It Isn't easy......

Life has it's little rough spots here and there and I am in one now.  Still having tummy trouble and pain so really dieting is a non-issue right now.  I still don't eat sugar and today I had some simple carbs....but that's how it is. I have a doctor's appointment with my GI doctor on Wednesday.  I did feel fine this morning....went swimming by myself.  Donaldo had a lot of outside work to do; trimming bushes and weeding and cutting the grass so he didn't want to expand too much energy swimming laps which is reasonable. 
If I didn't have swimming, I don't know what exercise I would do, because this is the only one I can stick to and actually like.  It does require effort to get up-and actually go, but once I am there I really like it and I feel so much better afterward.  I think exercise is a must in maintaining health and losing weight.  I will never be the size I was when I married and was for 20 years afterward, but seeing the scale go down is rewarding.  I think it is healthy for your heart and lungs to exercise. I wish everyone could do water exercise; I think it is so much easier on your body.
