Question New Year's Resolutions?

Even though most of us, if we are making a resolve to do better at something, most of these vows will be gone and forgotten by Valentine’s Day, and in some cases (probably my own too) even sooner. Nonetheless I thought I would ask… do you have any?

I don’t usually play this game, but I am thinking of giving a go at figuring out how the heck I can drop a few pounds, okay… more than a few. I certainly found a few extra over the holiday’s and they sure weren’t needed given how much weight I’ve gained over the last few years . I would love to blame it entirely on my meds, which I KNOW are not helping matters , but I have got to change my eating habits. It used to be that I could just burn it off. Of course I’ve never had a high metabolism , but I was at least able to workout. My age is certainly now also working against me too, great!

I can’t get my head around how I’m supposed to get my metabolism up, my heart rate up because it’s not just the normal omg I haven’t used that muscle in a while, and I’ll just be a bit sore for a few days. It would be more like OMG where’s the dilaudid drip? And can I have one while I try to be active? Now let’s define active… Oh and we’re going to need tons of IV Zofran so I don’t puke , and do you even think I’ll be able to sit up, stand or even walk while I’m on these meds (if that was even possible)? Of course I’m being facetious… SO WHAT THE HECK IS ONE TO DO that has this damn disease? Just diet, no exercise? I guess they call it physical therapy. Well some of the priciest gyms are cheaper than PT.

Anyway, this is just ONE area of my life that needs a bit of improvement. I would love to hear any of your resolutions….


Ps... I had fun with the animated gifs
