Hungry for Health


My health is going down fast. Need to lose weight and control my blood sugar to get better. Arthritis in my knees is holding me back from walking and just normal movement. I am retired, single, no children and just love to grow vegetables and flowers. My goal for next spring is to have a start on a wonderful garden. I know the need for support is very important and love the idea of having it with Spark People.

    OK...How are you doing? How is the weather change affecting your knees. My back has really been bad. Haven't been able to do as much walking as I usually do. I also have issues with my knees. I find if I can walk just 5-10 minutes my stiffness and pain is better. But when my back is really bad I have to sit. So I do the chair fitness videos. I wanted to thank you for stopping by and reading my blogs. Veterans have a special place in my heart. Have a great day. Hugs Pat.
