On the second to last day of our raw 30 days I actually feel very fortunate since 1 year ago I was having a Thorocotomy to clean up a bad pleural effusion in my left chest. There's nothing like scaring your wife to death to get a guy thinking about being more healthy, and there's nothing better than having no ability to exercise to make you want to do it.
As it turned out, I began walking per Dr's order on 2/15/10 and by year end I had walked or hiked over 1000 miles - most of it in the first 5 months after surgery. The year ended much better than it started with our month in Peru and Ecuador which included the 4 day trek on the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu. Not to mention our fantastic group and climb of Mt St Helens.
We have had some questions about what our daily menu looks like so here goes. Until this last week when we have been having juice for breakfast and mid-morning snack, we were eating muesli with blueberries and almond milk for breakfast, veggie juice for a mid-morning snack, salad for lunch, an apple for an afternoon snack and either a big salad or one of the faux pastas with marinara or pesto or my "not really" chili. We normally have some nuts for a snack in the evening too.
More later.....
