Meals. I just realized I only had one meal today. Ooooops.
4oz carne asada, nopales, beans, and 2 corn tortillas. Guacamole. Tortilla chips. Salsa. Flan.
One big meal. I was busy in the morning with meetings. Then I went to lunch and went to see the acupuncturist. This is not the norm for me. It was that type of day.
Keep going!
Breakfast:
Oatmeal, chia Seeds, almonds, dried cherries and 1/4 packet of splenda.
Lunch:
Kale, raisins,avocado, dried garbanzo with a vinaigrette.
Dinner:
Bk chicken sandwich, fries and Dr pepper.
Almost made the day! It was a gross meal but after attempting to make dinner and getting dizzy halfway through. I stopped and was okay with whatever landed.
I start again with my next meal. I remind myself those foods do not nurture or satisfy me. I deserve and want better.
Today was a tough day. This week was a tough week. This month was a tough month. The last season was a tough season. It is like my vertigo... circle after big circle filled with sensations of spinning. And even so...it is all good because even though my vertigo continues to be at on all time high. Life is good.
I've gone to 4 Dr. Visits in the last month. Today's visit was a lab results review. I was expecting them to tell me I needed diabetes meds, blood pressure meds, cholesterol... the works!
Instead...I'm told they are better than before.
Great! So the dizzys are just going to have a different cause....the fear of illness coming back diminished.
Now I sit patiently... for resolution. I'm getting through this one way or another.
I remain coachable to life's lessons.
I created the #kikiworksphotochallenge in order to get back on track. I invisioned people posting pics that would help motivate and inspire. I stated it was a movement of solidarity to get me back on track. I viewed it as my way of digging me out of an old pattern I saw brewing.
People joined...some held on and by day 13 there was only me. ME. The source of my journey. The source of my growth. The old me would be upset because they left me hanging. The new me understands everyone is doing there best in life. The new me also finds it perfect.
Why? It was the 13th day of the #kikiworksphotochallenge my lucky number; a guide of sorts that it all happens a certain way for a reason. To shed light on the obvious. It is up to me and only me to make the change. To take ownership of my journey. Which alighned with the plans and convos I had yesterday.
Yesterday Eden from befreeology.com came over for an in home meal consultation. She did a pantry check, I passed, and we talked frig talk. We got to the nitty gritty and I openly discussed my bad and good eating habits. We set up a grocery list and I stocked my new frig with nothing but good foods.
The 14 day workout plan I created 2 weeks ago, was of course, a bit much for me. I gave my workout weeks the best I could. I fell short of my weekly goals. So I also created a more realistic goal for the next two weeks with Eden yesterday.
-->3 days on the stationary bike for at least 5 miles and 2 sets of resistance bands circuits.
--> 4 sessions of yoga (@ least 20 min each)
-->1 callenetics session (i added this today)
I will stick to the 14 day model for now.
I'm heading out to a party today. Pushing myself out the door because it is important I stay connected. My attitude about food is different and I will be practicing concious eating again.
I thank you for reading my journey. I wish you much joy in all you do. Have a wonderful Sunday beautiful.
Vertigo had me on the fence. I never know what to expect or how the day will go. I sat on the couch for a couple weeks each day trying to do a little more. Then there were days I would get upset because I could not follow the scheduled routine.
