Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will. -Mahatma Gandhi

Keeping my fingers crossed

Nope...I didn't walk today.  Knee joints  very stiff and sore.  I am sure this is what arthritis feels like.  Hard to bend the knees.  I ordered some runners double layered socks, like my friend suggested and they arrived yesterday.   Today I picked up at my moms a pain relief spray that has in it...  eucalyptus leaf oil, wintergreen leaf oil, peppermint oil and coconut oil.  Sprayed it on and immediate relief to where I can bend my joints easily.  It sprays on cool and then warms up quite a bit.  The plan is tomorrow, I spray my knees as soon as I wake up and cross my fingers that my joints will cooperate...so that I can get at least  3 1/2 miles in.


Yesterday I had turkey breast meat and a protein bar for a snack, 2 slices sprouted grain toast with peanut butter for lunch and for dinner  wild rice with raw red onions, tilapia and a year of corn with a pat of butter.  Later last nite  I  had two chocolate chip cookies...but I am okay with that.  Breakfast this  morning was a banana and Cheerios.
