What a Day!

Guess I could say that every day I wake up! :)
I have finished my front yard for winter. It is beautiful. Got my apple tree pruned in the back yard and do hope to get some of it cleaned up back there before cold set's in.
The energy class's I have been in are wonderful. I am enjoying them so much. We learned things to do for the eyes in this past class, but I have yet to get doing them each day. Have other's I am still working in and then we all get busy in dayley life!
My hands from all the yard work are so stiff and sore. I am going to try to focus on them and see if I can help them get better using the energy tip's in Donna Edens book's.
My sciatica is so much better, not need to look into helping the hips more and I should be good to go! :)
I am still not loosing weight, but sure feel like I should be? Odd. I am still 185 lb's (about) so that is better then the 195 I was months ago still. Just wish more would go!
We have our first new couch and push back recliner. Never had new furniture, new to us, but not New! It is wonderful, so comfortable, no more dinning room chairs for me in the living room!
How sweet is that. They took the old broken stuff with them too> Yaaaa

Energy Life

It has been a busy week.
I have my house all clean and am ready for work tomorrow.
The next Energy Medicine meeting is this Monday the 23rd. So looking forward to it.
Have been faithfully in my morning energy routine and some care.
Doing tea great too, but alas, no elliptical.
My weight is the same, minus those couple pounds still.
My energy is still flowing nice! :) That is great!!
I take off Friday to have a Mother Daughter weekend at my eldest sisters
beach house for a couple day's. This I am Really excited for as it is the only time I get
to get away and have any sort of a vacation. I read and see people going all over the place, camping, flying places and I do not get how they can do it. I am 54 and have not been very far.
Maybe my time will come though! :) There are many people out there who sure have it allot worse then I have now. I am very blessed.
Having my health come back is a big blessing for sure.
The meeting has a vote going on what to learn about next. I put my vote in for eye health and strength. My eyes are shit, would be nice to know something to help them. I keep thinking
of the Lazier eye surgery, but after my September surgery I am not sure I want to go there now.
Glass's hurt my ears so bad and nose and I usually can only see out of them a very short time before a new strength is needed. I can not use contacts as I have a lazy eye and it pope's them out. So we will see.
My youngest girl is having so much trouble with her X boyfriend, the father of our grandson.
We can not afford legal help for her so she is applying for housing help, food, medical and day care for her son which will qualify her for free help in that area. We are quite surprised by he X's irresponsible actions and using his son to get even or what ever. He is proving to be selfish trash who cares little for his Son, as he himself comes first! So sad.
Did you know that if you are not married and have a child that neither of you have custody rights to you child!! You actually have to apply for it. I hope I didn't repeat this already, should have read my last blog! :) Oh well, wise to hear it again! If you did no file for custody at birth, better do so!!
Oh I have a new small book that tells on of the food's that are best for what ever blood type you are! They have a book for each, which I did not know. I have mine for A and will read and check it out!
Well, healthy living and blessings

Energy

I have always felt one should have a good sense of humor, be honest as possible and don't hurt
someone, physically or mentally.
When I had my surgery and though I hurt and they had a big time oops during my surgery, I felt it important to wish anyone who came in my room a good morning, to smile and ask how there day was, give a compliment if due. I usually can find something to be amused with, laugh about what happened, make a joke about it or something to laugh myself and hope to get another to smile, laugh, make there day just a bit nicer.
And now, with this new found energy I have tapped into I am amazed and feel I have been given a new positive additive for my life. I am in a better mood, which is quite amazing as I am rarely in a bad one. I am finding more to smile about and enjoy. My brain seems to be working a bit more efficiently as well.
I have been working in my yard again and getting ton's done, it is enjoying it as much as I am I feel. It's been like 2 or 3 years since I have been able to do much, it has been so let go, but if I keep going this way and do what I want on my free day's this yard will be so beautiful and I hope easier to care for once contained and controlled. Heck maybe I will even get to where I want to buy plants again and add them to my yard! :)
My eyes are still clearing and going back, but they look just a bit better in the evening each week, my hope is that in time they will clear.
The ear reflexology is helping ton's now that I am regular with the treatment. I want to learn it, but the lady who teaches it has screwed a lot of people from what I have been told, and there may be legal actions going against her. To bad she has done this, she is very intelligent and knows so much. I pray she gets an enlightenment and realizes what she is and has done and corrects herself. For the good of people who can benefit from more knowing how to do what she does.
I have been doing quite well remembering my "K" tea, drink it most every day so I am happy with that.
I do my energy medicine routine every morning and some core as well.
I have yet to get back on the elliptical, but I am heading outside to work more and my work is very physical as well.
I wish all healthy living and the learning of living a pill free life as much as possible.
Don't just agree with all your doc., tell you! Seems they want to give a pill for everything, then if the pills cause a new symptom, instead of taking you off that pill, they will give you one to help the side effect you got from it and so on.
Try something new, it just may work and if not!
The pill's will still be there.

