Hi Ellie, thanks...yes, this is a plan "start" anyway... so here's my thought... Dr: I have to call today anyway to request some info sent to insurance for diabetes stuff, so will ask for this. I did have an appt scheduled about a month ago that I had to cancel, and the re-sched. couldnt be done till sept...
Finances: I will get the book this week; I have "money makeover" by ramsey...and listen to him on the radio often. I didnt get a whole lot new out of that book other than the debt snowball idea and that I didnt do our budget down to the penney and probably should have. Are there other books he's done?
diet: I absolutely don't seem to be able to do carbs, no matter what weight watchers or anyone else says, including the hospital dietician. I gain like a balloon. I started back on atkins last weekend, have a nice purple keto stick. scale may have dropped a bit, maybe 4 lbs. which considering I didnt eat for 3 and 1/2 days, doesnt seem like much. I've gotten back on the damn treadmill. I had tried atkins years ago, with some luck, but I got the info from the original book which I had a hard time following, but now have more (clearer) info from the web. I understand it better, plus have enough knowledge to shift to lower/good fat proteins. so we'll see. I just need instant results (sigh). FWIW, I did lose after the original bomb, about 40 pounds in probably 2.5 months. have kept off 1/2 of it.... Household: I subscribe to flylady, have been doing it for 6 months, incorporating it in babysteps...and it has helped. I've seen the "body clutter" book and journal, thought of ordering it, maybe i will do that today. No matter what, it all comes down to I could use more hours in the day and more hands on deck. When I said the house was a mess the other day, I guess part of what I meant was it's just "blah" when compared to what i want...there is an issue with clutter in the basement and bedrooms...working on bedrooms right now, we were doing the basement together before we went to get the kids last winter,got sidetracked & havent gotten back, which was one of H's beefs last week. my fault of course.... but we need paint and carpet replacement and shrubs trimmed and leaky faucets fixed...and he aint gonna do it, guess I need to try to find money to hire it done...that will have to wait, though.
Get out of house: havent done it. need to. need to think about how to do this. period
