New Year, Weird ME!

 So, I'm a tad behind. We are a month into the new year and this is the first blog. I make no apologies, simply the vow to try harder. I want to build the following of the blog this year, so, if it has reached you, and you enjoyed it, please like, comment, and share the blog with others.

Now to the current idea for how I am hoping to run the blog this year. I am wanting to use it as more of an online journal, where I post written updates a few times a week. Now I still want to do the occasional purely video blog, at least once a month, and probably some intermittent hybrid style blogs with journaling and video. As always constructive feedback is welcomed and appreciated.

Let's get into the journaling. Life has been interesting since my last update.I've been attempting to workout more frequently, now I feel the timing is right to begin to increase the difficulty of my workouts. I want to increase weights, reps, and vary the routine. I will walk again this year. As soon as I can sit myself up on the side of the bed by myself, I am going to request my doctor to get approval from the insurance, to put me into an in-patient physical rehabilitation facility. My goal being to learn to stand and transfer to a wheelchair, so that I can go yo out-patient therapy. This is a huge goal now that my surgery has healed on my leg 

My diet continues to improve I am not eating as much or dinge eating. I do still snack but my choices have gotten healthier. The next major goal is to cut back on my bread consumption. I have all but eliminated sodas from my diet and usually just drink water. I would be remiss if I did not give credit to my wife for helping me, and preparing my meals. She is awesome.

My emotional state is improving. I don't seem to be having nightmares as frequently. I still deal with PTSD symptoms from my time spent as an EMT. Sleep is still an issue as I sleep in two to three hour spurts, so I end up falling asleep during the day.My depression seems to be less severe than it was and my psychiatrist encouraged me to start journaling again, I figure this blog is a good place for that.

Spiritually I am growing. I am working through a plan that reads the bible in a year. I have stayed current thus far and intend  to stay strong. I am praying more, and I watch church online. I even assist my niece and nephew study for bible quizzing.  I would say all in all thing are improving.

I have been trying to start streaming again mostly playing Minecraft on my PS5 on Twitch. I plan on streaming retro games as I progress, so feel fre to come follow me and  hang out as I bumble along.

With that I will wrap up and say that you for reading my blog, as I said in the beginning if you liked what you sae from likr, commrnt, cna share this blog. God bless, love you all.
