o.k. something worked...woohoo....maybe...LoL
keeping that Protein intake up there without going over my self imposed limits on the Sodium & Cholesterol was quite the challenge! I didn't care about the Calories or the Carbs - well within reason - of course ~* wink *~

I promised myself to try it for 2 weeks and something worked because I have not had that painful swelling in my legs & feet...there's a bit of swelling but pfft at least I can wear normal shoes again! LoL
and of course the obvious is the # on the scale!

I was kinda worried that all of the added Fiber, from the lentils and split peas, was gonna have me living in the bathroom but quite the opposite happened - weird, but livable.

I am still walking up & down my flight of stairs 5 consecutive times but doing it 2 sometimes 3 times a day now - it depends on how much the work injury to the lower back screams at me for over-use! I do try 6 flights of stairs every once in awhile just to scare the hell out of my lungs - to remind them that they're still attached to a feisty, old broad who likes to shake things up! 😏

All in All...I'm happy with my progress and will continue to monitor my Protein, Sodium and Cholesterol intake..
wishing everyone patience in their daily battles ♡ you got this ♡
