Another couple of weeks have flown by... all too fast I might add! I continue to make improvements on a daily basis. I've had very few setbacks to speak of... and I am genuinely happy with my current state of affairs.
Work is fulfilling and I've jumped back into the thick of it with renewed vigor and focus. I've reworked the delivery of one of my main staples - sales training program - and have put it to calendar and it all seems to be working well. The real estate industry has taken a major hit - all over the country, no less. I am grateful I have loyal clients and that they've embraced my return back to the training podium.
I still have some lingering chest "pain" issues... I'm sure that's normal. A friend of mine in Santa Cruz had bypass surgery over a year ago and he says that it takes a long, long time to get back to "normal" as far as residual aches and pains. I know that if I turn the wrong way or over extend my reach... my sternum will tell me to back off and get real.
Also, I am still bouncing around with my irregular sleep patterns. I can sit down in the evening and fall asleep in the chair... usually only briefly, but dead to the world none-the-less. I go to sleep at a regular time and lay there looking at the ceiling for hours on end. Not the best situation... and medications (at the moment) do not seem to be doing much to alleviate the problem.
Steve and I continue to watch our diets (low sodium/low fat) and weight. I've managed to keep the 35 +/- pounds off that I'vd lost since the surgery. But, that's a "battle of the bulge" that just seems to go on and on and on. I'vd been stuck in a rut for weeks... and would love to see another 15-20 pounds go away. But, as George Bush said (during his infamous debate on TV some years back) ...this is hard, this is hard!
Well - not the most exciting post, for sure. But it is what it is. More to come... later.
Hugs to you all!
