Goal Oriented
Hi everyone,
I didn’t gain or lose anything this week, so I guess I want a strong start on Monday.
I’ve been starting the morning with making the bed, taking meds, and doing my physical therapy exercises. I’ve got another physical therapy appointment on Tuesday and I want to show more improvement.
I got a nice foldable pedal exerciser this weekend and have been slowly increasing my time using it while I play video games or watch TV. If it comfortably fits beneath my desk (and it should) I’ll also use it while I’m at the laptop. The physical therapist had suggested I incorporate cycling or swimming, but this small pedaler fit my budget better.
I’m going to hit the store and pick up some fresh ingredients for a dinner that will last a few days in the fridge and serve as several meals. I want to try roasting eggplant for a pasta dish!
If I plan it all out I’ll have something decent ready to be reheated when I come home after my MRI on Thursday.
That’s pretty much it. I’m just continuing to try!

Hope your Monday way off to a great start!
Also, yay for the consistency!! You got this :)💜
Thanks!
You are doing awesome! @integrityblues
Thank you! I got off to a great start but ran out of energy late this afternoon. I’ll roast that eggplant tomorrow!
Roast eggplant sounds good. @integrityblues
I did end up roasting the eggplant for a spaghetti dish. It was good, but my sloppy cubing made it so some pieces were roasted better than others!
That always happens to me. I am so bad at cutting evenly. But I do enjoy cooking.
Listen, if I am a little less on top of my responses for the next few days, don't worry or think there is something wrong. I am going to my niece's graduation in Ohio. But I usually do get on 7 Cups at the end of the day anyway, so I may also be on after all. @integrityblues
That’s okay, bestVase. Enjoy the graduation!
I am glad to finally say that I am back! I apologize for missing so much. This is the first time in about 8 years of getting on 7 Cups that I have missed more than 2 nights in a row, I think. But trying to simultaneously grade like a madwoman and be on "vacation" was a bit too much for anything else.
The grading will continue for at least another week and a half, but we are now back home so I can get more done. The graduation went fine and we had a good opportunity to use a little bit of time to explore a national park and get out on Lake Erie. Lots and lots of walking that I didn't think I could do, but I did. It was also nice to see family.
That’s great, bestVase!
Please continue grading and take breaks.
I hope that things are going well with you. @integrityblues
Oh, just basic stress and annoyances for now. I’ve been getting lots of headaches and I think it’s from stress and not drinking enough water.
Drinking enough water is a challenge for me too! May we remember more and our bladders not fill too much! @integrityblues
How are things going?
