Last week I was able to exercise 5 days:
August 17 - 23
Sunday ---------------------------------
Monday ------ pedalled 15 minutes
Tuesday ---------------------------------
Wednesday --- pedalled 17 minutes
Thursday ----- pedalled 17 minutes
Friday -------- pedalled 20 minutes
Saturday ----- pedalled 20 minutes
I reached my minimum goal of exercising at least 5 days a week and exceeded my goal of exercising 15 minutes at a time.
I just hope that I can keep it up and build up my strength. I’ve had quite a bit of pain this week and I’ve really let my mom down by not being able to do any housework. I hate seeing her do the dishes and the laundry knowing she’s in so much pain, and I really want to help her so her pain doesn’t get worse from everything she does.
On top of all the laundry and dishes my mom was actually going to cook today. I know she likes a home-cooked meal and so do I, but I hate seeing her take on so much because it only makes her suffer. She was even going to go to the grocery store to pick up more ingredients! Instead I offered to order food from a restaurant and had it delivered. I think I made the right choice because my mom was so exhausted. I don't think they really loved their meals, but it looks like they were still enjoying them, and my mom did appreciate it. I hope she knows that even though I can't often help around the house I am still trying to do what I can - and sometimes all I can do is offer to pay for things.
As for my original goal to stop drinking Coke, I'm going to have to renew my vow because I started drinking it again pretty regularly. I did manage to go 7 days without drinking it, but on my really bad pain days I broke down and had some.
That's it for now. I hope I can keep up the good work and I really hope this will be a better week with less pain.
