My First goal is to set and stick to a graded exercise program. For those that don't know what that means, it is an exercise program that starts with almost no exercise and very very gradually leads up to more. For the first week, I am going to stretch for 5 minutes 3 times a day. When this week is over, I will plan the next week depending on how I am doing.

My Second goal is to set and stick to a sleep schedule. I am supposed to try to sleep at only these times no matter how tired I am. If I find I am too tired to stay awake with this schedule then I need to plan more time for sleep. I am more tired around 12 than I am any other time so that's when I'm going to take my nap.

My third goal is to set and stick to a specific diet of no sugar, little gluten, and and no processed foods. This one shouldn't be too hard since I am eating pretty healthy already.

The first thing that I want to do is to be able to go to church again. I often make it to Sacrament Meeting, but I crash after that and have to go home. I think one of the problems is that our church is from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm. That's right during the time when I feel the worst and am the most tired during the day. We go to a married student ward, and I'm wondering if we should switch to the family ward so that we can go to church before I get tired. We love our ward and don't want to switch, and the switch might not make it any better anyways. Even on days when I'm feeling great just sitting through sacrament meeting wipes me out and I still have to go home afterwards. Any ideas that might help me with this?
Liz this is awesome! I'm so proud of you, I need to do something like this for my exercise, I'm practically doing nothing now. You can do this! -Lex
ReplyDeleteGood goals! I'm proud of you, Lizzy! Also, Mikey and I attend a family ward and we love it. I'd say try it out, if it doesn't work for you, you can always return to your other ward. Keep up the good work. Don't forget, we're all rooting for you!
