Looking back at how far I've come is amazing.
I'm on new medication now, which I think I've mentioned. I'm not supposed to be seeing results for about four + weeks, but for now the outlook is great.
I went for a run tonight, not too long, just 1.25 miles (I think). My garmin is MIA (ie - in my car parked at work... we hope!) so I'm not sure how fast I was going or what distance was covered.
All I really know is that I got up to the speed that felt comfortable to me and ran it for two minutes on, two minutes off, for about 25 minutes. My goal is to work that up to 3 minutes on, two off for 45 minutes this week.
Also spent some time in bible study and outlining my novel. I've got up to chapter 12 outlined (eek!) and plan to start actually writing it this week.
This Week's Goals:
- Spend time in the Word every day
- Run 3x + this week
- 3 gym sessions
- Finish outlining my novel by Wednesday, start writing by Thursday
Huh, maybe I'm actually manic.
Naw, it's just the new meds... right....?!? :P
Hello,
ReplyDeleteWas just reading a little of your blogs...and yes medication along with healthy activities can help make you feel normal once again. I've been diagnosed bipolar for almost 8 years now and have been struggling with the whole weight gain thing with the meds. I exercise when I can. Good luck with your running and keep blogging it helps!
