thanks for the advice.

My daughter suffers from service related injuries, lots of nerve damage. I don't lecture her on diet and I don't give diet advice because sick people are sick and tired of advice. I also suffer from fibromyalgia which really screws with my cognitive abilities and immune system and found pain relief changing my diet and learning to accept and work with my disabilities. My Dad was an Air Force Captain, thank you for your service @fixedbydoc.

im a certified health education spc. with a focus on health, fitness, and nutrition. you might like some of my health blogs ive posted. thank you for your families service as well...

Thank you @fixedbydoc, I will check out your blogs, I am glad to know you. My husband and I walk four miles a day and it's time for our walk right now. I found walking really helps with my balance issues and muscle pain.

i go on long extended hikes. my last one lasted 5.5 months. i hiked the entire Appalachian trail 2200 miles. planning a 4038 mile bike ride for next summer from san francisco to washington dc.

OMG, I wanna do that too! I go on month long meditation retreats when my husband goes and visits his family in the Netherlands. In a way it feels like a long trek! hahaha, hiking the Appalachian trail would be so cool!

i should have my training program posted for my bike trip tomorrow hopefully...

well you can come next summer on our bike trip. 2 others are planning to come with me so far. ive posted the first 6 parts of my AT trip here on steemit so far and the complete series is on fixedbydoc.com

My endurance needs some work, I would love to come with you all. I will talk to my husband. He is a tall hobbit from the Netherlands, the Dutch love their bikes. But their towns are so small they don't do much endurance biking. I can't get him to go camping and he loves his food, being uncomfortable is not his cup of tea. I grew up camping and hunting in the Pacific Northwest so this type of activity is natural for me, not so much for my husband, being a hobbit and all.....hahaha

I will get my bike out and start practicing!
