do this only my slippery ones and only if I wear thongs but geez.. it is annoying. Cant wear them in public lol.  I have a bad back also and need to get a new back brace other wise doing my workouts is very hard and pretty painful. So on Tuesday I will go to the medical store to find a new one since the old one is horrible and wont stay on anymore. I need one that will go under my clothes. Any suggestions would be helpful..   I havent finished all my walking for the night because the kids are a little hyper. But I will finish tonight.... Dont think my whole blog is about promoting products its not. I just want to help people that have the same problems.  so thats my advice for the night.. Have fun and Be positive
