[fast5] Re: Susie - Day 3

Hi Karen,
Yes, a saw a post by Heather mentioning something like salads/veggies/fruit first, followed by lean protein, starches/dessert. I should hunt it down again and copy it.
Yup, so right. I know I've got this big burst of energy to do well, but it's the long haul I'm after and it's the "journey" to learn from that will help me. Thanks for the advice and the motivation.
Oh and arthritis... I'll be 50 in a month and have had a tough time learning to slow down. I used to run road races, ski, hike... and active life. Now it's just getting through the day with some light stationary bike or easy walking. My arthritis is in my left hip w/ some bone on bone, a herniated disc in the lumbar back area, but with accupuncture that seems to be under control. A hip replacement has been suggested for my future, but I'd like to get rid of some of this weight first. I've put 35-40 lbs on in the last 5-6 years as my activity level has gone down with ailments. Compounded with the age thing, it's been tough to find something that works. Until now, that is!!
Well, it's Day 4 and doing well,
Susie
