I was feeling a little better this morning. It still hurt to walk some, mostly the breathing., but I always feel more invigorated after the walk. I am looking forward to pushing the speed up and doing some weight lifting, but that is all going to have to wait for a time. I even felt better at work. At lunch I got full before finishing my salad, that's a first. After work I ran some errands I haven't felt up to doing the past several days. I even felt good when I got home, but then all of a sudden, I don't know what I did, but all of a sudden the pain is very intense. All I want to do is lay on the couch a watch TV and that is so not me. I was tempted for a small moment to have a pizza tonight. That is on my no no list right now, but that is what I was thinking of, comfort food I guess. But it meant walking out to the freezer, lifting the heavy lid and then bending over at the oven. That was a great deterrent. Much easier to pull a leftover from the inside freezer, no bending.
Walked 34 minutes today. I need to understand all the stuff the GPS watch puts outs. None of it makes any sense to me. I have always let Dennis and the kids worry about that kind of stuff. You know, why put more into the brain that it really needs to know. So know I want to know and it doesn't make any sense to me.

Helpful Hints that I found work for me
1- I try to make 50% of the food I eat each day raw fruits and vegetables. Most of this comes in the green smoothies and lettuce salads.
2- Eat only foods made with whole grains. Stay away from processed foods like white flour and white sugar.
3- Do not drink anything with your meals. Try not to drink at least 15 minutes before either. The body seems to absorb and use the food better without being diluted with liquid. I even take my pills with food now instead of liquid.
4- Exercise, exercise, exercise. Do something that gets your heart rate up. Doing it with someone else makes it more enjoyable and encourages you to keep at it.
5- Get out in the sunshine. Take a walk, rake some leaves, read a book, just do something. It is amazing how much better you feel after 30 minutes in the sun and fresh air.
6- Drink plenty of water. A good general rule is 1/2 your body weight in ounces. If you weigh 120 pounds, you should drink 60 oz of water.
