I’m sitting hear reflecting on some “Strange Things.” I realized that I haven’t been inside a Walmart all year long. I don’t miss going inside nor do I have a strong desire to go but it’s crazy to me to not have been yet. I wonder if anything has changed.
I have yet to go to sleep at a decent hour and wake up at a decent hour in a seven day consecutive period. Currently I’m averaging a bedtime of 3AM and a grand rising of 8AM. I guess 5 hours of sleep is not too bad. Most days I feel well rested. Earlier in the year I used to worry about this but not anymore. I’ve been told by another amputee that irregular sleep patterns are normal for amputees. Whether that’s true or not, that’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
I’ve eaten more junk food in the past 8 months than I have the previous 16 months before 2021. I’ve had several weeks where I said, “I’m going to start eating right Monday.” If Monday made it to me I was back to my old ways by Tuesday….lol. I’ve gained 70 pounds since I came home from rehab. Wow. Didn’t realized I put on that much weight until I typed it. In actuality it’s only a net gain of 30 pounds. I was about 220 pounds before the accident and 183 when I came home from rehab. I’ve been more disciplined about when I eat this week. I started doing intermittent fasting again. I used this to lose 65 pounds along with some other things back in 2019. Hoping to achieve similar success. Ideally I’d like to be around 200 pounds. I feel like that’s a good weight for some of the athletic goals I’m setting for myself.
I’ve only been on my front porch maybe six times all year. Not one time have I sat in one of the chairs on the porch though. I’ve only cut my grass three times and I haven’t done anything to my flower beds or shrubs. Totally not like me. And finally, this will be the first year of my life since 3rd grade that i haven’t rode on a bus. That’s like 36 years ago..lol. Oh yeah. I haven’t washed a car yet either.
Welp it’s getting close to 3AM on this early Friday morning. Let me try to get some ZZZZzzzzzz’s.
Until Next Time...
