Health Report - Day 63

Many of you know I had a fantastic day yesterday. I also had my first walking day. I haven't been able to walk any great distance since before I broke my ankle back in 2011. I believe that was the year. It was one week after the Tall Ship Festival and also after I put my dog down in August that year. So, it was good to be able to walk again through the complex. I will do it again today. I'll also be going to Aldi soon, so I will also be doing some store walking. I also looked up the calories burned for that half-hour walk.
Many of you also know my son treated me to Arby's yesterday. It was a great way to celebrate a successful day. I did calculate those numbers, so they are added in, which is why the sodium is very high.
So, here are yesterday's numbers.
Calories: 1490
Sugar: 24
Carbs: 112
Protein: 73.3
Sodium: 2061
Fat: 81.9
I had kept the numbers low before Arby's and had a light supper after before going to bed. All things considered, those numbers are pretty good. How did you do with your diet and exercise yesterday? Thanks for reading. Image courtesy of Pixabay.

Thank you. My knees are getting used to the idea they are walking and not swimming, though I expect to be back in the pool next week. My rib isn't giving me as much trouble as it did, though it still has a ways to go before it's fully healed.

@just4him true confession: i've nary a clue what one'f those sandwiches 'd be. i find 't shockin' that our fast food chains're so unhealthy here'n the u.s., yet 've changed their menus'n other countries where they're not quite so?
yer welcome! one's got'ta start somewhere 'n i'm jest e'er so proud 'f ya, hon. takes some time to build yer body back'p to where such's not such a chore.

Yeah, that was all the Arby's Greek Gyro I had. Otherwise, my numbers would have been a lot less.
Thank you. It took a long time to start walking. Every time I did in the past, I was winded in a few feet. I was still winded after a half-hour of walking, but not like before. Huge improvement.

@crazyhorseladycx From what I've heard, other countries demand better standards for their fast-food restaurants and regular dining facilities. It's too bad the US doesn't do the same. They cry obesity in the same breath as fast-food, but nobody does anything about it.
Thank you. Even my kids are seeing the improvement and that makes me happy.

A few steps yesterday and a few more more today. You will build up your walking.

Most of my sugar and fat intake are natural in the foods I eat. I try not to eat any added sugar.

Today wasn't a food conscious day for me. I am glad you are able to do walking again.

Not enough with the exercise. So hard to breathe. But I ate well for a change in spite of the breathing thing and indigestion. 
so that's good . You did great. An inspiration to us all.

It blows my mind how much sodium is in any type of fast food. The meal could be so much healthier if they would just cut back on the sodium.
Glad you enjoyed your Arby's and your numbers looks really good for your day.

I agree. They could cut back on the sodium. I guess they want an obese America.
Thank you.

Way to go! Yes those calories are not bad at all. That is what my doctor wanted me to see, how many calories was in the food I ate and told me to eat out, just watch the calories. Its an eye opener for sure.

Still under 1,500 which is pretty good. Any exercise yesterday made this number even lower. We use to enjoy Arby's once in a while, I like their chicken planks. Walking is a wonderful exercise, during nice weather.

That's great. I hope to work up to two half-hour walks.

That's good you do. Unfortunately, the Arby's trip was unplanned, so I needed to work around it to not get so many calories for the day.
Thank you.
