Yes, that's right! I went for a walk. For 1.3 miles or so. For an HOUR. In the RAIN! I am quite impressed with myself right now! I would usually have used the rain as an excuse not to walk, but I had made up my mind that I was going to walk today, since it's 62 degrees out, and a little rain was NOT going to stop me!! It will be interesting to see what the scale shows tomorrow. I've been doing really well on calories, getting some exercise, taking my supplements, drinking my water. One would THINK I should lose some significant poundage. But of course, one might be wrong--I've gained before when it didn't make any sense! We'll see tomorrow though.
PT was good today. I was with my old pal Charlie. I think he overdid it a bit, so we will back off a bit next time. (I checked with the doctor and he doesn't want me doing any active stuff yet, only passive.) I ran into the OT guy who does lymphatic drainage (actually there are 5 of them there who do it!) and he said they are all trained the same way as the girl at Canyon Ranch! So I am asking Dr. Rossi for a referral for lymphatic drainage. I can't imagine that she won't agree--it can only help me.
An interesting thing I noted on my walk today (and other days) is that my hips really do bother me when I walk any distance. I think I will have to get back to the Neuromuscular therapy and have her work on my hips. Gotta loosen them up!
I readjusted my food plan a little. I was starting to have a hard time getting in my evening snack. Not only not hungry, but still full from dinner,and then when I add in the amino acid drink and the supplements--NO WAY!! So I switched the turkey and mango snack to the morning, kept the apple and nuts in the afternoon, and then the evening, IF I want a snack, will be the granola. If I don't have it, no biggie. I am also limiting myself to 3 ounces of protein at dinner. last night I had 4.5 and it was fine--until time for my snack. I ended up eating 2 dried apricots instead, and even that was too much.I also decided to move my huge Omega 3 pills to lunchtime. It doesn't matter when I take them, and at night they are too much. So this should help. Now if I have 1/2 my night pills and my amino acid drink with dinner, that only leaves a few supplements for bedtime, and that should be ok.
If I get any more supplements, I am going to need a new stomach to put them in!! Tonite Mom is here, and we have no kids, so we are having salmon. With a baked potato and green beans, that should be fine. Plus we will eat at 6, so by the time I have my snack at 9, it will be 3 hours.
Off to start cooking!!