Energy

So far, this title seems to fit. I am not going to get on this every day. I think unless things really get involved there is no need.
I have been doing my Energy Routine now for a couple weeks.
I felt the routine was simple and have already said how it helped my eyes.
Though my eyes have shown little change now, but my energy level has sky rocketed. I can not believe how much I have! It is to say the least unreal. I was totally not expecting it let alone the amount I have. I did better while cleaning and for the first time in a very long time I got in the yard and really worked out there. I did my heavy sweating, but after cooling down, still wanted to get back out there. I got more done in a day then I have in ages.
My sciatica is getting so much better with the ear reflexology, but my hips are sure bothering me, still and I think more really. In one week I go back for my ears again and will let her know to hit them really good. But I think I am going to see about the energy healing I have been reading about, how it says I can try it on myself and see what and if it does anything.
I need to read on how to tame this heat I get. It is so unreal, when they say heat flash, they really mean Heat Flood!! I sweat like someone is holding a pitcher over my head and are pouring water on top. There is that much!!! Luckily it has mostly just been during the day, and usually when I am being physical. I get worm at night, but tossing the covers, the air going, I cool pretty fast, get a bit cold, cover up again and go back to sleep. My hips are waking me frequently, but it is more towards morning now, around 3 or 4 am vs. all night long like it was. So I am getting better I feel. I am pleased I am taking care of this naturally vs. drug's like some I know.
I want to stay as drug free as I can. So many take pill's for what ever ails them, I just do not
want to be one of those elderly who have little box's full of pill's to take every day, a set in the morning, in the after noon and before bed. The heck with that!! I want to be more in charge of my health and help my body to take control and heal or control what happens to it.
I am 54 now and am not on anything, Knock on wood! :) I am drinking my Tea every day, I do my energy routine and some core each day. I take my vitamins only when my body says I need them, and then do so for just a couple/few day's as they really are not good for you to take all the time. If I am hurting ~~ hips, low back~ I will take Ibuprofen for a day or two and that's it.
There are no other pill's I am on. I am so blessed and hope to keep the blessing going here.
I am about done with the book this man wrote about his journey with energy healing and have already started a little in one of the energy medicine books I bought. It is quite fascinating and I feel is going to be the healing medicine wave of the future. I started learning this in the 70's like I said before, and have been cautious and leery picking back up on it with all the new they have learned, but am seeing more positive teaching's of it then ever. Maybe it is just a phase for me, time will tell, but it has gotten my brain going, I am reading each night, I have not done this in years as well. My eyes don't usually let me read for long, but I am doing better with that. My new glass's are for doing bead work, but sure let me see good.
Till my next entry~~~ Blessings

ENERGY!!

