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.
