Vale,
Ah Sunday, what a day. Sundays are the best day; the day of rest and relaxation. However, Monday's unfortunately follow Sundays and Mondays in my book are dreadful.
Wesley's menu planning is going well. I feel as if we are very much on schedule with our menu planning. What we are doing just seems very repetitive and it is frustrating when you are constantly working to modify a diet to fit government regulations but end up giving someone similar foods for every meal because no other food works@#!%. Then, you have to wonder since we are only providing these seniors with one meal are they following this diet we are prescribing them for the other meals they eat throughout the day?... I hope so. :-/ This is the frustrating part of being a dietitian.. you can only do so much to change a person's diet... they have to want to change their eating habits or their health status won't change. However, after hearing from the head of the program and how passionate he was about the Meals on Wheels program it made me realize how much he valued out time and effort we were putting into this project and made me feel like a valued asset to his company. His outlook of how much he wanted to expand and build the Meals on Wheels program was very inspiring and motivating to want to do the best I could for the clients of the staff of Meals on Wheels. I am very excited to complete this project and move onto to my clinical rotations at St. E's!!
This weekend was a much needed, relaxing one that I wish would never end, but I am ready to get back to the grind and get this menu completed for Wesley. Better get cracking!
Enjoy this beautiful day!
Salvete =)
