I Eat Everyday

    Since the last incident on the train with a lady falling on my injured foot, everything has been normal for the most part.       I had my regular physical therapist sessions and x-ray appointments. I had my last x-ray last Monday and the doctor said everything looks good. Also, I resumed my swimming. It felt SO GOOD just to be in the pool. Of course, I cannot do flip-turns or use full force, yet. Still, it is so nice to move in the water.         My father came to visit me while I was using one crutch. He helped with carrying things. It was nice to have my father with me for a little over a week. A week after my father left, my fridge broke down. I don't know the reason. All of a sudden, it stopped working. I cleaned the back of the refrigerator and left it unplugged for a day, no use. It is broken. My cousins suggested calling a handyman or ordering freon. I told them I don't know anything about it so you have to figure it out....

    I think today is Day 30.         It has been a while. The highlight of the last 10 days or so was somebody falling on my right foot on the train.   I had my health check-up and am still waiting for the result.  I don't think I have eaten any meat until yesterday when I had sausages.  Oh, I am using a foot mask right now. 

     It has been a minute.     I realized after a while if I am writing pretty much identical things such as "I am walking faster than yesterday or It was a good day", it will get boring for me. So, I stopped posting anything if I felt like the days had a mundane daily routine which was my weekdays.      On Sunday (10/13), I met up with my beautiful ladies. One couldn't make it due to a fever. Nevertheless, it was refreshing to go out and have coffee and lunch. We went to  Bondi Cafe Hiroo . I had coffee. We all had green curry with two types of fries. It was nice to eat out after almost two months of limited travel areas (hospital, home, work). I would have taken a photo to share here, but my mouth was so busy talking and catching up with my friends. Well, the internet has plenty of pictures of the place and food.       On Monday (10/14), as usual, I weighed myself and BGL. Both didn't change. Also, I finished my...

    These two days were rainy. I had to be extra careful because when the bottoms of the crutches get wet, they get pretty slippery. Since I cannot walk 100% on my own, it becomes scary. However, I managed to go to work using taxis when necessary.  On top of that, I became so hungry when I came home. So, on both occasions, I had cheese, almonds, and some yogurt.   I am eating in the morning and have something, if there is any, before 3 pm. Then my fast starts. Well, that didn't happen for the last two days, but it is okay. :)  Because of the weather, I want to wear closed-toed shoes. Unfortunately, my foot is still swollen and my shoes won't fit. Hoping that I can wear one in a couple of days. Fingers crossed. 

     So, I weighed myself this morning. I have lost 3.5 kilograms this week. However, my blood glucose level was higher. Well, I contribute that for bread with jam. Then I tried some of my clothes and they are starting to get loose. In this case, "loose" is a tiny bit of room.         Then, I had to leave for my x-ray appointment and physical therapy. I walked so much. I was so thankful that I was not in so much pain. It hurts sometimes but it doesn't last long.         I had another bread with jam before 3pm. I realized that I don' feel hunger after 3 pm. I think my body is getting used to it. Now, I can vary my fasting durations. There are specifics that I forgot. I read them in "Fast Like a Girl" by Dr. Mindy Pelz. I loved the book and learned so much. Also, she has tons of informative videos on her YouTube channel.         That is it for today. See you.

     It is my first day off. I didn't do anything at all.      I did make lamb vegetable stew with Mongolian flatbread. It was good. However, it has been so long since I had lamb, so it made my stomach upset my stomach towards the evening. So, I had hot green tea.      See you tomorrow.
