Weird weather everywhere. We had big thunderstorms today with a lot of lightning and a few spells of heavy rain. Not typical for June here. Next we'll get some more typical days of 100+ (38c+) days.
My new right knee is doing great, but my left foot is getting wonky. I had a foot MRI yesterday, results in a week. The doctor said based on xray and ultrasound it might be Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction. It's not bad during the day but it zings me at night and it's keeping me awake. It's always something
Everything else is good, though, so I'll just hope for the best and keep on keepin' on, as the saying goes.
Good going with the swimming, JayEll. Wish I had something like that close to me.

is pretty much the only "vice" I have left. I'm going to have to come up with something else to try to get through the late afternoon walk though or my shorts will never fit! I think I'm going to try a different protein snack than the protein bars I've been eating- probably a boiled egg.
. Over the years my attitude towards food has really changed. 15 years ago I couldn't imagine ever being able to give up McDonald's bacon egg and cheese biscuits on my hiking days. Now the thought of such food is totally unappealing. But I do eat Starbucks Egg White Bites, which I wrap in a low-carb, high fiber tortilla. I still love chocolate, which I eat periodically. Dark chocolate covered almonds are actually nutritious.. But I always weigh and log it so I don't exceed my calorie budget. I like sweet carbs with my black coffee in the morning but try to keep it under 350 calories. I also love ice cream but somehow don't feel deprived when I haven't eaten it for years. It was harder when I was shopping for my elderly neighbor John, who wanted a couple of tubs of ice cream each week. But he has finally moved!
