my life is totally changed by complications of Coronavirus. But even more so now, I need to drop this weight and eat healthier. But can't use exercise as part of the plan ( cardiac involvement prohibiting exertion) Soooo Onward!
Nov Goals
1. Lose 5 lbs

That's it. One goal. But am important one.
Healthy Barb 2022 has a goal of 25lbs weight loss and be able to race again in triathalons.

Onward!!

    I can relate I am still working as banking is essential. Not as essential as a nurse but people and money 💰 they are going crazy. We now have someone who does lobby duty to space people out and monitor the people. Today it's me. I have a migraine my eyes are blood shot but at least I won't be counting money I will be telling people to stop messing with me and get in line. Definitely cranky.
    I have a tele doc appt today. Hopefully I can get some help.
    One day at a time.

    I have been out of work and sick with coronavirus for 10 weeks. Hoping to get back to light duty by Thanksgiving. I need to practice wearing real clothes and shoes! And dealing with impatient people! ( we have a lobby nurse like your bank position)

    Aha! Cardiac tests show no heart damage from coronavirus infection!
    Onward to Healthy Barb 2022.

    If all goes well Wed may be my last physical therapy day. I will have to continue everything at home but I can do that. Still waiting to get approval for testing but I am just doing one day at a time and trying to stay healthy.

    Cleared for light duty at work. Cleared by cardiologist who was amazed how long i stayed on the testing treadmill! Thank goodness I was in shape before getting Covid. Energy spent on making appts, sister's surgery, financial concerns but I can feel the desire to eat healthy sneaking in. ONWARD!
