ER, I am thrilled you are enjoying your time away, meeting people, feeling good & I''m guessing, getting some good photos & making good memories to treasure.
Very well done calling the relative & having the productive chat with her, evidently, with both of you able to be respectful & coming to understand each other better. I am impressed. I fully understand how difficult it is to have our boundaries respected.
I'm continuing to do my exercises, though today my back is hurting so I feel the need to take it easy for a bit. I'll do some stretching, in an effort to loosen it up, but maybe not using the weights for a bit.
Going to hydrotherapy tomorrow. I will need to mention my back if it is still aching & stiff when I bend & straighten it.... I think being in the water will make the exercises I'll do easier anyway.
I saw a dietician & am trying to follow the advic*e, which I'm not sure I like much, because it means I will have to switch up things, & have my salads in the evening, when it's cooler, & I'd rather something hot to eat.
She also said to avoid the carbohydrates in the evening* - but that's what helps me feel fuller ... so it's not easy for me to make these changes.
For now, I think I still want some pasta or potato or bread or rice with my evening meal - not going to suddenly stop having things 'cold turkey'. & it does feel like that ... you know, a habit I need to change.
*Note: just because that's what one dietician suggested for me does not mean it's the same for you. Please seek your own dietary advice for your particular needs.
