Update and Goals part 2.


Goals:
So I weighed myself the other day and I weighed in at 165 lbs!! This being said I must lose at least 50 lbs to be a normal weight. My goal then is by the summer to lose that 50 and by March I'm hoping to have lost 25lbs. I am also keeping a record of how I feel and what I've done as exercise. Below at the end of the post is the image of what I'm doing.
I will try to keep up with this or at least try to keep up with working out. Tonight is my rest night though as I didn't get much sleep last night for the stressful day ahead today.

Update on Mom:
This past week has been a bit stressful for me. I saw my mother for the first time in 3 years physically rather than just speaking with her on the phone. We had a hearing with a review board about her well being today, Wednesday Dec 19th, and I was able to speak with the doctor before hand. He was very confident and sure that she needed to stay in hospital longer for further monitored treatment as she refuses now to take medication saying she is ok. She is apparently very pleasant overall when on medication but when off she is very very ill. I agree with him fully. I now know she is in capable hands and I feel better now that this hearing has taken place.

Though she was happy to see me she initially did not want me to participate and kept repeating what I had told her as to why I was there, "for support". It is not far from the truth, I was there for support on all parties and to ensure that she continues to get treatment. She is very confident that she is going to get out this weekend though. She really wants out of the hospital. I am sure though that the doctors will make the right decision.

When I saw her, I was a little shocked at how she looked. She looks much much older than 58 years of age. She looks older than my dad even who is 61. She looks older than my grandmother who is 73. This is possibly due to smoking so much over the years. She looked frail and smaller than she used to. Almost mousy. She even felt smaller when she hugged me which was a true loving hug. I did feel bad leaving her there at first but it needs to be done and the doctors strongly feel that she should even get an injection as medication because she can't be trusted not to go off it. I will know a decision officially tomorrow when and if they make me the decision maker. I know she won't like it though and she may be quite upset but it is for the best.

Holidays:
So without further ado I would like to wish my readers a happy Holiday season no matter what you celebrate! :) Remember to keep to your fitness goals as best you can and don't over stuff on the turkey and treats! ;) I'll keep you posted next week after everything is over and of course bringing in the New year! So Happy 2013 if I happen to miss next week also. :) I'm pretty sure this Friday the world is not going to end ;)