I could not think of a title for this yet, so I picked one that has to do with what I am learning. It may change, or maybe not!
I started in the late 70's learning of body energy, but was so new back then, the field for it was just opening up in the states. Life really got going for me in the 80's and sort of put a stop to many things for me then. Marriage, kids. Most know how it goes with such happenings.
I started a couple months ago with Reflexology Ear Therapy due to this surgery I had Sep., 2009 that had a Big mishap, accident, an Oops shall we say. Having never really had much health trouble, it was quite the set back for me. I wont go into the surgery to much, but had a large fibroid that took on it's own life, was hooked to the top of my uterus and using fingers so to speak to attach to all sort's of places inside. The scope surgery was not going to work due to it's shape and size. They had to cut me open, luckily they ~ by my request ~ cut me vertical vs. horizontal pulling my muscles out of the way instead of cutting them.
But at some point my bowls were cut and the surgery took on a whole new world.
I ended up with infection pockets a week after, I blew open in the front at home, letting one pocket almost empty, if they had not gone in vertically pulling my muscles to the sides vs. cutting them, this pocket would have been the end of me. But sense they did, the muscles were weak and was able to let it flow out on it's own. I still had 6 more in me, which they put me on 3 different kinds of antibiotics for. They never saw such work so fast an anyone ever before. That was nice. The whole thing was way more dangerous then I knew then. After a few months I was still having bad bladder pain when going, but could tell it was on the outside of it, I did have blood in my urine for a time, they don't know why, all looked OK inside it. But it stopped on it's own.
The surgery set off my sciatica horribly, which later I was told is common.
Why don't they tell you this before? The bladder pain is from the tissue being disturbed and it attaches to things pulling on what ever till absorbed by the body, which I found out was common too. But do they tell you this so you are prepared, of course not!
Makes me feel like writing a paper, Things that are common after surgeries! Anyone interested in doing that one with me! :)
Anyhow, I have been unable to focus, my energy is way low, erratic, I am now sweating like a water fall off and on during the day. Mostly when doing physical things. I am having more trouble remembering things, things that should be a Habit for me.
Another good description is I feel disconnected to myself and life around me.
So I feel like forming consistent habits is not my trouble, its just remembering somethings that should not be hard to remember and these health issues.
It's all this!
Am I making sense here?
I started this Reflexology Ear Therapy a friend is certified in for my sciatica as I was loosing SO much sleep with it. I went to Physical therapy recommended by the Doc. They told me they could not help me with this. At the same time she found the blood in my urine and set me up with a specialist in that area. He found that there was no longer any blood there and that inside of my bladder looked young and healthy.
They left me at Zero and then they wanted to send me to a Pain therapist who helps you learn to deal with pain.
I had to cancel that apt., when the bill's for the others came in, which were NO help but you still get a bill right! Not wanting more bill's and no help I figured I better wait till I paid the first off.
But that is when my friend suggested the Reflexology Eat Therapy.
It is helping my Sciatica, which was encouraging and surprising at the same time. It is very affordable as well. It was doing great, but then I didn't get in every 2 weeks like she suggested (every week takes the affordable out of it) and I went 3 week's plus, was not good. So I am back on it and after one session it is showing signs of helping me again. I wont miss an apt., with her again. I will keep it up till my sciatica is all better, then I can stop it.
But I was talking to another friend who is a Massage Therapist about the heat waves, the bladder pain, the sciatica, my energy loss, weight, memory etc.. all I could come up with that I have noticed and how frustrated I was.
She told me a couple things to try and showed me this book by Donna Eden where she gave me the information from.
She said she was going to be holding a class on Energy Medicine, which is what this book was all about. Working with your bodies energy and the earth.
I Love things that are natural, I take no medications and would like to keep it that way. To many people depend on a pill for everything now day's. I don't want to do that. I want to keep my pill free life. :)
I missed the first class, due to reasons I don't remember now.
But this last week on Thursday I attended there second class. I went early so she could catch me up on what they did in the first class. Was so much fun, we all had a great time and learned at the same time.
I have had this jelly fish looking skin type substance in the outside corners of my eyes for a long time now (few years). I check my eyes every morning to see if it is getting larger, if my eyes are less discolored, red, and the "Jelly" skin is getting bigger or just my eyes looking worse in general. But Saturday morning when I was looking and doing my check on them, I found it was just about gone, there was just a small piece so to speak left showing. I pulled my eye open, thinking it was maybe under the lid further in the corner for a change. It was not. The whites of my eyes were the whitest they have been in years, my eyes were not discolored at the base and the redness and vein lines were about back to normal. My eyes usually look a bit gooey, not sure hoe else to say that one, and it too was about gone. Was a surprise and shock for sure.
By that evening they were back to where they were.
But I started this class of practicing reconnecting your energy points, connecting to the earth, energy medicine, Meridians and what have you, I am not sure what to call it or how to say it quite yet. But this took place just a couple days after I began to practice and learn this from, my first session of learning. I started this class hoping to reconnect with myself better and to get re-energized.
My eyes were the last thing I had on my mind. It's so unreal!
Even though they went back I knew there was something wonderful going on.
I thought maybe I slept better? My husband sleep's on the couch the night's he does not works so I can try to get some good sleep. He snores loud and odd and it disturbs my sleeping horribly. Friday he was on the couch. So I thought let's see what happened Saturday night when he is in bed keeping me awake. I get a bit more sleep after he gets up, but it's never been enough to do such things before.
Well, this morning I found my eyes clear again!
This has given me great hope. I am not discouraged but very encouraged that as I learn more, and for the eyes, that it will only get better and will at some point not come back, that my eyes will stay clear and "Jelly fish skin" will not be there anymore. That it will be permanent for me.
I do already feel a slight shift in my energy and will watch to see if it is actually helping this as well.
Needless to say, I have ordered the 2 books she ~Donna Eden~ has written along with the help of her husband. I ordered her "Kit" too which I am not sure what it has in it, but I do know it has a DVD which will help show me the moves and Meridians much clearer then the book. I am not waiting for the class to hit some of the areas I am interested in. I may be able to add good information during the class if I can read up on some of the ones I want to learn before hand and that at some point we will hit later in the class.
It has been sometime sense something has gotten me excited like this. I felt this way when I finished my children's book, the accomplishment of that gave me a sense of excitement and thrill. (I am sure if I ever get it published that will do the same) So did having my kitchen torn out when we started remodeling over 3 years ago. (it's slow for sure $$)
I was wanting to take a class and learn how to do the Reflexology Ear Therapy but I feel so drawn to this. The ear therapy is helping my sciatica and I wont stop it till it has completed it's task. But I don't want to take the class to learn it, least not right now. I feel this energy healing is where I am to be right now. They say God can not be seen, but that he is a powerful energy and light. So I feel like I am tapping into him and what he made us of. I guess I feel more of a connection.
Funny as that is what I am looking for in myself ~ A Connection.
I am going to keep this blog and write down all I experience and have happen, how I feel etc.. I will keep track of my daily energy routine they gave me to practice with this class on "Energy Healing. I will get a modified core work out going that I can easily do each day. I will continue to drink my water and make sure to drink my "K" tea as well not to forget my elliptical. I was going to try a body cleanings with the Ear Therapy lady, but with surgery less then a year past and this new class I am going to call her and let he know I think it's best health wise if I wait for something so dramatic to do and see where this takes me first.
Lord knows I do not need more challenges.
OK, this is a long start to getting back to my blog, but I want this for my mental record keeping so I can read back and see where I have come from and where this has taken me.
Blessings to anyone who Read's this.
May you feel enlightened to do more for your own health and well being.

