Reality

This week has been another tough week and it's showing on the scale. My youngest son was diagnosed with Perthes, which is when part of the femoral head dies from lack of blood flow, and my stress has been through the roof. I don't know if it's from the stress or not, but I've developed a constant pain in the back of my right shoulder. I pulled up WebMD's iPad app this morning to see what it could be. I wish I hadn't done that.



According to WebMD, there are a lot of serious issues that start with the symptoms I have, including renal cell carcinoma. I'm not a hypochondriac but I don't need any kind of health issues of my own right now. After seeing all of that, I told myself to get off the damn couch and get busy. It's time I start taking care of myself so I can be around for my family.

I got up, put Zumba in the Wii, and went to town. It was difficult and I felt like a fool but I did it anyway (1 class = 20 mins). I've been very lax in my food choices lately too but it stops today. My family means more to me than a frappe or a brownie.

I'm planning on working out again this afternoon. Maybe I'll do some Wii Fit Plus or take a walk after dinner. Tonight's dinner isn't the healthiest but it's not the worst I've had either. Baby steps....
