Eating and walking

As with all other aspects of my life, I have had new experiences in eating since starting chemotherapy. My attitude toward food has changed. At first, when I started chemotherapy, I thought I would loose my appetite or would be nauseated and unable to eat. I was told this could happen.  I laid in a supply of high calorie easy to digest food for the occasion. Then I sat back and waited. As with so many aspects of this experience, what I thought would happen, never happened. I found that I could eat pretty much what I wanted with no repercussions. However my tastes changed. I no longer wanted the huge salads I had been eating every day since I started my weight loss journey 3 years ago. I don't want any kind of meat. I want fresh fruit, cooked vegetables, yogurt, whole grains and plant based protein. I also don't want processed food such as frozen dinners.  At first I was eating a lot of ice cream. But I have lost my taste for it.
My weight has stayed stable. The doctor told me I might gain weight because the 5 days of prednisone I take after chemo makes you hungry. At least that hasn't happened. Ive resumed going to the gym and the Wild Animal Park. I find that both activities bring me much joy and happiness. For so long these two activities have been food for the soul as well as the body. It's wonderful to be doing them on a regular basis again.
I went to the Wild Animal Park today. There was hardly anyone there. I wandered around peacefully drinking in the beauty of the place. It was one of those patented San Diego days, 70 degrees and sunny. Life is beautiful!
