My health challenge Day 9

Here we are, at the bottom end of yet another day. Not a hard day, but a long one spent mostly at the Community Gardens. 

I've been a bit off today. I've had a spot on my nose that has been of concern. A doctor checked it and said it was a sun spot, a precursor to cancer. Well, today, it started bleeding. So, I'm off to the doctors tomorrow to get this seen too, and hopefully removed.

After a lifetime in the sun, I really shouldn't be surprised. Especially as this isn't my first one. It's a humbling reality that even though I wear 50+ now and really dislike being exposed in the sun, previous sun abuse is rearing it's ugly head. 

All I can do is continue to look after my health now. I'm hoping to age well in this body, so it's kind of important I do!

DAILY FOOD

Breakfast: last of the parfaits with extra walnuts on top. Soooo good! 2 coffees, one with coconut cream. This gave me heartburn :(

Lunch: Quinoa wrap with cream cheese, fermented beetroot relish and low carb salad. Coffee with skim.

Afternoon Tea: Piece of no added sugar banana bread while visiting a friend. So delish!

Dinner: 2 baby carrots while preparing dinner. Miss 2 stole one, so i ate another :)
1 cup of steamed cauliflower topped with a small, saucy serve of chicken spag bol (no pasta) topped with cheese.

DAILY ACTIVITY

Several hours of community gardening, which including much walking, lots of watering, a little bit of digging and some heavy carrying. It also included a lot of sitting while the boys concreted. I enjoyed this part the most, especially after yesterday's training.

There you go, another day, another success. 

I look forward to bringing you tomorrow's update.

Until then, thanks for reading :)
