Day 29 Pill 29

   Hi all its been a few days. I have been doing real good, last night I got to walk 2 miles. On Sunday I did about 1/2 mile up hill non stop. Do to the weather out side right now I will not be walking tonight but I will get 15 to 20 minutes on the glider. I have been very hesitant about running sense I got the news about my blood pressure ( me freaking out ) I plan on walking on nice outside days through next week then on march 18th I am going to start  running. On Friday the 11th I am having a lump removed from my back, so running is out of the question for 1 week.
    I got some really good news from the doctors today I went in for my 30 day follow up since I started taking blood pressure medecian  and she ( the medical technician ) said perfect. My blood pressure was  122 over 70. Yahoo......

   My wife has been really good about helping me change my diet ( cutting out salt ). With a low salt diet I am finding my taste buds changing, things I didn't like in the past are all of a sudden not tasting bad at all.

This is my brother and me after the Providence bridge peddle last year, just thought I would through it in.

Day 24 Pill 24

Hi all this is what I had for dinner tonight. Looks good, It was. Its called Thai Chopped Chicken Salad from Panera Bakery. My wife and I went there for dinner tonight.

Next Friday I am going to have minor back surgery so I will be down for the weekend. So I thought it would be nice for us to get out for a little while. After dinner we went to a new health store in Happy Valley called New Seasons (lots of good stuff ).

Today the rain came down all evening not good for walking or running. Looks like it the glider tonight. my wife made me a smoothie for breakfast today only 50 milligrams(mg) of salt. for lunch I had a Subway sandwich and you are looking at the salad I had for dinner. Be blessed. Have a great day.

Day 22 Pill 22

Well the day is over for me time for bed.  So oatmeal and milk for breakfast is 270 mega grams (mg). I haven't figured out how much is in the sandwich wrap yet but I will. I switch between turkey and beef wraps, we get them at Winco they come 2 to a container. I take 1 for my lunch. I found some some Bite size Frosted Shredded Wheat that is 0 mg of salt ( guess what  my new snacks is) . Haven't gone out walking yet but I did get 25 minutes on the glider tonight. Dinner was amazing, my wife made this home made Chicken pot pie. It was good, good, good. I am so blessed.  My wife is an amazing cook. She is helping me in so many ways to bring down my blood pressure, She has been meeting me at the door every night when I get home from work and greeting me with a smile and  a kiss. She is amazing...... Tomorrow if the weather holds I will venture out for a walk when I get home from work.  Have a blessed day...

Day 21 Pill 21

Hi there its been a few days. If you read my last post you remember I hurt my foot, Well its getting better. I still cant walk very far but I managed to get 15 minutes in on the glider last night. I 'll jump on it again tonight for a few minutes. Did you know just about every thing out there (food wise) has salt in it. My wife has got me looking at everything. The other day I thought I was doing real good when I had Toast and jam the jam being 5 mega grams (mg) of salt. The bread is 170 mg for 2 slices. WOW. I have  been trying to keep my salt intake down to 1000 mg a day. So Here is what I had today for breakfast I had this Fruit and vegetable drink that my wife made me in the blender i think the only salt in it was the orange juice (20mg). She just told me the whole drink was 50mg. and a glass of milk (135mg) with my vitamin's. For lunch I had A low salt 6inch Subway Sandwich and 20 ounces of tea (20mg) none of my snacks today had salt in or on them. for dinner i had a small helping of the low salt Mexican casserole. it was made with boiled chicken instead of meat, it is real good. and a glass of milk (135mg) Well i think I did OK today. Have a blessed day....
