I mentioned previously that my husband was diagnosed a week ago with congestive heart failure, probably brought on by his chemotherapy. I have started checking the sodium contents of the food we eat, even though no one has given us any dietary directives to do so. Surprise. We already were on a low sodium diet. I will have to watch some items I buy, as certain brands of salsa, spaghetti sauce, and whole grain cereals have a little more salt than others, but in general eating a whole food, plant based unprocessed food diet is very low sodium.

I am still jogging a little three times per week. In reality it is more "jogging-like" slogging, a jogger-wannabe type motion. Yesterday I was going up the last hill toward home and a car stopped me. The driver complimented me on being out there and actually running, wishing she could do the same. I was tempted to mention my slowness and that I am a beginner again. I do think that she said it because I am such an unlikely looking jogger. But then I decided to just accept the compliment. I was out there jogging, and up a hill no less. I will have to remember to compliment others doing the same....to feel free to stop my car and compliment a stranger.
