Never Underestimate The Power of 'One'

Purple Ladybug (that's me) believes in the strong power of 'ONE'...one person, one smile, one hug or ? All it takes is 'ONE' thing to happen during your day to change the way you feel, it may be amazing or even heartbreaking. We face many 'ONE's each and every day, so join me as I take my future 'ONE' day at a time and write about my journey as a cancer conquerer and the 'ONE's in my daily life.

Day 372 - 'one' BAD girl

that's what I've been! It seems that ever since I've only be able to eat room temperature food I am getting into an old habit of mine.  That is eating too much food that is NOT good for me.  Processed food, food with sugars, chocolate, non-white food, that sounds bad doesn't it.  I seem to be getting lazy.  I rarely bake or even spend much time in the kitchen.

The usual way I try to adjust my mistakes is to beat myself up, in my brain that is, and just give myself a general lecture...
  So that's what I'm doing.  There must be a better way.  A better way to convince yourself to make changes that may not be easy but are the best thing for you.  Even as a parent giving your kid a lecture didn't usually work.  They rolled their eyes, tuned you out and generally did not appreciate the blah, blah and then some more blah. 

Enjoying some leisure time at the beach.
So why do I think its going to work for me?  Not sure.  It's another one of those habits that it takes years to realize that it's really unproductive and rarely do I listen to myself. hmmmm

Today was blood test day and I sure like getting it done at the BC BioMed labs as I can get the results online the same day.  Everything looks pretty good except my platelets again.  My white blood count has even doubled up again, crazy good!  But my platelets have dropped to just over 100 and anything less than 75 will prevent me from getting treatment.  I dropped 35 points in the last two weeks...so I need to SMARTEN up and get back on track with eating ONLY whole foods, fruits and vegetables and ALL that good stuff.  It's not that eating whole foods etc will be the answer to raising my platelets but I know that it will help me feel stronger for sure.

One comes in, another goes out!
So one more day before treatment number 15 begins.  I feel lucky that we live in an area where I can get treatments so easily.  I can't even imagine if we lived out in the boonies what we would do.  One more treatment before I get my CT scan next week and we find out from the report if this wonderful new recipe is doing its job.  Onward and upward.

It may be when we no longer know what to do, we have come to our real work, and that when we no longer know which way to go, we have begun our real journey.