I Am Back!

Well, I tried the Sparks page to continue my consistent habits and in
just 1 and 1/2 months it blew most of all I had accomplished right out the window!! I did keep up with my water drinking, but that was about it!
Unreal, surprised the heck out of me.
I think it is due to the fact that the sight has so much on each page you open and logging in food and work outs just took forever. Most of the time I could not find the home made foods I made to even list them or correctly and I could not find things to list in the work out area for all the house cleaning I do.
I ended up not doing my core, my elliptical was more off them on. I was about ready to start weight's and you can guess what happened there~ Nothing!!
I have gained a few more pounds sense I went there too, not exactly what the sight is to do for you.

So here I am. Back to writing myself.

I am keeping the Sparks page as they have great helper insights, recipes, different work outs if looking for new and great health info. But I am just not one that does well with there track keeping. The time It took me to do things on the sight took away from my time which I have little of to do my work outs.
I have a new double batch of tea to pour off today, I have been drinking it sporadically, my son has done better with it. So I will get regular with it again.
I for some reason feel more responsible to myself here I guess then I did there.
I am going to keep better flow with my work outs. Doing the elliptical most day and taking just one or two off from it a week. I want to rotate lower body work outs with upper weight ones. Then get a nice easy timely set of core and lower back strengthening work out that can be done daily to get and keep my core strong, but not take up so much time that I don't want to do them.

I carry my weight all over so I don't look like I weigh the close to 200 lb's that I am. But I grow out of ALL my clothes with this, where as some I know due to carrying it in just the upper or lower part of the body.
I am going to be starting this class in Energy Medicine, working with ones
own energy.
I will try to keep a log of my findings and what happens.
I had this written some time back and am just now getting back to my blog.
Talk about blown habit's!!
Now it's not so much making habits as it is getting myself to remember better and to increase my energy flow, being healthier, more connected to myself and the earth. Mostly connecting my body's energy to work like it should!
After all we are not just mostly water as they say, but we are energy!
Makes sense as water does make energy as well.
So I am going to publish this and then write my finding's on the Reflexology Ear Therapy I have been trying and this new Energy Healing I am learning.

Forming Consistent Habit's

I have decided to stop writing this blog idea.
I am getting really good at logging, but now need to figure out how to get better foods into my diet and will need to spend more time on my sparks page. This running from area to area is taking to much time. Sparks page will tend to give me info I need and contacts with people who may help get things straightened out for me to help me more.
We have such a old computer that it takes me to long to just get on here. Then it's loose stuff, get kicked off etc.. so stupid. I do not like our computer. Kids have it so full of crap too, unreal. If I can buy another one from a friend, I am going to keep it just to me for awhile. Or till me eldest moves out. If ever. Will be 29 this July and still at home, still getting $ every 2 weeks out of her Dad so she is getting paid to live here for free and does not help with regular daily things. Has piles of crap all over the house and gets really pissed when anyone touches it.
So good buy for now!
If I can get her to teach me how to use my camera on this as I have paid for in advance then I will open this back up and get pictures of things I make on here.
I will get on when I am canning and log in what all and how all i do things with that.
Off for compost today!
Blessings and may all you hope to remember happen for you!
Happy Habit's!

