Well Wednesday was another very warm day with temps in the low 80's but the humidity was back with a vengeance. It was sweat time when you did any physical work outside and since I didn't go to pickle ball due to the achilles issue I mowed the yards and then moved some bib lettuce seedlings up into 6 packs before I set them out into the garden. I was drenched in sweat, oh well I'm looking forward to some cooler less humid days but we still have 6 months to go before heading to the mountains.
I started the day much the usual with a 6'ish roll out to my cup of hot green tea laced with turmeric and fresh ginger root while I posted this ramble then lifted up several by name to my Creator for comfort and healing if it's His will. Most everyone I mention by name are doing as well as can be expected regarding their health issues. Some we know are hurting due to the loss of close family members who were killed in a tragic accident on Christmas Eve which has just devastated the family. We must all keep our POTUS Trump in your prayers as he tries his best to right this ship called America from the hordes of libs who are trying their best to destroy him and his agenda to make America great again and restore our love of GOD, family and country.
I decided since the leg was feeling better after the dip in the cold pool water on Tuesday to take the day off and not do any running, twisting and sudden stops and take off's which occur in pickle ball. I noticed the ankle area did have some swelling but basically the leg pain was gone so I iced the area and then rested most of the afternoon reading a book by Stephen King who I usually do not read but found this book intriguing to say the least. It's titled The Outsider and I must say its a page turner. Nancy took off to Sam's to exchange a calendar which she did not like and pick up a few goodies.
I grilled marinated chicken breast along with fresh asparagus for our supper. She gave Betsy the leftover chocolate cake when she stopped by and I went the whole day with out any sugar or desserts and no carbs. We both decided to limit our carbs and sugar intake as we had a fresh garden salad which I now have plenty to share as well as eat daily so we had one for our lunch. We even stayed away from the crackers. We are hoping to lose a few pounds and after this past holiday delights of cookies, cakes and carbs its no wonder I'm 10 pounds over my 180 goal which I did achieve last year before we headed to the cabin. Even there we always had desserts when we entertained so I'm cutting them out until I reach my goal again, LATER
