Possible Bad News Rescheduled

For lunch, I had a medium sized wheat tortilla, sour cream, fresh spinach, chicken breast and shredded cheddar cheese.

It was good but I'm still hungry.

Probably because I didn't really have much of a breakfast aside from two crackers and a protein drink. I'm trying not to eat too much because I have to eat tonight at work. Which means my breakfast starts at five thirty pm as a fruit smoothie, then greek yogurt for snack, then spinach with tomatoes and cucumbers with chicken and rice vinegar dressing, cottage cheese and raisins for a snack and for dinner is going to be peas, asparagus, broccoli and turkey bits seasoned with garlic and herbs.

How does that menu for tonight sound?

Well, to the doctor's appointment soon and then working out, shower, resting before work, prepping my food and then on to work.

Will update this after doctor's appointment.

3:32PM

Apparently, Dr. Chauvet had an emergency at noon and his assistants didn't bother to call in time to reschedule the appointment. Needless to say, I'll find out on Thursday...thanks to the nurses silently gesturing to each other over my lab results, I am now very pessimistic about them.

The worse thing they could tell me is that I am dying...something I already knew. So I will not agonize over them and give it up to God.

I was angry though about the whole thing so I worked out as soon as I got home...I completed about 80 percent of today's video...pushed myself hard but not hard enough. With time.

THE PT 24/7 PROJECT
JOURNAL ENTRY #7

Today's work out had my heart beating fast...and if felt good. I can do a little more than what I was able to do last week...and I get excited at the idea of working out.

I'm getting more flexible, able to touch my toes without bending my knees and I can squat without losing my balance...

It's good to be able to paint my toenails without having to prop my foot on my other knees or tie my shoelaces without losing my breath.

I am going to start a food journal now that I have food in the fridge. Tonight's menu has been written above and I already have my eating schedule in my head.

Basically, I will be eating every two and a half hours...that covers three meals and two snacks and still gives me three hours after my last meal before I go to sleep.
