Tweak four part A: I did walk as much as I could, and more than any of the previous four weeks.  The back was totally better and the exercise felt great.

Tweak four part B: I also journaled everything I ate for about 5 days in the week.  Not perfect, but I am fine with that. 

Just journaling what I ate did indeed get me to pay more attention and take more care in what I ate.

I continue to eat beans almost every day.

The bad news is I am not feeling well–I am on antibiotics (for what appears to be a lingering bacterial infection) and they have me a bit pooped out.  So I am not promising any acrobatics this week.

Instead, tweak five is to eat as many fruits and vegetables as I can manage (in as close to their natural state as I can bear).  I kind of have been doing this the last few weeks too, but there is always room for growth.  I figure this tweak will help me recuperate as well as be part of my larger goal, and won’t take too much mental or physical energy away from getting better.

No doubt any of the previous tweaks would also help, should I be moved to repeat them.  I will see.

How are you doing?!?
