Just got home from a basketball game. We had a great day. We haven't broke our "diet" all day.


Last week I purchased a 72 piece, BPA- free, plastic container set at our grocery outlet for $9.99. They make it possible to send Owen to work with salads and soups and veggie sticks with dressing. I also sent a large container of nuts to his office so he can munch on something other than sweets or fattening foods. Because the containers were cheap I'm not worried about not getting them back.


 He seems to be a bit edgy and extra tired. I think he may be detoxing. He may think it's because he hasn't had Pepsi for two weeks. Maybe it's a bit of both. I'm proud of him for seeing it through.


 Owen's folks had an exercise bike in the barn so we cleaned it up and brought it in. It's kind of squeaky but it works. I'm the only one who has used it, but starting next week we will add the daily biking to our little experiment. According to Parkinson's research biking is the best exercise. It does something to stabilize the nervous system.


I think it's best to take things slow and add change one thing at a time. That way it's actually possible to accomplish the goal. We can accomplish just about anything if we set reasonable goals with reasonable time frame.


This Sunday we will weigh Owen and see how we are doing.


Until next time.
