Well, itās been 6 days since Iāve wrote. Iād be upset with myself, but I know itās not that serious.
Iāve been surprisingly busy and not as depressed as I thought Iād be. Vitamin D and Jesus help that.
Iāve barely left the house in the past week. Last Friday, I got Mediterranean food with my family minus my sister. Then, a good friend and I went to a womenās event at our church. It was refreshing. Not good for my foot though, as standing and sitting normally make it sore. We both decided to start doing theĀ āBible in a yearā class our church is offering. I just received mine in the mail. Itās beautiful. I know doing this will be great for my relationship with the Lord.Ā
Saturday I went to brunch with two college friends. We sat and talked for hours. This is something I realized I love doing. I love sitting and just talking with people, especially somewhere where thereās unlimited coffee, such as breakfast places. We caught up, reminisced, and discussed the future and potential plans.
Then, roll around to the hell that was Saturday night and Sunday. I got viciously nauseous Saturday night. Next thing I knew, at 1AM into Sunday I was vomitting up everything I ate the previous day. Sunday was spent barely being able to keep my eyes open and moreover move. It was thankfully a 24 hour virus as I felt almost normal the next day. Still pretty nauseous yesterday. Thankfully my foot has been great, or else that would have been much more uncomfortable.
I also started another period yesterday. Third one, 32 day cycle. Itās heavy as can be, too, almost to the point where I wonder if itās normal. Thank goodness I finally made an OBGYN appointment that is tomorrow. Iām meeting with an NP which is also kind of cool. I havenāt been to an OBGYN since I was 18 or 19... yikes.
I also have my fourth post-op appointment tomorrow. Iām praying to be put into a shoe and to be cleared to go back to the gym. Iām visiting my boyfriend Sunday night and would like to go to the gym with him again. I miss weights and weight lifting. My at home non-weight bearing pilate-type workouts are getting a bit hold. Theyāre tough as can be, and I know I am getting stronger with them, but itās not the same. I was made for the barbell and weights. I have some basic goals for the next three months with fitness. Mostly to get my strength back to where it was, and improve my muscle tone. I also want to go to physical therapy for my foot and left leg. Eventually, Iāll get more specific with my goals as the year goes on and my leg/foot recovers. I feel like this break from the gym will definitely make me hungry to be focused and dedicated to the gym.
However, I donāt want the gym to be central. My main goal in life in general is to get closer to the Lord. But, I know that can resonate to all areas of life. And I know it wonāt always be pretty or perfect. It takes conscious effort and a lot of time, sacrifice. I donāt want to sacrifice my time with the Lord for the gym, or prepping my food. Therefore, I need to manage my time better.Ā
Iād like to write tomorrow. Mostly because I have so much to say. Iām catching up on a lot of school reading today, and practicing my physical assessment. I also cleaned my room for the first time since surgery. It felt nice to do so. I plan on working out today, too.
Hopefully Iāll write tomorrow.
