The one thing I have tired to remember through my life is what Grandpa Todd always tired to teach me. P&C - patients and control. I need to practice that more then ever. Last night I tried to sleep on my side and that lasted for about 2 seconds. I have been sleeping good but I get stiff sleeping on my back. But like Grandpa Todd has always said to me - P&C.
Small things are starting to happen. I can now get out of bed on my own. I can get up from the couch on my own. Because its been really hot I need to drink more water. So instead of drinking every 15 minutes - I am drinking every 10 minutes. The last 2 days I didn't do good on my drinking so I thought if I can tolerate every 10 minutes I will do better.
Goal for today is to walk 3 times for 5 minutes. Because it is hot out - I don't want to do to much. Plus that gas pain really hurts when I walk - but I know its the best thing for me.
Becky...you sound so good. I am glad you are doing well in both your body and your mind. You are an amazing young woman and you are on the path to regaining your "power". Congratulations!!! You have a bright future ahead of you. Great Job!

Your grandpa was a smart man! P and C...practicing patience can be hard sometimes - especially since we're all so used to the immediacy of everything around us. I took a bit of something from the book of "Becky". I noticed that you could only eat the yogurt REALLY slowly yesterday. So, today I had a bit of yogurt before I worked out, had some with breakfast, and finished the rest off in a mid-morning snack. It was filling enough, and I took it slowly. What more will I learn from you my dear? Keep posting - I love reading up on how you're coming along on this new path of your life!
