Seems like forever since I have been able to update here. On Thursday, the 14th, I felt worse than I have in a long, long time. My joints went into full flare mode. I'm not sure if it was something I ate or what. My weight didn't climb a lot, I was at 207.7 Thursday morning but my feet joints were hot to touch. It sure made work hard, and packing even harder. But Friday was the start of our three day weekend family reunion and I needed to get things together Thursday night. It was rough. I can't say what I ate but I know it was ok.
Unfortunately, in spite of eating right and drinking a lot, I woke up Friday morning at 207.9. At least some of the burning was gone. I pushed through the pain and managed to get us packed and loaded and on the road by noon. The weekend was nice, the weather was great. The hotel bed did a number on my back so by Saturday morning, the joint pain was back and shoulder pain but since we had rented a suite, I just slept on the couch Saturday night.
Reunions are always fun and filled with good food. The good part about the food at this event is that most of it comes straight from the gardens of someone attending. I avoided the pies and cakes and ate pretty decently. I grabbed fruit and whole wheat toast for us to enjoy for breakfast. All in all, food wise it was a good four days. Exercise wise, it was a busy busy time with lots of non stop movement so I know I burned a lot of calories.
Plus the good times are definitely good for the mental side of life. The few hours of driving time back home, and the unpacking of everything reminded me that I am not getting any younger but in spite of that, it was a good four days.
