Twenty-first Day — Reducing walking steps

Since I was not feeling good yesterday evening I stayed indoor to do some light walking. I did about 2,000 steps and then wind down with BaDuanJin. It took about 45 minutes. In all, I tried to maintain the heart rate below 90 bpm. I was experiencing less prickling. 

I decided to make an excel to record my situation with temperature, blood pressure, and heart rate. I used the oximeter and the XOSS for heart rate during exercise. 

Later afternoon, at about 4:30pm. I felt very tired and was trying to sleep but had a strange feeling of needing more energy to breathe, as if the chest and the stomach were tightening. I tried to rest but it was difficult. I stayed in bed for an hour, was not really sleeping but drifting along, woke up an hour later. 

It was dinner time, so I started cooking. Although I was slightly light and not so alert, moving around, being occupied with cooking helped to distract from the discomfort. Today, as usual, I cooked porridge with pumpkin; it was easy for me to swallow and needed less chewing and movement of the tongue. I fried a spinach with some cheery tomatoes. I had to chopped the spinach into small slices of about 1.5 cm, easing chewing, and the cherry tomatoes were sliced into halves. I loved to add some ginger which were sliced into granular size, with French salt (introduced by a friend, Yip Seng) and light olive oil, shimmered the cherry tomatoes, cut side facing down, turned down the fire, until the fluid oozed out of the tomatoes then I would pour in the spinach. Turned the fire to the fullest and kept frying the spinach until it shrivelled and turned dark green for about five minutes then off the fire, covered it for another five minute. I would coin this as the Glucose, Sucrose and Fructose way of cooking. I also warmed up the left over during lunch, eggs with cucumber.
