Hi Guys and dolls,
I trust that everybody had a great Labor Day. Mine was quiet which is just how I like it. No BBQ aromas around the complex to haunt me. Seems everyone celebrated on Saturday or Sunday. Yea!
Tomorrow is weigh in day. I’m a little nervous but not overly so. I think I did reasonably well. I could improve on the number of days of exercise, but I’m proud of what I do when I do exercise. This morning I actually added some distance and found that I am walking allot faster because the time was very close to what I’ve done before. But I realize I really need to do something everyday barring major pain and injury. I didn’t walk yesterday and didn’t do any strength training on Sunday so I felt it today in my hip bones and back. Don’t like that. So gonna fix it as best I can anyway. (smile)
Tomorrow is also my first appointment with a new therapist. She was recommended by Richard, the behavioralist at sparrow weight Management. This I am very nervous about. I’ve been in therapy before with varying results. I never know how to get the whole thing off the ground. I always feel like I’m wining when I do this even though I know I could really use the help. When it was very crucial when I was younger, well I guess I could manage it even though it was ackward, but now that I’m older and things aren’t so acute, I just feel weird about the whole thing. It is a condition of getting clearance for surgery and like I said I still can use the help. Reminds me of years ago when I first read “the Courage to Heal” by ellen Bass and her co-author, Laura B. (can’t remember her last mane at the moment). They talked about how dealing with your issues is like peeling an onion. There’s just all these layers and even after you think you’ve got it handled, there’s still more stuff that comes up…another layer to peel. (heavy sigh) I experienced that in richard’s office. There we were talking and then all of a sudden…water works. Eeeep! I was so embarrassed. So much for calm, cool and collected. More like hysterical, hot and harried.
So, wish me luck tomorrow with the new Dr. Richard highly recommends her and thinks we’ll get along just peachy like. (heavy sigh) I hope so. I remember the reception I got from my very first therapist when I was about 22. Oh my God, can you say “oil and water”. More so on her part than mine cause I never knew why she didn’t like me, but it started the very first meeting. Must have been loathing at first sight. I’d speculate, but what’s the point.
Gotta go plan my food day for tomorrow, ya’ll. Peace and love.
