Today was my second session at physical therapy. The first session seemed easy yet I was really sore the day after, which was yesterday. This morning. was tough. We added another exercise. I was worn out when left. I never thought that working such small muscles and doing such minimal movements could make you so tire. I am again worn out.
At the same time I am trying to eat right. It is not the raw food diet but I have eliminated most of the junk food I normally consume. As far as meats I have only eaten Chicken and Fish this week. I think one day I had meat loaf. It was one of those frozen Healthy Choice meals. I have lost about 4 pounds. I ate a lot of salad last week and, plenty of other vegetables.
I somehow miscalculated my budget so I am out of money. I am not sure how well I will be eating this week and the rest of the month. In fact I am challenged financially until the end of the month. I trust God however to help me. He always does. I am not worried.
til next time…
My new Nu Wave Oven
Yesterday I went grocery shopping for the first time since my back surgery. Before that folks who care a great deal about me were bringing food by. While shopping I did not try to stock up on raw fruits and veggies for the raw food diet. Right now I have decided to restrict how much meat I consume and what types. Mostly I will be eating chicken and fish. If I can find it perhaps some lamb as well.
I also picked up some low fat yogurt. For breakfast I have decided to got with hot cereals such as oatmeal and cream of wheat. I really like my green salads with just a bit of olive oil and a spritz of vinegar.
I picked up a Nu Wave oven yesterday. There was another over similar to the Nu Wave about 5-6 years ago which I bought. It works great when cooking fish and chicken and even roasting vegetables. It is as quick and easy as the commercials say and, you don’t have to thaw anything out. The key is that it is quick. I can swing by the store on a daily basis for fresh vegies, mostly green ones. Slightly roasting veggies is not as good as eating them raw, but, it is better than not eating any at all. Most meals can be prepared in less than 30 minutes.
My back is feeling better every day. So I’d like to help things along by eating more healthy in order to drop a few pounds. I started physical therapy this week and I cant wait for the day I can ride a bicycle. This will be good for toning and weight loss. I sort have feel like I have a new lease on my body, an opportunity to get back in shape. I was able to stay in shape until my back got to the point that I could no longer exercise effectively or as often.
I will log my progress as much as possible.
