The kids accident has put everlasting memories on all of us. After we regained our sanity, we can now have a conversation without tears,. However, I am drowning in medical bills. Aftern numerous phone calls, calling and calling and sitting on hold, I am now a firm believer of getting everyone in shape and staying that way.
Keeping the doctors visits down to a bare minimum will save us money, and we will live healthier and longer lives. Although the medical bills are from an accident, I am seriously looking at my health, and everyone else's health (kids, husband) differently. Now, don't get me wrong. That doesn't mean I am running out and getting a physical, mammogram and everything else that's required at my age. It means I am faithfully exercising daily, watching what we eat more than ever, and drinking more water than juice and pop.
Then, just maybe, after I lose weight and get in shape, will I consider getting my physical. Maybe.
After I challenged myself to 30 days of walking for at least 10 minutes a day, I lost 2 pounds. I missed one day and the other days were anywhere up to 20 minutes of walking. Now, I am up to 30 minutes and some days, I walk 1 hour. I feel better, but I have a loooooong ways to go.
I'm getting a lot of reading done on the treadmill these days, but I should have invested in a Large Print Bible. I could be reading my daily reading while walking too. I've influenced the kids too. I know have to fight for the treadmill. They come toting books and invade my room for hours. At least they are staying fit.
Now....if I could just stop eating Milk Duds while I sit and read my Bible.....and whoever said prunes were tasty must have been sleep deprived.
