Hard to believe we are well into July, about this time last year we started the horrible spiral with jim’s health. This year everything seems pretty great healthwise for him, but I am 25 pounds heavier than I was last year and that is something I’d like to change. I am also looking at turning 60 in about a month which is not really freaking me out, but it is something to think about for sure.
So I’m trying to double down on my eating, being more mindful about tracking, trying to run three times a week, and I’ve started doing arm weights again. Last year, I had hoped to talk to somebody about my anxiety, but I ended up going to a psychiatrist (medical Dr) instead of a psych psychologist (Therapist) due to a referral from my primary care. Psychiatrist just wanted to put me on drugs, which I would not be totally opposed to, except it was $500 a session and that seemed ridiculous to me. Apparently, my primary can prescribe those drugs if that seems like a good plan, But I am currently just bumbling along as before, and hoping to maybe set up some sort of video talk therapy. For whatever reason that seems to be what I think will work 😁
I’m also trying to read one non-fiction book most days for 10 or 15 minutes. I started with atomic habits about a year ago and it was terrific. Maybe I should just read that book over and over again because none of the books have been nearly as good!
