Friday, May 30, 2014

Went to sleep at 9, woke up at 4 totally refreshed. I cleaned, sent my older sister a birthday ecard, thanked my parents for adopting my younger sister and myself 30 years ago today, and refilled my filter water pitcher for the day. If the child support was here, I would have paid the bills too. It's not even time to get Chloe up for school. She has an awards assembly at noon, then she's done for the Summer. We'll probably walk around the mail after that, it's supposed to be humid again today. I guess finally giving up soda really does make a difference.

update

To update on my last blog entry:

Today, I haven't had any headaches. I was able to climb some extra stairs. Feeling awesome. Heading to bed. Have a good night.

finally...

For years, I've been talking about how I'm going to lose weight. Now I am finally taking it seriously. Currently, I'm overcoming my soda addiction. Most people think you can just stop cold turkey. When you drink as much Mountain Dew for as long as I have, your body starts to think it needs it. Every time I tried to quit, I would have horrible withdrawal headaches. I've gone long enough now, that the headaches are more tolerable and I don't crave or desire drinking a Dew. I am now starting to sleep better. Since November, I've been seeing Dr Geri K from Kruckenberg Chiropractic Clinic (forgive me if I misspell) in Moline, IL, for my knees, back, and headaches. Lately, I've been able to walk longer and take stairs better. Next week, I'm starting physical therapy for my knees. Lately, I have been eating a lot better. If I do eat junk, it's very limited. Recently, Chloe and I moved to a new apartment on a steep hill. I didn't think I could walk up and down it, but I can. *pat on the back*. Feeling so much better. Will keep you all posted. I WILL LOSE THIS WEIGHT!
