Today was a very interesting day. I got up and got dressed and ready to go. Joy said that I needed to be ready to leave by 10:00 am. I was ready and off we went. We ran errands until about 6:30pm. The biggest challenge for a person my size is to get in and out of the vehicle. Joy has a big Chevrolet Suburban and to get in and out of it can be quite a challenge. First of all I have to grab the handle up in the truck and pull myself up and then I have to hoist my fat body up into the seat and then hoist it over and get centered in the seat and get comfortable. This wouldn’t be too bad if I only had to do it once in and once out; however, I had to do it several times. That’s not to mention the trips after I got out of the truck. Nevertheless, I did it several times throughout the day. Soooooo, when I think that I am not progressing as far as exercise is considered I MUST consider this as exercise. I am walking around quite slowly but I attribute a lot of this to the fact that the bottoms of my feet are killing me. It appears that my left foot got really dried out during the trip out to GA and the bottom of my heel cracked. We are now soaking it in Epsom Salts, cleaning it with Peroxide and then rubbing pure Aloe from the plant on the foot. Joy says that I can take the next two days off of my feet and they should be as good as new.
As far as eating today. . . I had my FrequenSea and that was about it. We did stop by a ladies house to sign her up for FrequenSea and while we were there she cut up a yellow apple and Joy and I shared it. It was quite tasty. Then on the way back to the house we went to the DeKalb Farmers Market and picked up some stuff. We got some organic prunes, prune juice, black cherry juice and a pineapple. I told her that we needed to get home soon because I was getting cranky and wanting to eat everything in sight. As we were out driving around I became aware more and more how much I am moved by what I see. The more fast food places that I saw the more that I wanted to stop there. The more that I realized that I couldn’t go there anymore the crankier I felt myself getting. Not to mention that it was hot outside which didn’t help my temperament any. Nevertheless, I made it without any altercations. When we got back to the house Joy made me a smoothie and I started drinking some water and had my FrequenSea and I survived.
All in all it was a very long and productive day. I think that I finally made it into bed at around 1:30 or 2:00am.