Forming Consistent Habit's

Did heavy cleaning for 5 hours today.
Drank my Tea and did the elliptical.
Will do my core after I get off line.
I had a whole chicken in my slow cooker all day, falling apart.
I am not use to these things yet, but nice when I know I will be way to tired to cook. This way at least part of it is done.
They say we should have sun through the weekend and Monday. Sure hope so, lot's of people are getting not only grumpy but the energy level on most of is has dropped terribly. I hope to hook my trailer up Saturday and go get compost for my garden. Many who got there's in have drowned with all the rain we have had.
The ear therapy with the Titanium beads has actually helped, Surprising sense she did low key to start. I slept just a little better last night and woke up with not as much pain as usual. I did end up with a head ache for quite awhile, I rarely get them so was glad when it passed. I have more intestinal cramping today and hurt more in my hips and low back which I usually get a break from in the middle of the day. Doing better right now.
I am going to start logging in how I feel etc.. as I am to try and keep a journal about my health sense the big oops in Sep. Will write that down later. Wish I had started it back then. I have been through SO much and from what I was told, am very lucky to be here.
I am off now to log in my food for the day and my work out.
Blessings and Happy Habit's.

I drank my Tea today!! :)
No time, need to get on the elliptical still.
I went to this friend's for her to do the Ear therapy today. Need to read what it is called!! Anyhow, we will see if I can sleep better tonight.
I am not bad during the mid day, but night, and morning's are the worst!
Did not do good with water yesterday, and have not today! Hum, Need to go get my water bottle!!

We had a great time with our grandson, daughter and her significant other.
Lot's of laughing, eating and talking. Taylor got this tow truck (from Car's) called Mater. It is remote controlled, but I forgot the batteries. We finally found enough so he could play with it. Man did he have a blast! But then, he held it up to his head and he got his hair all wound around the wheel. The truck keeps going back wards till you hit the button which makes it got forward. They really should have it where it stops and has a button to hit for each way. Was a real mess getting his hair out. Our eldest finally got his hair out of it though.
I got my two cakes done, both Yummy!
Staying away from them today as best I can! I have had just a couple bit's.
I did my elliptical today, will do my core when off this.
Need to drink my Tea yet too! This I missed yesterday as well.
Don't want to start that again!! Now that I have a fresh batch!
OK~~ Now I did drink my Tea!! ;)
I have my food logged in for today as well, though I have not eaten
my dinner yet, it's on there!
Got allot of errands done today.
Will go to D.M.V. tomorrow for a new title to my paid off car. Ya Ya
Is to be cloudy all week. I was upset for not getting my garden in yet, still even need compost! Tilling as well. But we have had such down pours, hale etc.. that those who did get there gardens in are having trouble with flooded beds.
So maybe I will have better timing.

It is a rainy day. But once it stops for a time I need to get out and rip the fence around my garden down, at least at both ends for compost dumping and tilling. I have so much I want to get planted this year as I have ton's to get canned to restock my shelves.
I want to freeze some corn canals, can some beets, green Bean's. Need to get some herbs dried, need to make more raisins (course I buy the grapes from the store unless I find someone with seedless red to pick and dry). I have tomatoes to get canned, pickles to make, want peach's, pears, applesauce. Get fresh berry's frozen and make some jam. My blueberry's are doing well this year, so if I can keep the neighbor kids out of them I should have plenty. Will see about wold blackberry's, and go to my favorite farm for Marian and raspberry's.
I would like to get a line put up and have my own rasp., Marion and some concord grapes of my own! I should be able to get what pears I want off my two tree's, we eat few, but love to have them. My peach tree's are baby's that I have not even sprayed, don't know really how top care for them, but the lot is shit right now so long as they live I will be happy. Wish my husband would help with something around here, would make my life a whole lot easier and would get so much more done vs just trying to keep up every year.
I poured my "K" tea off this morning, nice to have a full double batch! Drank some fresh, pretty tasty!! I make it with green tea and black peach, nice flavor that way.
Did not do my core yesterday, man missed like 2 day's now so will for sure do them today. Will do the elliptical too!!
I am not loosing any weight yet, but am not gaining anymore so all is good right?
I am logging my food intake but some I am just listing at the bottom note attachment as there is no log for the dietary content on some.
I am making stuffed manicotti today for my grandson's celebration tomorrow.
Sense my eldest does not like such, or anything like Lasagna I am making one casserole of it with steak and veggies with Moz. vs. Ricotta and using Marinara on all vs. home made spaghetti sauce in hopes it will be liked better.
My husband should be home today from so called fishing, though sure with the storms that passed through that drinking and cards was the only fishing they did. Glad at least one of us gets to go places and just have there job to do and nothing at home to do or deal with at all. Must be nice to have a free work horse you don't have to pay or spend time with.
I am so proud of how I am doing with all this. I think the 11Th of June I will have been at this for 2 months!! WOW. :)

