there are all kinds of new advances happening in regards to treating Alzheimers AND as you said, it's very early (when treatments can be more effective).

Do you have something like a fitbit? If not, get one when you feel better. Don't try for the mythical 10,000 steps a day. You most likely won't even come close & you'll just get discouraged and quit. (I did the 1st few times I used one.)

Just let it track your normal activities for a few days & see what your "normal" average is. Then set a goal for about 500 steps more. Once that gets relatively easy, add another 500. And just keep it up.

When I started I was only averaging around 2500 steps a day. Pathetic, huh? I'm now up to averaging around 7000 (although I have broken the 10,000 zone a time or two). My absolutely minimum is 6500 and if that means I'm marching around the living room at 11:55pm to get there, so be it!!! But usually I'm landing somehwere between 7000 and 8000.

I need to go on & bump my minimum up to 7000 but all the mowing has played heck on my numbers. Even though I get a heck of a workout on that thing, it's not reflected in my daily steps so on days when I do a lot of mowing, I'm exhausted and getting that 6500 minimum is a struggle.

Using a food tracker also helps. I use the free My Fitness Pal app to log every single bite that goes into my mouth. I allow myself 1400 calories a day (but only 105 grams of carbs and 54 grams of fat because I'm also fighting pre-diabetes and high cholesterol). And I do my best to stick that that. The calorie part is usually the easiest - trying to keep both the carbs & fat/cholesterol down is a booger!!! All the low carb diets tell you to eat meat & eggs. And all the low fat diets tell you to eat complex carbohydrates. AAAARRRRGGHHHH!

p.s. I have my 32 oz tumbler of hot tea every morning. Usually with a teaspoon of honey and a teaspoon of heavy cream. But that goes into the log & counts towards my daily totals. I'll give up a lot of other things before I'll give up that!!
