My Cancer Journey Journal

My DCM health challenge for today: Plan a healthy snack for tomorrow: Prepare one to take with you, or decide what you will eat.

I did this yesterday. A friend mailed me the diet information she’d been given by a nutritionist. She knew I’d been struggling with transitioning off of the Keto diet. The information helped me to readjust my macros and it also gave suggestions for healthy high protein snacks. So, yesterday, I went to the grocery and the Amish market(which had just opened for the season and offers organic vegetables) and brought home fresh veggies and fruit and the high protein yogurt and cottage cheese to go with them. I think I’m set for the week.

Must Read Introduction

I started this blog four years ago when I was 62. At that time, it was a means of tracing my health and fitness goals and titled Living With Intention. I'm happy to say that I did get fit with the help of our local gym and my fitness trainer. I did improve my diet and lost over 65 pounds. Everything was going great until last year when I was diagnosed with a return of endrometrial cancer that had metasicized to my lungs. Needless to say, my entire world changed. I'm now eight months in and my once strong, fit body is now exhausted with the least exertion. It's been an emotional and physically trying journey. So, I started this journal to not just help me but to help others who are traveling the same path and to help their loved ones to understand what the cancer patient is feeling. I've now been in both positions and I know how lost I've felt dealing with both so hopefully, I can help others avoid some of that and to know they are not alone.
