A little better
Well, this week so far is a little better. Last night, I did 20 minutes of Wii Fit Plus Free Run and then 30 minutes of Wii Walk It Out. The night before, I did 30 minutes of Wii Fit Plus Free Run. I only got the to the Y once this week. I haven't been sleeping well (tossing and turning, thinking about work.) I was going to go to the Y this morning but we got 2 inches of snow and did not feel like shoveling my way out the door. So I will go tomorrow. I have my bowling league tonight. So my steps and exercise is better this week than it has been in about 2 months. Needs some improvement, but I am headed in the right direction.
Food is better, but that is not saying much. I did eat chocolate ice cream last night. I need a big reduction in carbs. But improvement is the right direction, so I am going to just keep going and try to make each day a little better than the one before. I have been taking my vitamins again this week, so that is also an improvement. (You may remember I have a severe Vitamin D deficiency.)
Thank God! I only got 1 new fire this week (so far.) Praying for a few more weeks of this. Got a few barkers done, which helps. Going to keep trying to squeeze in some OT and get cleaned up.
2011 focus: this year I am going to focus on getting back to me! Better eating, losing weight, reaching my goals, focus on getting happier, de-clutter my life and my house. Better exercise, feeling better. Also, doing more things that are important to me, like getting in more reading time and time to play Wii or whatever (more leisure and enjoying life.) By doing this and getting back on track with my reading re: panic attacks, I am hoping to get back to "normal." I still sometimes feel the anxiety kick in and I feel the changes happen in my body (shortness of breath, dizzy spells, heart racing.) So far, it has been not often and not as debilitating as it was this past summer/Fall. But I really want this to go away. I used to go on any kind of amusement park ride. Now, I even think about going on some of them and I feel a panic attack come on. I need to get past these internal fears I have.

Great job Yvette!!! I need to get that Wii Walk It Out ~ I think Jimmy and I would have a blast with that. Do you need the balance board for that??? Glad your working on your foods, it takes time but your making progress. Hope you get some work breaks with no fires! I am with ya on the 2011 focus plan!!! U can do this and I\'m there all the way with ya!!!!
No balance board. Just remote and nunchuck. (you put the nunchuck in your pocket and it acts like a pedometer and measures your steps.) Amazon.com used to have a video for it on their web site so you can see how it works. It is getting difficult to find and you may only be able to get it on the web, like Amazon.con. It is a great mood booster on dreary cold days!
Thanks! I am with you too! We can do this!
Glad to hear things are well! A new year and a fresh new start! 2011 sounds like it\'s going to be your year. YOU CAN DO THIS! You are worth it! Whoo-hoo!
It looks like this will be your year! I hope you accomplish all you goals.
I goggled vitamin D deficiency and panic attacks...it seems there might be a connection. I will send a msg with link.
Have a great weekend..get a doggie kiss for me! I sure do miss the doggie kisses.
@ FunFrog: Thanks! Right now, I am confident. Maybe more confident than I have been in a long time.
@ Joyce: Thanks! I am going to look for it. That could make a big difference. Kona\'s doggie kisses are the absolutely the best. She is such a doll baby! She really brings such joy to my life.
I hope you meet all your goals this year.
