So instead of being bummed about not having control over my knee issues, I asked my son to plug up my Wii. I figured out where the games were and spent about an hour and half total on bowling, tennis, golf, and baseball. I had a blast and took each game in 10 min intervals then took a small break when I felt the need. Tennis was the best as I played best of five games each time. It really works up a sweat and my arms were sore after (especially the baseball).
I treated myself to dinner with Asian takeout. I selected the curried chicken stir-fry for its high vegetable content, ate only 1/2 of the rice and contained my desire to eat more than one egg roll. Good thing that my dish was spicy. It filled me up and I had so much water behind it that I felt satisfied. I did include three pieces of General Tso chicken (my son was sharing) but even that didn't push me over the edge to eat more.
I've started including Miracle Reds and Micro Greens to my meals. This is a powder product that you mix with water. It is a dietary supplement of fruits and veggies and it is has at least five servings of each food group. Makes me excited to know that there is a product that can give me all the vitamins I need.
I purchased the Cous Cous, Quinoa, and some barley. I will be cooking with them shortly and can't wait to see how they add some texture to my meals. The nutritional value alone is astounding and makes me excited to know that my health is getting better with each meal that I cook.
After dinner tonight, my plan is to stretch before I play Wii games and stay on it for a solid hour and then walk the dogs around the block. My energy level isn't up to the speed that it was last week. I am feeling less sluggish, but not nearly as energetic. All in due time!!
