A day for change

Today is a good day for change. "They" say "A sure sign of insanity is to continue doing the same thing over and over the same way and expect a different result".

Not saying that is what I do, but I tend to change for a short time and then settle back into old habits, and yes, I expect things to change. (I must be Insane) Like I can make it change, because I want it to change. Dah...I guess it is the stubborn streak in me. Believing I have control over the end result, but unwilling to approach the problem in a different way.

I have descided today, as today is as good as any day. Not to mention its a day after my BIRTHDAY. To keep a diary of what I eat. and Record my health and weight progress. Plan only one day at a time. Just like an alcoholic I guess. I will treat food in just the same way. Monitor what I put into my mouth. 1 mouthful at a time.
I think I am having a light bulb moment.

NO I am not ready to post to the world, my diary, even though I know no one reads this Blog.

FOR ME!

The humble Egg

Remember when I said I would eat eggs every day for a month, this is day 3 I think.

I AM EGGED OUT ALREADY!

How many ways can you have eggs.

Poached
Fried,
Boiled
Scrambled
Omelet..!!

Not sure I can do this..
Do You think if I ate chicken it would be the same..??? just a question

A Barrel load of Vitamins

I have been feeling pretty bad of late. You see for health reasons I take a barrel of vitamins every day. Just recently I have gotten hooked on frozen yogurt + fruit smoothies. and I was feeling great. Well as I was feeling so great I thought I would stop taking my barrel load of vitamins, after all they say you can't beat good wholesome food, to get all the vitamins you need.

Well that was great but I think it may have been the reason my cholesterol shot through the cholesterol barrier. Doc says I should avoid dairy, and all animal products.

Well that's when I started wilting, and it was a fast decline. As I had forgotten to resume my barrel load of vitamins each and every day.

Light bulb moment...take the vitamins....Am feeling so much better now.

Now Cholesterol...had a visit from a friend just yesterday..now he said that EGGS was the way to go...brought his cholesterol down so low it could not get a reading..

Remember the doctor said no animal products....I am taking up the challenge..two a day for 1 month...and then back to test my cholesterol... reading as of last visit was 6.8...I was shocked to. So I guess I will prove the doctor wrong or this will kill me..

Watch this space for results....mid February.

Piss of Shitty thoughts

I have felt so sick the last couple of days. I hate feeling sorry for myself, but I have days when I am dragged so far down, it is hard to keep positive. I continually remind myself that this is much better than the alternative.

Have you ever just shut your eyes, and wondered what it would be like never to open them again. I have. That's where POST comes in. PISS OFF SHITTY THOUGHTS And this saves me.

Visited my GP a few days ago. I felt worse when I left. Good news Blood pressure is good, bad news Cholesterol not so good..

So I have a challenge ahead of me to reduce my cholesterol. Bad fats ,Good Fats.

So I guess the rule is if it tastes good its bad, if it tates bad it' good.

I think I'm doomed.

If some one had asked me 10 years ago where I thought I would be today. I would never had thought I would have had any health issues. Boy, I have hit the jackpot.

So a lesson to each and every one out there. Do not put of till tomorrow what you can do today.
Because tomorrow, you may not have any choice.

Shit Here We Go Again!

I got up this morning, my first thoughts were "shit here we go again".

I quickly dismissed the thought "POST" a saying my patient husband taught me "piss off shitty thoughts" I never thought I could, but I have learnt it's the only way I could or would survive."POST" "POST" POST"

I struggled out of bed, that's step 1, just to sit up and manoeuvre my legs over the side of the bed is a huge accomplishment in itself, don't stop now I say to myself (I do allot of that, more like encouraging myself, no I am not mad)
Step 2 to sit in my not so reliable chariot to answer a nature call. (Sorry it Happens)
Step 3 Drape a robe over self just encase my girls had a friend over, after all I did not want to pay for their counseling session because I had caused them a traumatic experience. Poor Dears
Step 4 Make sure I don't destroy anything left in my path, pick up as I go....

I tell my self to count my blessings "laughing out load" it could be worse. At least I can get out of bed to answer a nature call. BIG PLUS

So now I say "Good Morning World" Breathe breathe breathe 1 2 3 4 5 6 ....
