update about me
Since my pancreatitis episodes and abcess and central line and infuzions, and a month in the hospital, I am finally better. I lost a lot of weight. I am working hard to lose more. down from about 180 to 160. trying so hard but cant get over that hump to the 150s. I stopped drinking soda altogether. Cant even remember last soda I had. I think probably december before I got sick. I dont eat red meat at all. I will eat chicken or fish. I am trying very hard to create new habits and fight old bad ones. I dont allow myself to eat out during the day. If Eric and I go out to dinner thats fine but no stops at fast food. either eat before I go or wait till I get home. but no crappy food. I also cant drink wine anymore. I cant eat high fat foods. either one could cause my pancreatitis to recur. and another stint in the hospital does not sound like fun to me. now if the weather would cooperate and the schedule gods would align so I could get some walking in every day. Our driveway is 1/3 mile long so down and back twice is 1 and 1/3 miles but I usually go down the highway and get about 3-5 miles in depending which way I go. considering a treadmill or elliptical machine. Since we redid the living room we left out some furniture so there would be room for one. I worry though about a treadmill because my little boys are so curious and kids can get really hurt on those. but I NEED to move. there has to be a balance. well since Sophie(queenie) has therapy today(OT/PT) and its ten already I better get us dressed and get some laundry done before we have to go.
