Hello Saturday ☕️🇺🇸

 

Welcome to Hello Saturday ☕️

Here we just chat about the week. I hope your week went well. 

I set my intention for August to eat better and start a walking program. Since last November (2019) I have followed The Galveston Diet. It’s not a fad diet. It’s a lifestyle change for women over 50. Who are sick and tired of those hot flashes. Like ME. It’s not a keto diet either. It was developed by a woman doctor for women in menopause. Perfect. And Easy! Perfect - I need that in my life as well. I recommend checking it out. End those hot flashes by implementing simple steps into your life. 🙌🏻 If you start the diet let me know what you think. 

I also started walking this week. I haven’t walked since 🤔 I’m not sure. I’m talking a walk that increases your heart rate not a leisurely stroll down the road. My first attempt got me 3 blocks from home before the symptoms of my concussion kicked in and 45 min in bed until the symptoms were gone. My second attempt- I decided to test the symptoms how bad is bad. Do they get worse if I keep walking? So I kept walking. They didn’t get worse. They were still tolerable. So I walked a mile and then found I was down longer until the symptoms left. I did this one more time this week. So... part of me wonders if this didn’t effect my work day. So much so that by weeks end I was too sick to do anything else. Today I am still recovering from the week. 

I decided to reach out to a concussion specialist clinic, The Foundation Neurology, this week. I set up a consultation appointment. You might be wondering why didn’t I do that sooner? Well because everyday with a concussion different. Some days I am great. Why call for help. And I am a horrible patient. 🙄 As much as I would like to think a positive mind or strong well will make it all better - it doesn’t. In this case nothing changes a brain injury. 

Today I’m hoping to rest and relax at home. We share see. My husband’s big on lists. 🙄

I wish you the very best today.
