So this past week I apparently haven't blogged at all. Oops. I remember starting blog posts several times in my head, but then I neer got around to typing them. Essentially, the first few days my extra movement consisted of short bursts of speed to catch trams and speed walking to get TLN to school on time (or to get to the school to pick him up on time). I strolled and stood a lot in my 3 trips downtown - the movement of shopping. Not really stellar performance, I suppose, but starting a new routine comes with bumps along the path.
I have been wearing my alignment socks to bed each night to try to spread out my toes (https://www.my-happyfeet.com/) but I still wake up in the middle of the night with aching feet and pull them off.
I also ordered (and received) a pair of toe correctors (http://www.happy-toes.eu/), which have the same general function as the alignment socks, but are designed to be worn while active (as opposed to the socks which are for resting use). I've been wearing them around the house with bare feet for a few hours at a time.
I also practiced with the baby carrier (and the baby) - I figured out how to get The Little Explorer loaded into it on my back on my own, and carried her around the house to practice. Unlike The Little Ninja, she seems to like being carried like this and I see this as a good movement booster in terms of added weight bearing once the weather gets a bit warmer.
Still focusing on lining up my feet, hips and torso while standing and walking. I've also realised that I hold a lot of tension in my abdomen. I'm trying to relax that whenever I think of it.
