Weekends

I’m realizing that I need a new approach to weekends. During the week I’ve got a nice routine with food, vitamins and meds… but on the weekend, I’m totally off schedule!

I haven’t been sleeping well this week, so I slept in until 9 this morning. I’m usually up around 7 to take my first dose of ursodiol, so I was 2 hours late for that, which then throws off the next 2 doses for the day. And I didn’t eat breakfast until almost 11, so now my food schedule is off for the day, too! And don’t get me started on my water… it’s 2pm, and I’ve had a grand total of about 8 ounces for the day!

There’s a part of me that really HATES being on a schedule and always has. But there’s another part of me that LOVES being on a schedule! Today is obviously a no schedule day, which isn’t working out so well. Being on a schedule takes the guesswork out of things. I don’t have to make decisions about what to do… I just follow the schedule! I’m feeling like the part of me that LOVES being on a schedule is starting to make some headway in the battle, because when I’m on track with food, water, vitamins, meds and exercise, i FEEL BETTER! Being on a schedule always made me feel like I couldn’t do what I want… but I’m starting to think that being on  a schedule really IS what I want!

So now I’m going to go drink some water and make a plan for my food and exercise for the week so I can make sure I have everything I need.

Turns out being on a schedule really isn’t such a bad thing!

Oh, and those 2 lbs from yesterday… .8 gone today, 1.2 to go!
