action planning for 03/23

At least it’s still Monday this week! That’s an improvement. Do I need to set a goal to get my action planning post up by Monday morning? Or maybe move goal setting day to Tuesday…

So, how have y’all been this week? How are those goals working out? Is there more that we can do to help each other with out goals? Ideas?

It’s been a pretty good week at Chez Zaz. Going to rehab has really helped my exercise goal. I still need to work on being more active on the days that I don’t go to rehab. That’s my focus this week – it can be hard to pry myself off my chair when no one is expecting me to make funny faces on the recumbent bike. Good news there, I can make the pedals go all the way around now. I noticed when I was walking my laps that my heel is close to touching the floor. It’d be nice if I could get it all the way and I guess we will see. There may be a water aerobics class in Berryville. I’ll be looking into that when I’m further along in rehab. That’d be great to work out without stressing my joints too much.

My eating goals have been pretty good this week. I had one day that I fell off the rails late at night and I don’t know what was different about that night. Still, it is an improvement and I am letting it be in the past. The next time I feel those temptations when I’m tired and in pain, I will try diverting myself. If I feel like I can’t stay in bed, maybe I’ll sign onto Runescape for a while and kill some monsters.

My blood sugars are a little higher with the med changes. I’m not overly happy, though they are still in the “acceptable” range. I have tweaked the insulin up a little and want to see how that feels a couple days before talking to Dr. G&P.

  1. I’ve had a pretty good week, except the cough came back accompanied by a touch of asthma to make my breathing more difficult. I’ve managed to make my exercise goals most days. After I started coughing again it was harder to exercise – I had to go slower on the bike so as not to over stress my breathing. I had a bad day yesterday with eating. Ended up eating 2 biscotti for my dessert last night instead of just one and had a bit of the roast beef that daughter was feeding the family for supper. I’ll be without dessert one day at the end of the month because I ate two yesterday. Yikes!

  2. Last week I only did light exercise, keeping my goals as is.

    I am not sure what would help me really, the action planning does help, and I still have to figure out the rewarding bit.

    Hope things go well for you all.
