I'm feeling decent right now and there is some new peervteviewed research that exercise helps tumors grow slower, so that's pretty motivating. I'm sure you can imagine my energy level isn't phenomenal. It's active but stable, but I haven't been taking care of my body other than just trying to keep it alive. Not before breakfast, later in the day! I have pelvic floor dysfunction so I need to have five minutes of mild activity, eat a high fiber breakfast, and drink a warm caffeinated beverage all within 45 minutes of getting out of bed! □ There is a"Heart Healthy 1 Mile Workout with Bands" that I'm going to try for the first time tomorrow. It's just five minutes and I'm doing it while my breakfast gets ready before work. I am using Leslie Sansone's "Walk 500 steps now" first thing every morning. I'm almost embarrassed □ to post my baby goal, but ripping off the band-aid, my goal this week has been to walk 2000 steps a day minimum (yup, that's it, total, and that's about a 400% increase) Starting Monday the 15 th I'm going to increase that to 2250/day. We're an ongoing conversion over here for sure I am a little nervous about travelling again- every menu seems to be loaded with cheese and milk now that I don't eat it! My nut milks and occasionally yogurts have very small amounts of protein. This week I've been making smoothies with trader joe's almond butter or refried beans in a breakfast burrito to try to up my morning protein. I'm trying to bolster with veggie protein sources which honestly can be a bit of a struggle and one of the big reasons I could never imagine going totally vegan. Instead it's fine to have just a little bit of meat mixed in with a lot of veggies/carbs in a lot of my meals so I'm feeling good about those changes. We still eat meat and I try to eat eggs and fish a few times each week, but I've noticed since going dairy-free that we definitely eat fewer animal products and I find when I do have steak or meat I don't desire huge cuts anymore. Since going dairy-free last year I find myself ordering the vegan options and scouring vegan recipes. Thank you for the spice suggestions! I didn't realize you were vegan! Now you'll have to help me troubleshoot my recipes moving forward- I'm diving into the elusive mac n cheese with nut yeast again this winter for sure
