Life in the way and not getting off track

Monday, June 29, 2009

I made my decision to live a healthy life on 6-22-09 by recommitting to a healthy lifestyle. I am sad to report that since then I haven't been very accountable. I haven't been horrible in making choices either.

I haven't weighed in since then.

Since starting my new job I have had a hard time adjusting to life with a job again. Cooking and cleaning, me time and things like that are hard for me to adjust.

I have had some health issues since that date as well.

I am looking for a new family doctor as I know I need a physical. I have my OB and gastroentinologist as well as my orthopedic surgeon for my specific ailments but I need a good family doc. I am not keen on my current doc and want to get my health in order.

Last weekend I spent camping with 11 girl scouts. For the most part it was a good time. The leaders butt heads on a few things. Some of the girls are higher maintenance than others but I survived. It wasn't my idea of camping. I missed my husband. I have learned in the last several months how much I really do love him. He is such a blessing in my life.

I really enjoy camping but when I camp with my husband he just knows what I need and I just know what he needs. As I was setting up camp with the scouts, I just felt like something was missing. It was him. As I was doing all these tasks and wondering why it all seemed so different.

I am not making excuses. I am just explaining my absence. I am still committed to a healthy lifestyle. There have just been a lot of changes in my life recently and to make this a permanent change it needs to take time.

    Good job being a positive influence on the Girl Scouts. The very best thing we can do is be of service to others. Kudos

    Aw, how sweet that you missed your better half!

Praying that the adjustment will come sooner rather than later, and that you'll get a really good doctor.

    I know what you mean about being only half of a team. When Scott and I do things together, we just know who does what and who needs what from the other at specific times. That's part of the reason I wasn't looking forward to my SS and his GF joining us this weekend - Civil War camping is exhausting for Scott (he the second in command of the Union forces and so does a TON of work all day). I like being able to cater to him - have breakfast ready when he walks over for it, cup of coffee ready to drink. And then I take his lunch over to his camp while he is out on the battlefield so there is a cold glass of lemonade and lunch ready when he returns. He knows I like time alone with him, so he doesn't insist on visiting everyone, instead going for a walk in the evening with me to talk over our days. And when we tear down the camp he knows when to come over and help me (I can't move my cast iron stove, and I can't take down the fly and the wall tent on my own). We are a team, and we work best as a team. If I had to do it alone it would be terrible. And if there was a third (or fourth!) person, that would be a mess, too!

Next time you camp, just go with him alone!

Good luck finding a new doc. That makes all the difference in the world!
