Debbie Cousins's Journal, 24 Jun 23

Doing pretty well. Today is Day #28 of walking 5 miles a day (Day #240 in a row of walking at least a mile a day. My research says that I will have to walk with a walker for the first two weeks after surgery. I wonder if it is feasible to get in a whole mile each day to start? I really don't want to break my record of consistency!

Still eating too many snacks and drinking too much Diet Coke. I'm up to drinking about SEVEN cabs a day!. I'm toying with the idea of starting to get in 8 cups of water a day again, at least beginning in July - as I will need to be drinking plenty of water after surgery to combat the constipation which pain meds are likely to cause. I already take 3 stool softeners a day to TRY to remain "regular," but it has been five days now since I had a bowel movement. I would LIKE to get down to ONLY drinking 3 cans of Diet Coke a day - one with each meal, and none with snacks - and making all the rest water.

OK, going to try to get in a third mile of walking before my grandson wakes up (he spent the night after I watched him from 8:30 yesterday morning). I'll have him until about 5pm today, until his dad comes to pick him up.
