Weekly Goals:
1. Exercise 3 times this week
2. Write 5 things I like about myself each night in my journal
I'm keeping things simple this week. Simplicity = Success
Sunday, November 9th:
Food---
Breakfast: none
Lunch: hot chocolate and toast
Dinner: a little bit of spaghetti, half of a banana
Snack: warm, homemade tapioca pudding
***My stomach has been acting up (from my gastroparesis). I may have to go on a liquid, then soft, food diet again. No fun.
Exercise---
Nope. But, I did get a nice rest in! I love Sunday naps.
Sunday, November 10th:
Food---
Breakfast: cereal
Lunch: granola bar, lunch meat, bread
Dinner: BLT
Dessert: shared a coke and churro with Dan
*** My stomach is still way sick and guess what. Went and got my medicine....$200 bucks. No joke. That made my stomach even worse.
Exercise---Yes, but it was very unconventional. I walked around Costco with Dan for seriously an hour. We went up and down every single isle. I wasn't planning on that being my exercise, but since we didn't get home until 8:00, that ended up being it! Ha!
So today I indulged in some flavor and tomorrow I will be too. It's Dan's birthday and I know I will at least be having cake. But, I am not going to feel bad about it. I'll just try to be more active. This week I want to focus more on my internal health than anything. That way I can find the motivation and such I need and stop being so frustrated.S
Tuesday, November 11th: Happy Birthday, Dan!!!
Food---
Breakfast: multi-grain cheerios
Lunch: string cheese, yogurt, whole wheat ritz crackers
Dinner: Rudy's BBQ. Sooooo good. Plus a little bit of birthday cake.
Exercise---
Just a few stretches, sit-ups, etc. My stomach was sick this morning, but I am actually feeling better tonight.
Wednesday, November 12th:
Food---
Breakfast: um, bad breakfast---just a few crackers
Lunch: string cheese, whole wheat crackers
Dinner: chicken and dumpling soup, asparagus, and peaches
Exercise---
Yup. Kate and I went for an hour walk today. Then I cleaned (scrubbed, scrubbed, scrubbed) our two bathrooms. I am also feeling much better emotionally today. I am in a better place and feel more motivated. I, however, am still having trouble with my stomach (hence the crackers in the morning and afternoon). But my energy is much better than last week as well.
Thursday, November 13th:
Food---
Breakfast: multi-grain cheerios
Lunch: pb/h sammy and half a string cheese
Dinner: pizza and a little bit of Dr. Pepper (Dan "made" dinner from Papa Johns)
Exercise---
Yes, I did ball exercises and weights. I haven't done that for a long time. We'll see if I am sore tomorrow. :)

Simplicity is good. Life should be more simple. I think we complicate it for ourselves a lot of the time. Hope you have a great week!
Glad you are feeling better, but sorry your stomach problems are getting in the way of your progress. Since it is a chronic problem, try eating less and drinking some supplemented drinks and see if that helps. Then call Jan--she's at least good for empathy! Love ya!
$200 buck for medicine would make me sick too, but I'm glad you're feeling better. Keep up the good work. One of my friends has a motto I like:
Energy creates energy--keep moving!
I think you need more veggies. I know it is hard to work them in, but it seems like you're eating a lot of breads/crackers/carbs?
To those of you who don't know, Jen has gastroparesis. Vegetables and high fiber foods are the enemy to gastroparesis because they take so long to digest; and thus, stomach aches and nausea. So sometimes the things that are best for us make Jen sick. Just thought I would explain (sorry, Jen)
