Harriet, I have always envied people who feel better when they exercise. I have always felt worse! It never energizes me like people say it does for them. Oh, except for bike riding. That is easier, and seems to renew my spirit.
And it's cooler here now and so so pleasant to peddle around the neighborhood. Tonight when I was checking the car, I rode around our regular bike route to check the mileage, and we are riding 2.7 miles. Sometimes we go a bit farther, but we always do at least this.
(blessed) diets are a struggle, aren't they? I always have problems, never feeling content with less.
Nancy, you are a great example at how you keep at your diet and routines. I'm sure your Dr. must be pleased with you.
here comes a rant, sorry..
Right now I'm feeling like I've been beat up. About 3 days ago I fell asleep reading in the front room (unusual for me to be there) and I got up and stumbled off to bed. But first I tripped over a footstool and fell SPLAT on the hard tile floor. My arms took a hit and I am happy I did not hit my elbo. My left arm is so sore it hurts when I lay it on the mattress at night. It is all shades of green and purple.
Other parts of my elbos are still skinned open from falling off my bike last week. My thumb is still stiff and a lot of skin peeled off. My back is sore from helping DH tonight. rant over.
