The problem with walking is that I always have to have my son with me and he complains that it’s boring, but if we walked In the mall I bet he’d like it more. Maybe I can convince RS to come with us a few days a week.

I blew low carb yesterday with three slices of pizza (I was super hungry of course) but I didn’t do so bad today. I had scrambled eggs and bacon for breakfast, the other two slices of pizza for lunch, and chicken breast, green beans, and a small serving of noodles for dinner. Came in under 120 carbs, which is what I’m aiming for. I probably shouldn’t have had the pizza but I didn’t want it to go to waste, nor did I want to spend money on another lunch.

Having my son’s Halloween candy around is killing me though lol I keep sneaking little pieces here and there. But I guess one fun size Twix a day is better than a whole package!
I find it's especially fun to walk in the mall over the holidays. I take a pedometer and slowly increase my distance and time.

If anyone recalls, I was mostly in a wheelchair and/or on crutches and had rehabbed myself by walking, even when all doctors told me I would never be able to do so. They'd said all of the damage was permanent. I worked with my chiropractor: she did not think I could rehab either, but she was willing to work with me. She has many certifications and degrees and we became very creative. I went from walking approx 100 feet to 3 miles over 2 months.

Sometimes, we must accept things.
Sometimes, with some effort and positive thinking, we can make some changes, even when the "experts" say no.

I hope you and your son enJOY the mall together!
