Changes – Lifestyle Results

A Time for Change

Since the beginning of this year, I made changes.

I prayed.  . “I said God, I need to walk and talk and be productive or I need to clean cabins in Glory.  Have mercy on me and make a change in my life.”

My faith was so weak, I presented the two choices. Following the prayer something bad happened. I thought my assignment may be to clean those cabins.

In November of 2019 I became very ill. I went to Urgent Care described my feelings and gave a suggestion for my health.  The NP disagreed, ordered a cat scan, antibiotics and a follow up visit in 3 days…..(Interesting Christ arose on the third day)

After 3 days, I felt better and kept my appointment and told her what I needed next.  She disagreed, prescribed more antibiotics, a bland diet, no stress and several visits to other doctors.  In addition to the other Doctors, she wanted me to return in 3 weeks for a follow up cat scan.  Now,  visits to other Doctors definitely were not on my radar.

I did go for the second cat scan. The results were much improved.

The last week of December I returned to the NP. She shared her suggestions…none were acceptable. I asked for physical therapy to enable me to move, walk and stand better. She wrote a prescription.

Results

I was blessed to choose the best Therapist ever.  Twice each week for 6 weeks I went for a treatment. We documented my progress. Improvement is in the 70 percent range!

For Lifestyle ChangeIt is so exciting to share these results with you.  Why did it take so long to discover this route?  I don’t know.  Each year the surgeon said I must have another surgery.  I guess I fully believed him and did not look for any other option.

My early morning routine includes a 30 minute work out Prescribed by the physical therapist. When making changes in your personal life, I believe you should start with Health.  This is where I started.  It’s an ongoing process and I am thankful for the beginnings.   Let’s

Go Forth and Prosper,

Bucket List Is Overflowing

Bucket List is Overflowing!

Time to identify wants, wishes, or needs.

I want, I wish, I need.  I filled my bucket list with little notes expressing my dreams.

Molinda Goforth Monday, December 30th

Apparently, lots of those things are wishes.  My Bucket Overflowed and seems some of the things fell through the bottom. Reading my notes clearly defines my dreams are expressed more in the I wish, and I want. Oops…

Do you find yourself saying I wish I had…or I wish I had done or I wish it was tomorrow?  Maybe the weather is important.  Like me, you may say, I wish it was summer. I wish it was warm.

Today I bought  little buckets..

Next, I soreted the little slips of paper defining my needs, wishes and and wants .

Discard Bucket contains: Stop wishing and wanting notes

Priority Bucket:  Needs to be completed as soon as possible.

Future Bucket List:  Anticipation of future needs.

Bonus  buckets contain: Laughing Seed notes, suggestions for  the  Day of Rest and completed needs!

Bucket list for Health Food and Exercise

Happy and Healthy Monday starts the week with a daily demand to focus on health.  It’s a real challenge for me to stay with recipes that contribute to improving my health.  Making a menu for this month is from the bucket of needs.

Have you ever based your health needs on the desires and wishes of others? Maybe, it’s the others that live in your household….Little one, wants ice cream or candy and you make and of course oblige by eating.  Yep, I do that.

Oh, friend number one, two and three extend an invitation to eat out each week.  Let’s have a social meal with each one and put bunches of garbage and fat into our body.

My results from the past ….are  overweight, undernourished,  limited movement, financially lacking and  the laughter from long ago is long gone.

Why do I wake up in the middle of the night with my mind racing for the unfinished task in my mind?

Oh, and when I listen to the conversations of 50%  of the people around me my thoughts become negative.  Change is inevitable this Decade!

Join me. Have a social meal with each one and put bunches of garbage and fat into our body.

My results from the past ….are  overweight, undernourished,  limited movement, financially lacking and where the heck is the laughter from long ago is gone.  It’s a new day and I love it!

My limitations with movement (very extreme challenge) calls for Physical Therapy and daily Exercise!  Hmmm….Tomorrow, my appointment for Physical Therapy is at 2:30.

Tuesday:  This therapy appointment was a preview of what is to come.  She gave me an assignment to do at home.  I have an  appointment for January 2nd, 2020!   Awesome way to begin the New Decade. Let’s

Goforth and Prosper,

Healthy Monday – Health Check-up

by Leave a Comment

 Health Check Up

I thought I Was Sick

I was tired, weak and hurt when I walked. A visit to the Doctor confirmed my health needed attention.  She ordered Cat Scan. The results  revealed inflammation in my colon and possible abscess. Oh,  it opened the door for me to walk through and have many, many other necessary and routine tests.  Those tests are not on my to do list now, although I am not saying they will never be.

My habits and thoughts have contributed to manifest an illness that calls for immediate change.

For three days following the cat scan I had only antibiotics and clear liquids. Each day was an  improvement, but within two weeks the call of habit helped me slide back into my previous daily routine. Tonight, a second cat scan is scheduled.

It’s like returning to the stage of an infant. First, consume  liquids.  Next, add some soft and Healthy food (not frozen dinners and fast food chains)…. drink lots of water and start with beginners study.

My visit to Urgent Care resulted in an urgent awareness to change eating habits, add exercise and drink more water. In addition, stress must be deleted, more sleep and some play time!

Start Health Early In the Morning

This Morning, I drank….. Hot water with lemon, honey and apple cider vinegar.

I am an early riser. Next around 7:00 am I had one cup of coffee and a piece of dry toast.

At 9:30 a smoothie, recipe from Dr Oz was welcomed.  Unfortunately, food for the remainder of the day wasn’t as healthy. Funny  in my thoughts, I believed one day of perfect healthy food would make a scan all better. Tonight, the second scan is scheduled.

Hopefully,  the report from the radiologist will soon be available. I love technology that allows us to access our patient file.

Please know, Doctors are important and I respect each one.  However, I believe we are responsible to pray, research, and ask God for wisdom before just accepting a diagnosis.  After all, Doctors practice and I believe God made me…so He knows exactly what I need.  My research includes information from the following video.

A Video For Health

 

Food Prep For Health

In the morning, I will share my video of making the smoothie and recipes for the week!  It’s a journey and I love company… Tell me what you do each day for your health!

For years, Monday was my day off from work, and it seems the habit is hard to erase.  I find it exciting to know entering in to the new year, Monday will be my wake up day to evaluate and implement a better routine. What do you plan to do in 2020 for your health?

Together, let us

Go forth and Prosper  and be in good health!
