I've been through the storm.... Thank God I am making it
Jul 06, 2010
It has been a rough week, still sore. Instead of head hunger, I have movement hunger. My mind tells me to move and get things done. My body says, slow down and rest. I think we have finally come to a balance.
Though I have pretty much met my goal for this week, there are something’s I can improve on.
· Water . When I was released to start drinking, it was hard for me to figure out how to sip. It hurt quite a bit to drink water or any beverage. Because of the pain, I stop drinking out of a cup for 3 days and only used a spoon. I found it much easier, but I have not been getting my liquids in. This is something I hope to do better the next week. · Consistency with meds. It took me almost the entire week to figure out when to take meds. I must do it before I eat or drink. I tried drinking first and ran out of room a couple of times. It didn’t take long to figure it out. Every time I got it wrong, there was an uncomfortable full feeling reminder waiting. · Exercise. Now that I have begun to consistently progress due to my new tool, I am excited to start exercising. This will have to wait. I am on a six
week restriction. Come August 12th, I am starting C25K. Until then, it will
be 30 minutes walking at a comfortable pace.
· Protein. I only got an average of 15 grams the past 3 days. I thing I will add the protein bullets this week. All in all, I am thankful that I am recovering and there are no major issues. I feel better every day.
