Day 2 So far so good

Day one went very well. Today is day two, my low back is hurting pretty badly. It has been bothering me since just before Christmas. I am hoping that the new lifestyle changes I'm making will help improve this issue. Today we stayed home and watched GYC on 3ABN. It was a blessing. I enjoy hearing Mark Finley speak. The topic today was regarding Daniel and how he didn't compromise his faith when he was younger and it stuck with him when he was old. Temperance keeps our minds clear so we can think clearly.

I stepped on the scale this morning and have lost 2.6 pounds since yesterday. I am sure it's water weight. I am happy with it just the same. The swelling that I have had in my lower legs has been pretty scary. I know that means something wasn't working right, be it the heart, kidneys, etc. My ankles are mildly swollen today. Much better than they have been in the last week. Today so far I have had a smoothie of banana, pineapple, orange, and almond milk for breakfast, and for lunch I ate some leftover mushrooms along with leftovers from last night, and a salad made with lettuce, black olives, green onions, a few tomatoes and celery with spices and a dash of balsamic vinegar. It was surprisingly good.

My DS is going to stay over with a school mate tonight and then will be returning to school tomorrow. He won't be back home again until April. This makes me a little sad, but I will be travelling out to see him at school for a few events in the coming months so I will still get to see him. This year is going so fast. He will be graduating and then off to college.

We are going bowling tonight with an old coworker of mine. I'm sure it will be a blast. I just hope my back will let me bowl too. Until tomorrow ttfn.
