When it's time to change

I cannot believe I'm referencing the source I am about to reference, but here goes.

Well its time to change
When its time to change
Move by the time come along for the ride, don't you see
When its time to change you've got to rearrange
Move your heart to what your gonna be.
from "Time to Change" by The Brady Bunch

I'm done with things being the way they have always been.  I'm tired of accepting things just because I'm too lazy to change them.  So here are the new "rules/goals" as of tonight.

  1. End each night with a list to do for the next day.
  2. Start my day by 8:30 and end it NO LATER than 10:30 (unless special circumstances apply).
  3. Learn to delegate responsibilities for MOPS and 3 to 1 and NOT feel badly to do so.
  4. Take greater responsibility for Kamden and stop taking advantage of living with my parents.
  5. Start drinking more water.
  6. Regularly wear my insulin pump and manage my diabetes.
  7. Stop comparing my successes (or failures for that matter) to others.
  8. Create and manage a successful family budget.
  9. Start a regular work out regularly and change eating habits to successfully see a weight loss monthly of around 8 lbs.  
  10. Lose 65 lbs by the end of the year.
  11. Accept myself for who and what I am and be content and happy with who and what that is.

The Best and Worst Night Ever

Image
We left for our church's annual Memorial Day cookout around 5:30 on Sunday afternoon, May 29th.  I was having a few strange pains when we got there, but it was over 100 degrees so I thought that I was possibly getting dehydrated again since I'd just gotten out of the hospital late the night before.  We spent about an hour there before I told Jeff that I just didn't feel well and thought we should go home.  I was continuing to have the pains, however now going to the bathroom wasn't helping them get any better. We got home around 7:30 and I drank some water and laid on my left side.  That way, if I were having false labor, the contractions would stop, and hopefully I'd curb any dehydration that was starting on me again.  Laying down helped things for about an hour and a half.  Around 9:15, I told Jeff I thought we ought to call Dr. S., just in case he wanted me to be observed or something.  After talking with him, we decided to force fluids and wait o...

I Blame Wisconsin

Image
Okay, being that I haven't lived in Wisconsin in over 3 years, I can't really say that I can place blame there.  I got a letter from my primary care doctor's office this week and was told that my bad cholesterol is high.  I am doing my best to not beat myself up but to not foo foo it away as nothing.  I only need to bring it down about 20 points, so I know it could be way worse.  I know that the first thing everyone thinks of is fatty foods, dairy overload or something similar but after reading up on it, I found out that stress can cause it to rise too.  Apparently when highly stressed, the body doesn't break down foods as well and can cause cholesterol issues. So, in addition to changes in my diet, I'm going to attempt to "de-stress" my life. I know that being stress free is impossible as there are both good and bad stressors we face daily, but there are things I can change to make things less stressful for me. Things like: Asking for help Gett...
