Exercised on my ankle today. It survived but is sore now. I currently have it elevated and iced.
A funny thing is happening now that I am getting back to shape. Food I used to love (and crave) no longer appeal to me. A raspberry danish was as close to nirvana as I could get. We had one in the house for my parents and honestly, I didn’t want any. I walk past the little refrigerator at work full of Coca-Colas and I don’t want any of them either. It’s all about choices. And I’m trying to make some better choices. We went out to eat Saturday and I ate a low-fat, low-calorie chicken dish. It was filling and delicious. Will I occasionally eat something I probably shouldn’t? Yes. But I’ll eat it in moderation (if at all). The thought of a Coke right now makes my pancreas scream for mercy. Too much sugar.
It’s about energy. I need to make sure I eat complex carbohydrates and protein. Not white sugar that will give me a rush and then crash me.
Now to go find an apple instead of a danish. It’s time to go make a good choice.
Wow, you got over the pop craving quick! That one took me a while. I would have visions of Coke and Pepsi in my dreams and wake up craving one!
I’m in about the same shape as you and losing weight by making better choices. I need to exercise more but that will come. I thank you for your messages as they are sure helping me avoid that Friday fish plate! I was 254 and now 230 at 6′ 2″. I need to buy some new pants soon! Thanks again Marshall…
That’s great !! I need to quit the Dt Dr Pepper’s but I need (so I think) the caffeine?
