For the past week, I have not been diligent in doing anything that I want. I have not accomplished a single morning routine. I haven't weighed. I haven't been good about taking my medication. I must really become focused with this. I have done just enough in the house that I have managed to make it worse than it was to begin with.
Tomorrow I set some MUST DO goals. First, I will get up and weigh and complete my morning routine. I am also going to clean out my fridge and get to the grocery store and restock with healthy foods and start cooking them. I will plans menus for the remainder of the week. I will lay out some VERY SPECIFIC goals after I weigh tomorrow. I have my one year follow up with my liver specialist the end of March and I need to lose 30 pounds by then. This is a matter of life and death for me. My sister officially went on the liver transplant list this past week and I hope I can stop this disease before I reach that point. I will walk at least five minutes on the treadmill tomorrow. I don't want to overdo it while recovering from an intestinal virus but I am no longer going to let things stop me. If five minutes is all I can manage, I will celebrate that until I am able to do more.
I also have an appointment for a pedicure tomorrow. So that will be my pampering for myself tomorrow. I also have an appointment with my therapist tomorrow and I am thinking I really need that.

Betty we are all there with you and I have to say that I myself struggle to make changes...I hate taking med. My perscriptions I can handle but my vitamines(which are good for me) I try to get Tom to take them for me...A Diet is the pits cause it cost you more at the check out at the grocery store.. Oh food that is good for you is good but cost more and it takes an effort to plan your meals..YOU CAN DO IT!!(not yelling) You have the will power, the knowledge and the support of all your friends.. Should we start a contest?? Hee Hee.. Each day is a new day and we can increase our goals each day to do better...I am with you!!!