I tell you, we need a new computer!! I spent hours on this thing last night trying to do my mail, list my food and get here.
I obviously did not get all done!
I will pour my tea off tonight or tomorrow. Missed just a couple day's with one tea dose between them. I am happy about that.
I need to do my core today, but the last couple day's my back/hip's and legs hurt to bad to get on the floor to do them.
I am keeping up pretty good with my Sparks page. If I don't get something on there due to writing on it early, I do it the next day and get all on that I did after or when I have more time to finish.
I am still getting in at least 8 ~ 8oz. glass's of water every day. That's a big WOW for me there.
If I could get some of this weight off I would be feeling better I am sure.
Surgery and not being aloud to do much for so long really screwed me over.
I have at the least 50 lb's to loose. I would go on the biggest looser show except I am sure those wonderful people who go on it would think it was a joke for so little to loose when they have real health and weight issues compared to me.
Maybe I should write them anyhow!! :)
Time to get off this for the day!!
Blessings and Happy Habits!!

Well I did get my core work out in.
But I skipped my tea till this morning, so I am not going more then just a day between pouring the next batch off.
Still doing good with Water. Sense I had detested water for so many years, I find it nothing shot of amazing that I am getting in at least 8 cups of water a day. I fill dish washer cleaned SOBE glass bottles.
They hold 20 Oz. which helps me count it.
Really burnt out, with this Sciatica or ? I am experiencing sense my surgery's
second hospital stay I am just not getting much good sleep.
Blessings and Happy Habit's

Forming Consistent Habit's

Well I did manage to do my elliptical yesterday.
But I cleaned 2 places today, so real tired. I will do my core though!!
I did drink my tea yesterday and will do so again this evening.
I am about out, but luckily I have a double batch about ready to pour.
I wrote my food intake and exercise down on my Sparks page.
It is getting faster and easier to do so thank goodness.
I never did it before as it always seemed to take Forever!!
But I am actually getting pretty good at it.
I am not great at staying in the nutrient range, but am sure not going to worry about that part right now.
One thing at a time Right???
I need to look at the date on my first day doing this.
I do believe I am getting close to 2 months now! Unreal.

Forming Consistent Habit's

Busy day yesterday!! Was great having Taylor my grandson here.
I drank my Tea yesterday, did my core, but no elliptical and ate way to much crap!
I have my tea yet to do today and my core. I worked 6 hours doing heavy cleaning today so most likely wont do the elliptical today either.
Time to get some water and do my exercises.
Blessings and Happy Habits

Forming Consistent Habit's

Was not time for this yesterday.
Saw my daughter and grandson.
Then went major shopping which takes a good 3 hours usually.
Then home to put it all away and mow the lawn for a couple hours.
Did a few things inside then took off to a movie with my son.
I did drink my tea yesterday and did one set of core. Water~
Today I added my food to my sparks page.
Not sure if I will get much more added in it today but breakfast as my grandson is coming to spend the night. Will be busy with him for sure!
I will drink my tea today, do my core when I get off this.
Hope to do my elliptical but need to do some weeding.
Not sure where my energy will go to?
Coffee is gone so will go get my water bottle filled.
Should do some weed spraying again, the stuff that got Crossbow did not die, only where I used Round up did it all die. Not sure why!! ??

Forming Consistent Habit's

Well I worked a good 5 hours doing heavy cleaning.
I drank my tea.
I entered my food on my Sparks page.
I did my core strengthening exercises, and added a couple to it.
One yesterday and one today.
And have one I do when I am not to pelvic sore to do it.
Today was not a day to do it. :)
I have no idea what to make for dinner.???
Got my teeth cleaned today at the dentist, and all looks good.
Blessings and Happy Habit's

Forming Consistent Habit's

Well, I have yet to do my core more today, but did do some.
I will do the elliptical again today and I worked 4 1/2 hours today
doing heavy cleaning.
I drank my "K" Tea already too!
I got my foods logged in for today, except for what else is going with the baked
lean pork chops I am cooking.
I am drinking water great. Unreal, I am still surprised by this sense for so many years I could not stand water. Took me time to get into wanting to drink it, let alone this much. My water intake before was like 4 oz to take vitamins, well when I took them that is. Do not feel one needs them all the time, every day. I take them just when I feel the need.
I even logged in some exercises on my sparks page today, did so for the past 3 day's I think. It's not much, but something. I am trying to build a habit of keeping track of my food and work outs.
I am getting better and faster all the time!! :)

Forming Consistent Habit's, 5/10 & 5/11

Well, someone was on this late last night so I was not able to get
back on, but I did enter the food's I ate earlier.
Entered today's already as well.
I drank 8 cups or more of water both days.
Drank my "K" tea too!! :)
I did my core strengthening exercises yesterday and today.
I did 500 at level 1's on my elliptical as well yesterday and hope to do them
again today, but worked so we will see!
Doing good!!
BUT I ate a whole bag of Kettle BBQ chips today.
Guess it was 8 servings. Oops! Will count them from now on.
Heck the home made cookies I ate the day before didn't add much
at all, but the chips sure did. Oh good cookies too! A chocolate cookie with walnuts, like a brownie! Then a coconut oatmeal one, chewy nice!
Blessings and Happy Habit's

Happy Mother's Day!!

