Fresh beginning and old reminders

Before I start this actual post, I just want to say that I bent my pinky nail backwards whilst playing with the kitty. It hurts like crazy and the corner has now turned purple (as one would expect). It's making it difficult to type.

And now for our regularly scheduled posting:
Mom and I went to the gym today. I went with her last week, but was quite out of it having just received the notice about my blood sugar. Needless to say, today was a far better workout. I made a new booklet to keep track of everything... workout, food journal, etc. It's cute and compact and gets the job done. Really now, I'm feeling quite good about all this.
While looking through my gym bag trying to find my gloves for rowing, I found my old workout booklet. The start date was 12/28/09... and apparently, I was feeling like absolute crap... and continued to feel like crap for a solid month plus. The last entry is 2/2/10, so I don't know exactly what happened after that. I do know I started riding my back again shortly there after.. and shortly after that got diagnosed with ITP. I find it quite interesting that I was feeling so incredibly terrible just before my platelets dropped. I don't even remember feeling that way... but it's written out quite clearly in the 'notes' section. It's moments like these that I wish I had journalled (that's right... I made up a new verb.. If the noun can be made into a gerund, then by golly it can be a verb!) every single day.... cause you just never know when you're going to need to look back. I guess that kind of goes against the whole 'don't look back' thing, but in times like these, it's real helpful.

I love the way I feel now.. and it's only getting better. :D
