The healer shook his head, "You stopped working out."

 

QengpuBenal hung her head, "Yeah, I know. I guess my brain decided that since I couldn't run the way I used to there was no point in running at all."

 

Frowning, the healer replied, 'With that attitude, you'll never get back in shape."

 

Nodding in agreement, Queng said, "So, what do you want me to do? Should I go back to walking, or just keep trying to do the running thing?"

 

The healer looked at the results, "I want you to try walking only for the next four weeks. A minimum of two miles a day, but feel free to do more if you think you're up to it. That, along with your new diet, should be helpful."

So take the time and heal - take it from someone who's had injuries.

Love the healer intro   Remember to listen the advice you wrote for yourself.

Hang in there.  " Life is always rocky when your a gem."  I'm not familiar with your injury, and I don't want to pry but,  is there a low impact exercise you could do?  As you probably know, I like cycling.  We also have an elliptical, but I really hate it.  Well regardless, do and or don't do whatever you need to to heal and again, hang in there.

Thanks for the encouragement, everyone!

 

Day One: 8/13/17

 

Man, I finally get used to challenges starting on Sundays instead of Mondays, and now they're starting on Saturdays? Is NF trying to drive people away? So, this challenge (my challenge) will be running 8/13-9/9.

 

Exercise: 2 mile walk in the morning, plus an additional 2 miles when I made a trip to the grocery store

Water: drank 4 bottles (8 glasses) of water - which also resulted in drinking much less soda

Food: ate on track, even though we went out (I had a salad with chicken)

Writing: I worked on editing the 1st draft of my novel

Day Two: 8/14/17 and Day Three: 8/15/17

 

None of my goals were met either of these days. I had an endoscopy on Monday morning, and I spent the next two days recovering.

 

Day Four: 8/16/17

   Walked 2 miles.

   Ate decently.

   Worked on editing my novel.

   Drank 4 bottles of water.

Medical treatment supersedes goals.  Be healed, healthy and whole.
