Small rant, success, and NSV

I'll start first with my little rant. Today I took off of work early so that I would have time to get a walk in before the Sox game tonight. It was 99 degrees today, humid as hell. So I'm walking by the beach and towards the end of my walk I start to get a bit dizzy. I've had at least 10 cups of water at this point so I figure I'm just over heating a bit, why don't I just take a little dip in the ocean?
Worst. Idea. Ever. The sand was so hot, I literally burned the bottoms of my feet walking to the water. I realized about halfway that it was really really hurting, but was slightly close to the water at that point. I should have just turned around then because after I reached the water... I still had to walk back.
So I ended up with burned feet, literally I have about 13 blisters on the bottoms of my feet. Very painful.
But... I would not let this stop me from going to the game. This might make me a bit crazy... but that's OK The success is that I brought my 80 cal tuna cup with me, and did not eat anything sold at the park. I bough****er, and that was it. It was tough, I was super tempted but did not give in.
Which leaves me with my NSV. I actually fit in the seat without bruising the sides of my thighs. It may not seem like much, but it's a huge deal to me!!
To anyone that's still reading, thank you for your support!

Elise, so sorry about the blisters on your feet. I hope you recover soon from that. I know what you mean about the seats & not total bruising your outer thighs. It will only get better from here on out. You are doing so well gurl, luv ya!

Aww thank you so much girl!
I definitely need to take care of these blisters ASAP. The heels of my feet are pretty sore now; they are the only part of my feet without blisters so I did a lot of standing and walking just on my heels tonight, LOL! I know I must have looked hilarious
My bro in law is also in town and we have a huge day planned tomorrow with tons and tons of walking. I'm excited but I just hope these blisters don't pop, they are painful enough already! LOL
How you doing, Jenn?

 Hey gurl, I am doing fine.  It's 6:30am right now in CA.  I'm getting ready to meet up with acbbrown for our weekly morning hike.  After that, I have a baby shower to go to.  Take care of yourself gurl.

Actually I would think they would feel better drained, google how to treat so you don't get infected

I've done that before when I had blisters from walking, but my doc said for blisters from burns not to try and drain them. Oh well
