G’Day!
I am enjoying summer in winter! I am Downunder with some of
my family who are working here on a project for a few months. Tasmania is a
great place to do summer in winter.
I am adjusting to a very restricted diet because of me
gastritis but I'm doing quite well. My diet consists of a lot of rice
especially brown rice and also a black rice I found here. Tons of fresh vegetables like kale, spinach,
beets and zucchini. I'm also enjoying some of the amazing summer fruits
including some of the best apricots that I’ve had since my own father grew them
in his backyard in California.
My stamina is much better and my strength is improving as
well. I work out pretty regularly at the gym that is close by where I'm staying
in Tasmania. Plus, I walk several miles a day averaging 5 to 8 miles almost
every day. Hobart is a really walkable city which makes it such a pleasure to
get around. I am so incredibly grateful
that I have taken so much better care of my health these last year’s. With my
cycling, skiing and other sports I am in the past physical condition of my
life. I can really enjoy a place like this and get out and see the sights by
doing a ton of walking, much of which are done in tandem with a cute two-year
old who I push around in her stroller.
I am still losing
weight, and am now closing in on a weight that I have not seen for over 25 years.
I think it really comes down to my
restricted diet but also that I’m gluten free.
And to Sharon and Jane-thanks so much for visiting my blog
and leaving a comment. I think about you both and hope for the best for you.
Till the next time,
Michele
