Been eating organic foods, cooking in my new stainless steel utensils, and starting to consume some of the supplements I've obtained. Lots of pills with each meal--up to 13, 3x a day.

Have stopped consuming items with lots of sugar and starchy carbohydrates. Eating a lot of veggies, fruit snacks, and protein with each meal. No reports so far on what all of this is doing. I'm feeling a bit draggy, but that would be expected since I've cut off the sugars and the carbs.

Had a good walk this morning. Did a short route since I knew I'd be going shopping for new utensils. Ended up going to IKEA and getting a simple, inexpensive set of pots and pans.

Finished the Armstrong book and almost done with book about the 1996 Everest expeditions with references to the initial climb.

L asked me if I had a goal, a plan, for something special I'd be doing when I was 70. I hadn't thought of such a thing, but it's getting close enough to consider. My first thought was to say I'd run a marathon. Such a feat is prompted, no doubt, by the books I've been reading. But, I've also been feeling like I want to start running once again. Training for a marathon that's 3.5 years away may be just the thing to do. I'm pretty sure I don't want to climb Everest.

Something to make a note of and see where it takes me.

There's a cat outside my door. Someone must have it for a pet. It's not a stray. I've thought I've heard a cat meowing several nights ago.

I'm fading fast tonight. Like I said, no sugars to keep me going. Nearly time for final rituals and into the bed.
