Your thoughts would be a great help to me. |
Not that people don't understand how serious the disease is, but that they have no idea about the disease period. Some (my mother) think I have my foot in the grave, others think I can continue to live my life the way I have been (friends, co-workers) -- meaning eat the way they do, etc. I see both extremes. I like to think that things are in my hands, I get what I put into it. If I am exercising 2 to 3 times a day, I should see results. I am concerned. There is not one day that goes by that I don't think ,"Should I push myself harder".
I have great support, my boss is a good friend of mine, so I take my lunch break and walk down to the pier on the beach, and walk for 45 minutes a day. My mother is non-stop nudge about getting healthy taking Holistic or Acupuncture, or practicing Eastern Philosophy (meditating, etc). When she came out here a few weeks ago, she showed me how to make Vegan soup, and we walked lots. I like to make my own choices, and she is starting to realize that (yeah 44 years old and mom still likes to make decisions for me).
