- Planned menus last night
- Learning how to splurge without totally eating everything else in sight.
- Didn’t finish all of my dinner.
- Soda City Splurge? Mango on a stick.
- Skipped the “magic” Coke machine for water.
- Met up with a high school friend who was in town. Pre-aneurysm, I would’ve never done it, but now I understand and better appreciate those friendships.
- Purchased an iPad to facilitate my voice therapy.
- Started using Fitbit to monitor my sleep again.
- Every part of my body was screaming to skip my workout, but I went anyway.
- Hadn’t eaten all day due to a outpatient procedure. Splurged on my favorite: Five Guys hot dog and fries, but didn’t eat all of it.
- Passed on an evening event so I could get to bed early.
- Got a manicure on my new no-longer-bitten fingernails. Still amazes me how good they look.
- Attended the EPC First Steps class in preparation to join the church.
- Called instead of emailing.
- Sent a card to a friend of a friend who has had a brain aneurysm.
- Skipped the baklava sundae at the Greek Festival.
- Figured out why I’ve been so sore: getting back to eight hour days at work and not used to sitting so much. Ordered a foot rest and will attempt to get up and move more next week.
- Celebrated six months since the “annie” – my annie-versary of sorts.
- Didn’t have a cookie between church and Sunday school.
- Brain aneurysm awareness month op-ed appeared in The State.
- Got back to the gym after a week long break AND did the Prowler, too.
- Coughing and sneezing like a normal person today. A good sign of progress in my airway healing.
- Post-workout sore for the first time since I’ve been back at the gym.
- Got up and out to the gym on my birthday and last medical day off.
- Had scrambled eggs with one egg and an added egg white at OPH today.
- I had Bojangle’s for lunch and DIDN’T have an “I blew it so let me eat crazy the rest of the day” afternoon/evening.
- Planned for the crazy week ahead the best I could.
- Was tempted to forgo my special order fruit tray at the conference to enjoy the Italian buffet, but decided to keep the fruit salad.
- Mom invited us over for pizza and instead of Marco’s, I had an Amy’s pizza.
- Learning how important it is to get my sleep, no matter what.