AND ~~ Happy Forming Consistent Habit's Too!!
Hope all had as nice of a mother's day as i did.
I drank my "K" Tea.
Did not do core last night but did some in the car today.
Drinking more water as I sit here so will make my 8 again.
Still need to list my food, though tonight I am not sure how to?
I had one danish today~ that's easy!
Then my husband sprung for Chinese to bring home so had quite a nice variety of that for dinner and that was it.
I am not getting my couple cheese stick's in I had yesterday or the pop corn or the couple sugar cookies I made. HUMMM ? Need to get this on the list for sure. But least my habit is forming nice so I am not going to beat myself up for it. But will be proud in what I have managed thus far! :)
I saw my mom today, gave her a couple cards and a hanging basket for Geraniums.
Came home and got making a couple different kinds of cookie so I have some to take to my Aspire kids I hope to see tomorrow.
Am meeting a friend and her husband for lunch tomorrow.
BUT before that I am getting my hair cut.
Did this a couple years ago and was not real happy with it, did the things not wanted and left others not wanted. But will try again and not have so many restrictions as well, maybe that will help? I just want to be able to put it up on my head and I don't care for much hair in my eyes.
That's not to much, you think?
Got my car title for paying off my car. Yaaaa Not I need to get in for a
New title. So nice have it paid for.
Now need to get the fuel line cleaned and it will be good to go!
Blessings and Happy Habit's!

Happy Mother's Day!!

Forming Consistent Habit's

I got my food logged in at Sparks.
I drank my "K" tea and made a new batch to ferment. Just have a couple bottles left, so will pour one off in a week and let the other go one more.
I did not do my core yet today. I did manage to get a couple in yesterday. I will go ahead and do some before I go to bed. There low key so I don't think it will hurt for one time. :)
I will see about starting up my elliptical in another couple weeks. REALLY need to get out and Walk! Don't get what is up with me not getting into working out. I grew up loving it and doing it on my own for years. ??
Am doing great with water. I drink my 8 Oz plus on many days!
Blessings and Happy Habit's

Forming Consistent Habit's

OK, I have decided to post all my food intake on my Sparks page instead of here. They track your calories, protein, carb's etc.. You give you weight, which about killed me to even put on there!! It takes your weight and then tells you approximately how many calories etc.. you should have each day.
Will really let me SEE what I am taking in.
There is somewhere on there that tells you how many calories you have burned with what ever physical things you do.
Pretty cool if I can keep my habit going there like I did here!! Means two sight's to get onto. Time Time TIME!! :)
I did do my tracking!!
Had my "K" Tea.
Went to the Doc., but will do more core today and get in a second set.
Drank close to 6 cup's water and will make 8 easy again today.
I am impressed with how this Blog thing I am doing is REALLY helping me.
So glad I decided to do this and give it a go.
Blessing's and~~
Happy Habit's!!! :)

Breakfast was small bowl of oatmeal, toast and past of a banana. Was to ripe, should have cut it into a bowl with sugar.
Went to Thai food for lunch~ Yummmm Never get tired of it, wish I could afford it more often.
Dinner was breaded Flounder, 6 seasoned potato wedges and corn.

Lunch was 2 cheese stick's, 2 carrots and a Fiber One bar.
Dinner~ Hum?? Left overs, see what there is and first come gets there choice! Sounds good to me!
Went to my physical therapist today, not much he can help with I guess. It's looks to be my sacroiliac that is needing rest etc.. He gave me a brace that is just for that, has it's name and everything! He he
Need to go to a pain Doc., now and see if they can help me with that.
I am to call Medical Records and get my file and keep track of all apt., and such. I am guessing in case there is something legal that needs to be done later.
This sure sucks, I have always been so healthy, no troubles that were much of anything. And now here I am! One big time surgery oops and I am still dealing with it's effect's. Shoot!! (yes, thinking another word here!!)
I will just try to stay happy and roll with it till all can hopefully be fixed, straightened out or ? what ever it takes. :)
I did not drink my tea yesterday, but will once I get off this.
Do my simple core strengthening exercise.
Stay Healthy!!
Happy Habit's.

Lunch was late, so was dinner too~had burger king while doing errands in town.
Came home did some chores then off to the movies with my son and

I did my core strengthening a good 3 time, but did several each time.
Had my "K" tea and will go do that for today when off here.
Need to mow today. But have yet to eat something besides a banana and it's about 12:20 already.

