I fell off the wagon (again), but I am back on. I started with Carrie on June 1 so it has been 10 days. So far I am doing OK… not fantastic, but OK. The one day I ate too many blueberries, I got back on track the next day.
Ramona is encouraging me to exercise. I need to, I know. Even in a chair you can do upper body exercises and I could do thigh lifts, just not much to do with my knees… though I guess a daily plan for moving my knees would be a good thing. I can’t straighten my left knee any more and I know if I had kept moving it, even without weight bearing, I would probably still have full range of motion.
One of the things I have run across in youtube videos is the claim that you can actually turn arthritis around with your diet. The main thing is no sugar or any empty carbs which I am doing. I keep thinking I should start taking the Shaklee joint support pills again. They have helped me in the past so I know they would do me good. There are a lot of supplements I should be taking and hope to do so soon. It’s going to take determination and right now I am concentrating on staying on my eating plan.
