I'm not sure how to follow with Chris other than a general healthier life. My weight issues stem from medication weight gain or loss, so that would not be a huge focus of my posts.. It would be more general than that, but still focusing on taking my life back from unhealthy practices..
Anyway, I'm real lousy at taking care of myself. Even simple things..making sure I take all my meds, at the right time.. I never do that.
I started knitting and crocheting as physical therapy for the small joint arthritis, that comes with lupus. Keeping the joints moving helps decrease the pain, and of course, increases function. A win-win situation...
My healthy project is a lapghan (lupus causes real temperature issues for me)..and coincidentally, that lapghan is designed by Chris.
This week I have been battling the stomach flu going around...I don't feel bad, just tied to the house. So I lived on saltines and soda..not exactly healthy eating..but it's all that the stomach would hold. I've broken out the Lysol wipes and am disinfecting everything!

Oh golly, I hope you feel better soon. I spent the weekend nursing a sinus/cold issue. I could not hear out of one ear, and the congestion continues. Praying you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteUGH - I hope you get to feeling better soon. Heck - being that sick, I'm thankful you were at least able to keep the soda and saltines down. I remember that was my mother's "go to" when I was a kid and I do it with my kids too. Specifically: 7up. *laughs*
ReplyDeleteI am flattered you chose my lapghan pattern as your life-ghan visual. How exciting!
I think that any health related changes are good - not everyone needs to lose weight... we all have our own changes that could make us healthier (taking meds on time, walking, weight loss, general food choices, etc). I think its great you are doing something to incorporate healthier practices. Eating/Being healthier would help with the lupus, yes?
Good for you! I look forward to your progress both with your health and your crochet :)
