I just can't do what I used to but that's no bad thing

Well over the last few weeks of hospital treatment and recovering and recouping I'm feeling better than I have in nearly two years and it feels amazing

But I also know I can't do what I could when I was 21 lol

At 27 years of age I have come to realise if I want to stay healthy I'm going to have to work extra hard and change a few things which may mean giving things up quite a bit

But that's no bad thing and it leads to a longer healthy brighter future

My work list/to do list for future has to be

1. More sleep if I'm to keep my energy levels up and give my body the best chance of fighting illness
2. Keep up the appetite putting weight on has helped my improve in general and in many different areas

3. Keep up the gym 3 times a week at least

4. Keep up the nebulisers

5. Keep up the physio and more often

6. Drink less if any alcohol at all, don't get me wrong i worked out in 2012 I only went out 4 nights drinking in all and I didn't drink over Xmas and new year but drank recently and as a consequence of that it played havoc with my diabetes and gave me 40 hours of hiccups as it also messed up my tablets and that was no good feeling and I was embarrassed to go to a and e and say er can you cure my hiccups, to be told I'm an idiot and it was most likely my fault trying to drink as much as possible (but I had a great night and I will no doubt do it again just not so bad lol) in general alcohol doesn't like me anymore but I won't give up entirely I mean I will still have a night out once in a while but not drink such a large amount lol

7. Relearn my diabetes, giving up the alcohol will of course help but surprisingly as I now eat more I'm finding it easier to control so I'm having to rewrite my own instruction manual

8. Sort out my insomnia, I'm finding myself having to use sleeping tablets more and more and I'm noticing it may not be too good for me so I'm off the tablets and onto counting sheep

9. Prepare and complete tough mudder

10. Try to enjoy myself a bit more in future with so many things going on with my health I feel I have lost the ability a little to have fun and laugh more often. I mean I haven't cried over my problems but I prefer to laugh at them and overcome them instead of worrying and thinking oh dear is this the year I mess it up.

11. Go on holiday, just because I haven't had one in nearly 2-3 years and I want to see more of the odourless it's got so much beauty and I've merely scratched its surface

12. Show people more of my world through my blog, twitter and Facebook and talk to more cfers, I have already started this but I feel I need to put more out there and show more past present and future to the world.

13. And final and I had to have 13 for 2013. I have a huge ambition to do a charity event for the cystic fibrosis trust. I don't want to reveal too much but it involves 3 things in 24 hours. And I will be roping some special friends to help me as they have experience of what I want to do and I got to convince my girlfriend to do it, just because well she needs to be there :-)

So there's my aims my consistent requirements and goals.

I hope you will help spread the word of my blog twitter and Facebook as I wish to learn more from other cfers and disabilities and show what and who I am more but I can't do it without you all showing others who I am

Thank you in advance

Oh and happy new year to you all

I hope you all have amazing goals that you are aiming for just like me
