Yesterday I was feeling very much under the weather, my cold decided to come back and linger a bit longer. I spent most of the day sleeping and resting. After I woke up I reevaluated my diet and method of tracking. I decided againist doing weight watchers . I decided that it was just to much to do with pku as my formula takes up most of the allowed points. I thought about it and I talked about it with a great friend. I decided that I was going to stick to what I know and track my phe in my note book and with my pku bible the food list, as well as my calories. I have my goal range of 500 mg phe and 1800 calories and with the support of my dietitians, family, friends and amanda I should be able to do it. I just have to stick to it and keep consistent. SO i made my plan, set up my note book and have it on the living room coffee table so i have to see it every time i sit down. I think I did fairly well yesterday and increased my vegtables servings. I also have been working on my water intake. I ended my day with a relaxing vanilla bubble bath to unwind and relax my muscles to help me sleep.
Feeling a bit better today. However I had horrible night mares that lingered with me all day and left me super sensitive and emotional. Got some air and went for a walk this morning. we walked together to and from the grocery store. in all took about 50 mins. It was about minus 4 degrees out. I started off the day with fruit loops and almond silk milk , my bananas where not ripe yet however so didnt get to put them in my cereal. Lunch I was still feeling unwell with a really bad headache and very chilled from the walk so I had hot tomatoe soup and crackers. Dinner I had yams, scheswan beans, salad and applesauce. Today was the first full day of tracking and drinking 1 scoop p.ade and 1 scoop mte 3 times a day instead of 2 scoops p.ade 3 times a day. When I was drinking that amount of formula i was geting 314 calories each time but I was full!! tonight my calories are cut in half but i am starving!! i am trying soooo hard not to snack. I have had my food limit today and I just keep telling myself it is worth it and i will adjust to the diffrence it will just take a while. This is where my will power will come into play.
So we are now unwinding watching a movie with a warm fire and I am having tea and cole is having a hot chocolate. Tomorrow Id like to get out and maybe go for a walk or go to the westsyde gym i am hoping it wont be as busy, but with it being the fist week of the new year i am expecting all the gyms to be packed. I am hoping because westysde is alot smaller that I might have better luck.
I have not warn my sling today, it pulls to much on my neck and really hurts. I am also not taking anything any more for my neck. I think the stronger dose of mortin was contributing to my headaches. Today I have been focusing on increasing my water intake and keeping hydrated.
Tomorrow my goal is to do some sort of activity for 30 mins even if its just around the house on my wii fit or dvds, stretching, yoga or another walk.
i hope to make daily goals and weekly goals. every day is a fresh start and a new beginning. A chance to do what I had not done the day before.
So that is all for tonight, my show once a pon a time is on!
untill next time,
