NEVER AGAIN

Well I learned a lesson last night. I have been struggling with getting all my protein in. I thought once I could have mushies and soft food I would be able to get it with cheese, milk, bean and fish. Well Lucy (my tummy) doesn't like fish. I've tried salmon, trout, tuna and last night I tried sardines. NEVER AGAIN. They were kinda dry and sitting in my chest. Normally I would take a drink to wash it down. I took a drink and it washed it up and down the kitchen sink. Not a fun experience. fish is now officially not part of my diet. Lucy has been grumpy all day today. The only thing she didn't complain about was milk. I Think I'll give her a break and have chicken broth for supper and some milk later on. I can tell I'm really low on calories and protein. I am exhausted.

On to better things. I had a great week last week. I bought a pedometer and got at least 10,000 step or 9 km each day. I hadn't realized how little I had been doing. Now my son (Draven) and I walk the dogs in the morning and my husband and I take them for a long walk at night. We went swimming. I used to sit on the sidelines and watch, I forgot how much fun it was to play in the pool with my husband, son and his friends. I also forgot what great exercise it could be. We bought Tennis rackets and played. We suck but it was fun. I enjoyed being out and being active and made my son very happy. Now to keep the pace up. Wish me luck.
