Day 19 B

End of day - strange temptation. My son baked some fruit type pastries and...I wanted to eat them.

Not to worry - today the mind is strong. My doctor thinks I am on the mend and I think I over did the workout. So fat these are the physical problems.

Left calf will cramp or tear as I approach around 500 jumps (sets of 100 or 150) I can feel it tighten. I stretch between jump rope sets, sometimes go with right foot only. I am going to make it.

Right hand, elbow. and shoulder. These are getting better - but most nights if there is time I ice and heat my shoulder and back. I think my body is trying to get rid of something and I hope it gets on with it. I am trying to visualize what I am becoming...see the future...use my imagination to imagine something great.

Tomorrow is a yard day - I need to find a way to stay active and engaged. To have a balanced life and stay in this program - I am better of being in the day, and not looking at the future too much.

I am hoping to feel better tomorrow.

I discovered that half of a pear is just about a fruit serving - good thing I have some experience throwing away food.

  1. You could always save the other half of the pear for later, right?

    It's important to keep going now, as you get stronger your body will be able to compensate and repair weak areas, and everything will iron itself out!

  2. half pear make you strong. I have found a plum is usually a whole serving. Keep your eyes on the prize, my dear Watson!

  3. Yeah, that half of a pear gets me through the day sometimes. So delicious, and so limited.
