I think I can honestly say I feel better now compared to the start of the year. That's true for both my physical and mental state. I've also just changed doctors and had my initial check-ups with them. I'm working on completing the tests. My new doctors said I'm stable and that's our goal. Be stable and gain more stamina.
So, let's take a look on how I progressed with my wellness goals this year...
Of course, everyday.
2. Be grateful and be grateful for others.
Always. It's where I gain strength from.
3. Eat well and eat more nutritious food.
I was doing well early this year, but I slipped when Mom passed away. I turned to food to cope. My cholesterol is now borderline high. Have gone back to just eating fish/chicken. I also need to eat food that would provide me with more vitamin D.
4. Lose more weight.
The scale finally started to move down last summer. I've also been weighing myself everyday to make sure I'm not retaining fluid.
5. Complete daily exercises and increase exercise capacity (and try to go out more).
It's been touch and go for me, but I'm back to gardening several times a week and doing stretches every morning. I plan to see an orthopedic doctor to have my back checked.
6. Follow doctors orders and do the tests
Started seeing new doctors in June. It was quite hard to find good ones. Glad we found a good set connected to the ones recommended by friends. Thank you guardian angels!
7. Drink meds on time.
To be able to do this I need to solve my sleep issues. I'm able to drink my meds at the same time everyday, but I hope to start the regime earlier.
8. Re-start meditation.
Not started.
9. Solidify coping mechanims.
I think I'm better now compared to the past few months. I have improved a lot, but I know I still need to work on me.
10. Less social media.
I've been able to lessen my time on social media. I've started reading books again. So much time is spent waiting at doctors offices, doing tests and PT. I'm putting that time to good use by reading a book. Saves phone batter and internet too, haha.
Score: 7/10 (gave some goals 0.5 points only)
I was afraid I didn't do well with my wellness goals! I guess I prioritized this over my craft goals, which I appropriately should! I still need to work on me so I can create more happy memories with my boys :)
