#029. Take all prescribed medication daily for 90 days
Goal Attempt #1
Started: January 18th, 2011.
Ended: February 18th, 2011.
Day 5: I have been taking 75mg of Effexor daily. I need to call to get it refilled before my next appt, then I plan to bring in all my pills and show her what I have, and have her adjust my dose and advise me accordingly. This appointment is on February 14th. At that time I will likely be prescribed a BF friendly beta blocker that I was supposed to have started in freaking July. Stupid me. No, not stupid, stop doing that brain.
I just need to do better that is all. Try harder this time. For serious.
Day 19: Doing well, just having trouble remembering to take it at the same time every day, but haven't missed any days!
Reflections: After missing a couple of days, I decided to reword this goal instead of calling it failed. I reworded it to make it every day for 90 days instead of every day no matter what. Sometimes things will happen and it won't work, but considering myself a failure is not moving my forward anywhere so I'll adapt.
Goal Attempt #2
Goal Started: March 24th, 2011.
Goal Ending: June 21st, 2011.
My revised plan:
Take my medication every morning at 0730am before leaving for school. If I forget it, then take it as soon as I get home.
