HERE I SIT WITH THE FAN BLOWING ON ME. Red eyed and sweating. As I walked today the sweat from my brow was running down into my eyes making them burn. By the time I got HOME, my eyes were blood shot looking and my face was a bright reddish tint. I looked like I needed to cool off.
I didn't make the walk when the temps were in the low 70s. It was about 75 and I thought I would do alright. By the time I made it HOME, it was 82 degrees. 80 is too hot for me even when I go shopping. I truly wanted to walk today, so off I went.
I made my first mile by walking to the Dollar Store and then walked over to the Football Field to stand under the bleachers. At least I'd be in the shade for a little while.
Cooled off a tad and then walked over to the High School where they have a bench area under some shade trees and I SAT for about 10 minutes. This saved me. HOME was next. By the time I got inside I was beyond HOT and ready to sit. Hubby was sweet and brought me a glass of ICE WATER.
Here I sit cooling off. RESTING.
LUNCH would be a meatless chili. I weighed myself this morning and thought that I should return to the Daniel Diet meaning no meat, no grains and no dairy. Of course no sweets. I'm trying. If I can lose 10 more pounds, I will be lighter than I was a year ago for THAT SPECIAL PHYSICAL. Medicare, etc.
PLANS FOR THE WEEK. Hubby has an out of town medical appointment. I will need to do some grocery shopping. Paperwork worked on at HOME. This is the week for this. Work some in the front bedroom. Laundry of course. Typical cleaning and exercise. Eat as clean as I can. Healthy. Water the plants and stay inside as best I can. Blessed week.
I'm two weeks out from my 70th Birthday. It's marked on my calendar. As I look at it on the calendar, I still can't wrap my head around this. 70 is screaming at me and I CANNOT HEAR IT. Still, what am I going to do different as a 70 year old?
