Movement
I'm in Florida so I decided to get my exercise today by walking the city. I spent about 3 hours walking all over town exploring. I stopped periodically to read or have lunch. Back at the hotel I spent some time playing in the pool (mostly doing leg and arm exercises because I don't know what else to do). Although I've been feeling a little frustrated about my body image I'm happy to report that I did get noticed at the pool ... well, it was a seven year old boy but I think it still counts.
Nutrition
I'm trying different foods now that I am post chemo and foods do taste a little different (I no longer like hamburgers or mac and cheese). We went to dinner at a Spanish restaurant and everything was very tasty! Dinner was followed by Flamenco dancers performing - kind of felt like I lost weight just watching them.

It's 2010 - I am cancer free - and time to start back into life! I'm writing this blog to help motivate myself to continue living a healthy life through good nutrition and movement and power through my dissertation by setting manageable daily goals. Feel free to follow along, help keep me motivated, and set your own goals.
Today I read the most recent article I found on first-gen college students. It was published March 2010! There is an inspiring idea in there about how family relationships are very important as a factor in persistence theory, especially for first-gen students, that is left out of our current models of student persistence. Maybe my dissertation can build upon this idea???
ReplyDeleteTomorrow I plan on reading some more and writing a one page blurb about my ideal study--as I see it right now. I need to turn it into Dr. Phelps, as she has agreed to encourage me to stay on track by the end of the day tomorrow [by 5PM really, because Steve is coming over tomorrow to hang out on main street and get dinner with me! :D :D :D]
All in all, life is really good right now. I just really need to dive into this dissertation process. What great timing in starting an accountability blog Sara!! I had decided to really dive in by tomorrow at the beginning of this week :)
