I just got laid off from my Big Girl job on Tuesday. About a year ago I would have been all Sad Girl. Now? My mantra is: I can handle this! Instead of being all mopey I am taking control of my life and my health. Beginning with answering this question: What the hell and I doing?
A lot of my health issues can be managed with some serious lifestyle changes. The Bipolar needs me to stick to my schedule. Get plenty of sleep and eat a good diet. The Diabetes needs me to stick to an eating schedule. Get plenty of sleep and eat a good diet. The blood clot(s) in my lungs...(sigh) those mother fuckers. I just need those basters to go away. For that to happen I REALLY need to stick to my schedule. Those fuckers are fatal and I REALLY don't want to die right now. Do you sense a pattern?
So the answer to the question is...I am going to create and stick to a schedule that is livable for me. Eating every 2.5 to 3 hours is a big one. Not going to worry too much about WHAT I am eating right now. The goal at this point is to put something in my pie hole every three hours so my blood sugar doesn't spike and I don't get all Cranky Pants. I am also going to walk around my hood five times a week and post my stats on this here blog.
GAME ON!

PS: I am pondering doing a couch to five K. What do you think? Can I actually DO a 5K? It seems really far but I really want one of those stickers for my car LOL
I think your goal is very doable! Not just blowing smoke up your pencil skirt either. Even if you don't stick to a schedule - something routine is better than nothing as a start. Team Texlie!
ReplyDeleteYou can do a 5K. By having the goal, you will be able to hold yourself accountable. Remember, there's no law that you have to run the entire thing. :)
ReplyDeleteOnce you have your routine down with eating on your schedule, you can start thinking about what you're eating. Right now, getting to the schedule is the most important thing.
I know you can do this. Rock on, my friend!
