Grandpa is doing much better today, thank goodness! Yesterday, I managed to eat properly (except for a late meal but it was only 250 calories). I cooked a big meal and portioned it out so that we have prepared, healthy food for a few days. I did rest yesterday and did about 4000 steps (not much) and my legs today were much better for it. Today I really enjoyed walking. My dog is normally nervous about rain but with my giant umbrella we did a 1 mile walk in the rain. He did just fine. I think it is because we took him into the pool when we went on vacation.
After that, I walked over to my friend's house (about 1 mile away) for a tea party. That was fun! Didn't over do it and green tea doesn't really add calories. Then, after that, another 1 mile walk (and a bit more) with my dog. I did get very sleepy this afternoon and did some research. I am probably overdoing it and not giving my muscles enough food. I read that I should eat a banana or something with peanut butter prior to my walks to try avoiding getting sleepy after a workout. Also, drink more water. Will give it a shot, I normally eat after my morning walk.

So, today was a very positive day all around. Hope to keep it up.

Hi! Glad things are looking up for you - just a tip about the eating before you walk thing a friend who does a lot of exercise told me you should always eat something before you go out for the walk, even if its just a banana or even a low cal cereal bar. This kick starts your metabolism and you will start burning calories whilst your walking otherwise your doing all your walking on an empty tummy for nothing!

I read that working out before eating in the morning kicks starts your metabolism and starts breaking down fat earlier but also read that if you are doing exercise that really testing your muscles, to eat first. So much literature out there :)
