Thanks, maeve! I think it's basically what I have been doing but different combos and amounts, plus it figures all of the points for me. I don't mind counting calories, but there is something psychological which words for me when I see a food only counts for 1 point out of a daily total. It's quite interesting the effect I am feeling mentally.

I also went to the shoe guy and had him adjust my shoes, both pairs, some more. Found out the coumadin levels were too high, thus the bruising on my feet, etc. I did more walking in and out of stores, med office, etc. than I have in a while, so there's a little bit more exercise today to boot.:-)

I am going to get one of those pedal machines. The kind you can put on the table and pedal with your hands and arms or put on the floor to pedal with your legs and feet. The shoe guy said it would be a good strengthening exercise much better than beating myself up about getting on the treadmill, which no one is recommending right now.
