Distracted with other Health Issues

I haven't been too consistent with the breakfast or the exercise routines this week; my brain has been too focused on other issues right now [which is frequently the case when I'm stressed].  I don't know how this coming week will be, either, since I need to deal with these other issues at hand.

This past Friday I started with an outpatient treatment program for some of my health issues. I'm not sure yet how long I'll be going [maybe a week or two; longer if needed]. I do know that the doctor is going to have me get some labwork done, an EKG, and a CAT scan. It's been awhile since I've had any blood work done and even longer since I've had an EKG.  I've never had a CAT scan done so it should be  interesting to see how that goes and what the results are.

Thursday's 'intake' process and the long day on Friday really drained me; I bet this upcoming week will, too. I'm usually pretty wiped out after my doctor appointments as well as with the treatments I get in-between the dr appts so I'm assuming being at the hospital most of the day [morning through late afternoon, sometimes later] will be even be moreso of a drain. 

Some day, perhaps there will be a time when this healthier eating will be so ingrained in me that I won't even have to think about if I'm eating healthier or not [though it hasn't happened over the long haul yet].  But right now I need to focus more on getting through the next week and I'm hoping that in the long run, it'll help me with other issues as well.

[Hopefully this post makes SOME sense; it's after 3 am right now and I really need to try again to get some sleep; the alarm clock will be going off in about 3 hours...]
