finally the weather is slowly improving for a change from the cold freeze monster that has dominated our area for so long. took my first walk in the park and it felt amazing. that day walked for half a mile and then called it a day. now i'm doing over a mile and will add two laps each month until it reaches three miles or so.
end of last week graduated from physical therapy since i've been pain free for a while now. take it easy and trying not to over do it. doing other execises as well. did 15 minutes on my elliptical, doing my stretches from physical therapy, free weights, and stuff like squats.
today will go out and get a whitefish sandwich from kingfish. the other day cracked open some pecans from my freezer, peanut butter and jelly, spaghetti, and chicken wings. cut my red meat consumption in half. no more problems with my gout so far.
i try to move often when not exercises anything to burn calories. until next time take care and God Bless.

changes to diet
March 10, 2014
due to major problem with gout and stomach pains, made more changes my diet for the better. in addition to cutting back on certain seafood, i cut my red meat consumption down to every other day. so if i eat hamburger today, tomorrow i'll eat chicken, peanut butter sandwich or seafood that will not affect my gout. to calm my stomach pains and improve my overall health i've cut back on sugar and soft drinks again. i mainly drink water and low calorie low sugar water drink mixes. my vegetable intake is still low, but i do try and include them when i can.
last week i was put under for the first time in my life when i had my colonoscopy. no problem at all were found and so good news there. also since i changed my diet, my blood pressure dropped big time. on the day of the procedure it was like 117/ 85. along way from the high of 143/ 90.
my phyisical therapy is almost complete. last week i had pain in my left butt cheek but now i am painfree all over. yesterday my wife and i did two workouts on the same day, a new first. keep is simple and short. each workout lasted about 15 minutes each and i walked at the park for the first one at a slow pace and 2nd workout was 15 minutes on my elliptical. my wife noticed i was pouring sweat from the 2nd workout.
so i slowly coming back with a new and improved body. so until next time, take care and
God bless.
