health

and my arms and hands keep going numb. It is the weirdest thing. My nurse daughter told me I need to go to the emergency room as I may be having a heart attack. I told her I will call the doctor in the morning.

certainly makes a difference, 3 pounds of water weight lost already, my ankles are less swollen at the end of the day, and no more puffy eyes or hands. I feel better.

Cutting out the sugar has made a difference in caloric intake. No sugar also means no donuts, muffins, candy or sweets. (My biggest downfall, I crave, crave, crave, now the cravings are all but gone. When I do crave I will have one square of 70% cocoa dark chocolate.)

No alcohol, well clarity of thought is the first thing that comes to mind. I have slept better other than work worries.As well as less emotional churn.

but did not exercise like I wanted to today. I did stay away from milk, salt, sugar and alcohol.

that they worry about work so much that they don’t get a lot of sleep. I think I am beginning to understand that.

with some concerns about my health these days I am a little hyper sensitive to any change in my body. This could very well be a result of my walking yesterday, I react very quickly to exercise.

giving up a few things for the sake of my health, starting tomorrow.

1. salt
2. sugar
3. alcohol
4. milk (lactose intolerant and continue to eat despite)

cutting down on

1. simple carbs
2. fried food

too much starches, sugars, impulse and emotional eating. Not good, my legs feel swollen, I know this weight puts more of a strain on my heart and can’t help with my blood pressure. And it is not so much my body image that I am worried about here but my health.

Also feeling some small twinges in under my arm that I have not felt before. Could be from all the drinking I did during my vacation or the extra weight I have gained, poor eating and no exercise lately. It is scaring me though. I ma not sure whether I should give it a month, see how I feel with 10 pounds less weight, better diet, more exercise, more water and no alcohol. Or should I get it checked out right away.

I may make an appointment and still incorporate these new habits for my own healths sake.

that planter fasciatis was killing me yesterday. I walked about 16 miles yesterday. It was four miles from the hotel to downtown Washington and then another 4 miles back. I walked at least 6 miles while I was in town if not more. My heels were killing me when I arrived. My legs were swollen as it was close to 90 outside yesterday and the sun full on. I can barely walk my heels are hurting so much. I need new running shoes as these have lost their support. Perhaps while I am shopping tomorrow I will find a good pair.

I am hoping for cooler weather today. It is currently raining out. I am heading to the ball game tonight so let’s hope the rain disappears.

I

about my legs. After my management class, three days of sitting, sitting , sitting, and the long drive home, I developed a pain in my leg which I am worried could be a clot from all the sitting. I have not been exercising like I should. And now a 12 hour drive to Washington seems to have made that pain flare up again.

I really need to stay more active for SOOOOOOO many reasons.

and the long drive made my knee sore as well as my shoulder and elbow. Advil.
