Monday is going to be declared Weigh In Day. Each and every Monday I am going to publicly declare my weight and how I did with becoming healthy in the previous week. Why? Because if I don't do something, I may not be walking in a few years. And that scares me. A LOT. So, Monday I will weigh in, I will discuss what I have done in the past week - did I manage to exercise, did I eat healthy, the state of my knees and my overall feeling about myself. Some weeks I expect I will do well, other weeks probably not so much. Hopefully, I will manage to stay positive through it.
So, anyway, come back tomorrow for the first new Peyote Ring Pattern in a while. Then join me Monday for Weigh In Day. Remember: You Only Live Once.
I've had arthritic knees for 10 years, getting so bad that I can barely walk the length of my house. I've used a wheelchair/power chair for the last 6 years.
ReplyDeleteFor the last few weeks I've been eating as nearly carb-free as possible, as the doctor warned me about my blood sugar. A totally unexpected side effect, the pain and inflammation are dramatically better. My knees haven't felt this good in years. I don't know if it's specifically wheat-avoidance or all carbs that's helping, but boy is it helping. Try it out for a week or two...low carb is not easy but it's easier than strict calorie counting.
Thank you for sharing! That is at least part of what I will be doing. Going pretty carb free during the day, then moderating what I have with the evening meal.
DeleteI just had cortisone shots in both knees, and that seems to be helping a little, but at this point getting my weight under control is my biggest priority.
