Overdue Update.
Jun 06, 2009
It's been over a month since I blogged. I've been dealing with work issues, back pain and surgery and recovery, My youngest daughter visiting for a few weeks and of course, marital issues.I need to have an outlet and I'm hoping this blog will be it. I need to see the positive progress I am making!
I think having an outline with specific issues to update will work. It's a work in progress and will probably change but I want to make sure certain things are consistant. That's the perfectionist in me!
1) Weight. This will be updated every Sunday morning. I can't get on the scales more than once a week or I drive myself nuts with a few ounces coming and going.
2) Update on what I eat. I have been recording things on my Livestrong.com "The Daily Plate" and although I am keeping my calories down, I'm not eating correctly. I started out well but kinda went of the rails so I'm going to sit down and write out a few days menu. I'll keep track of my foods this way. If it says I have to eat 3 oz of chicken, then that's what I'll eat. That usually works well for me.
3) Exercise. With me just 10 days out from surgery, that will be a bit sparse for another week or so. But I am vowing to get in 30 minutes of walking a day and 15 minutes on the Wii Fit everyday. I'll increase my exercise time on 6.22.09. TBD as to the increase.
4) Support. I want to keep a record of support groups that I have attended and will be attending. This section may have a date of the next support group or will have an update on the group discussions. My plan is to attend 3 support groups a month. I think this is very attainable.
5) Appointments. This will be like the support category. Dates will be placed and which physician, nutritionist, procedure unless there is an update on the specific appointment.
6) Insurance. I want to keep on top of the insurance issues as they come up. I don't want anything to fall through the cracks.
7) Emotions. This will probably be used the most! I have a lot of different thoughts going through my head. I have a good support system at home some days and other days, no support at all. I have to deal with jealousy and disgust and doubt almost daily.
8) Work. I know this will be off topic but if I write up what I deal with on a daily basis, I might be able to see how to handle the issues.
9) Misc. Just what is says. Misc. information-the dog ran away, I car broke down, you know....things like that!
