What Have You Done Today That Is Healthy

65° this morning, so Dave and I went for a 2 1/2 mile walk. I'm trying to increase my fiber, so I made oatmeal with cinnamon, a 1/2 oz of walnuts and the 4 blackberries I picked on my way back to the driveway. (8g of fiber in total.) The blackberries didn't last and the oatmeal tasted so bland without the drizzle of pure maple syrup I usually have. Then I remembered I have dates, so I cut up one of those to add to the rest of my oatmeal for a little sweetness and another gram of fiber. Not the same as maple syrup, but an improvement.
Had a "friend" join me while I was eating on the deck

This morning was perfect walking weather. There was partial cloud cover, but not threatening rain. Temps in the mid 70s with low humidity. I really wanted to keep walking, but I didn't want to be gone from the house.

I've gotten 7,000 steps the last two days. That's my new target after I read this:

I had a friend when we lived in Hickory. Her doctor suggested that she take a walk every day to help with her depression. Getting out and maybe talking to someone else helped her. She was my chatting over the fence buddy!
I wish I could walk right now. I get about 400 steps and am exhausted and my back starts hurting and I start to struggle to catch my breath - ugh! I think tomorrow I am going to attempt our driveway. It's about 800 steps for one round. If I can make it from my porch, down to the road, then back up to just before the shed and then back to the porch again, that should be 1200 steps. We'll see. I just want to see if being outside and having a long straight stretch makes a difference from all those corners I have to take.

Praying for you, Kim, that you'll be able to do the walking you need and that the straight stretch makes a difference

I'm still maintaining very little added sugar in my diet. Took an evening walk because I didn't make time for one this morning.

I took a short walk today, but at least it was a walk. Bill went to church with me today (the weather was incredible) and believe me that is extra exercise! There's a steep incline to get him into the church and it's everything I can do to get him up that hill, then when we leave I have to pull back on the chair so it doesn't head down that hill on its own....could wind up in a pickle that way! Stayed in my calories, but a bit more sugar than normal.

Oh my, that must be fun with that hill, Connie! I think you must be quite strong!
Wade and I went out today. It was his birthday yesterday and he wanted to go to Sam's Club which is an hour and a half away. We ate at Cracker Barrel and I had the Sirloin Steak cubes with scrambled eggs and a few fried apples, maybe 1/4 of what they gave me, I also have one bite of hash brown casserole. Then we walked around Sam's, although I was pretty tired by the time we got done. I have 2,589 steps so far today so I think walking outside shouldn't be a problem! LOL! I was in quite a bit of pain yesterday, but it was more under control today, and I didn't want to disappoint Wade! I so often have to tell him that I don't feel up to going out - can't do that for something he's been looking forward to - and I praise the Lord that He gave me the strength to do that today! Definitely all Him.