Well, I stayed off the elliptical today. Did my 5 hours + of work.
I forgot to do the core strengthening exercises, but will do a couple this evening. Did it 3 times yesterday.
I did drink my tea and got all my major shopping done. Took over 3 hours.
I will be making Cream steak tomorrow night and bought most of what I needed to make stuffed Manicotti this week.
Tonight is Pizza~

Blessing and Happy Habit's!

Forming Consistent Habit's

Worked 5 Hr. today. Back is a bit sore from Doc. apt yesterday so am
going to back off doing the elliptical today. I did spend time rearranging our room yesterday too so think my back will be glad.
I did drink my "K" tea, and did so this morning too!
Had my most common breakfast.
Lunch, a carrot.
Dinner is lightly breaded Flounder, Steak seasoned fries and "fresh" beet's.
My husband is still not feeling good, so he will have Noodle soup. He tried Veg. beef and a pork BBQ burger, but it did not settle well with him.So not real solid food yet for him!
That is it for today!

Well, they have to look through my charts to see what they can do to help my back/hip's etc...
Guess it's harder to fix when there is no actual spine damage, or trauma from like a fall or car wreck.
Gave me one exercise to do to strengthen my core more.
I was needless to say very disappointed.
I am to sleep on the firmer side of the bed.
So I changed our bedroom around.
Looks nice, hope I do a little better.
I had my 2 egg's, toast and a half a grapefruit for breakfast.
Left over Chinese for lunch.
We are having left over pork roast on a bun etc.. like we did last night.
My husband has been having noodle soup for the past few day's sense he has been sick.
My son is getting a school award for his high GPA.
First year in high school and has had A's all year.
We are so proud!
Got my son's bathroom cleaned and fresh rug's laid down.
I did my 600 today and drank my "K" Tea!
Now I need to remember to do this one exercise 4 to 5 times a day!
That will sure be a test for me.
I didn't do any of them today. :(
Will do a couple this evening and then get going with the number I am to do tomorrow!
Blessings and happy Habits

PS~~

I just realized I have been hitting the A vs. the E every time I write consistent.
Shoot, I am a bad speller, but shoot!!
So excuse the miss spelling!
Thanks Me!!

Forming Consistent Habit's

I just know that knowing I am going to be writing on this and being accountable for eating, tea, walk etc.. is helping me to remember.
Least for now.
I will on my own do good for a time, then it stops. If I do this for 2 months, it will be the longest I have remembered to do the things listed consistent. I think 2 weeks is my usual and that is where I am at right now.
I had scrambled eggs, a slice of toast and a banana for breakfast.
Lunch was a Fiber One bar again along with a carrot.
I slow cooked a lean pork roast while working (put in over 5 hours) today.
It pulled apart so nicely, so tender. We will have it on bun's with BBQ sauce on them and cooked pea's.
I did drink my tea again~ Can you feel my proudness!? :)
I did my 600 as well.
Go in for physical therapy tomorrow, sure hope it helps take the pain out of my lower back and hips. Getting more sore as each day passes and I am sleeping so horrible.
But, was a cool stormy day, my sister said they were getting lightening, Man, we missed out on that here. :( But had some great down pours and the rain was actually going sideways on my way home, so cool!!
I tried the sun glasses theory today with the great rain too. It did help me to see better wearing them. Took the glare off the windshield and was able to see through the fog type look you get when it's being kicked up.
Any one out there trying to get consistent with anything yet with me?
Blessings and Happy Habit's.

Forming Consistant Habit's

Hay I remembered again to drink my "K" tea!
I did my 600 steps today too.
Had oatmeal for breakfast with a piece of toast and some home made applesauce, maybe a cup's worth.
Lunch was a small plate of Chinese left overs. Water.
Dinner is baked salmon my husband caught this past fall, fried almond Rice - a - Roni and fresh steamed asparagus.
Wrote a long note to Toyota about the Beaverton office, how I do not trust them to work on my car, lied to and treated like I know nothing about cars with stupid Lie's
Goes further, but Never Go To Beaverton Toyota.
Unless you like being treated like and ignorant idiot. :)
Ticked still after like 3 years.
But wont worry, all comes around one way or another.
Hope your starting or doing good with your habit forming,
it's sure not easy is it?
But it is not impossible!! :)

Forming Consistant Habit's

OK, getting all caught up now, don't I feel better! He he
I took my son for a late breakfast at "I Hop" today. Had one french
pancake with fresh strawberry's, 2 scrambled eggs, 4 pieces of bacon and
a hazelnut coffee. Saw my mom, and had one of her cookies while there.
They found my son a great back pack.
Dinner was at Chan's. Had half a doz.. Mandarin Chicken pieces, about the same BBQ pork and a glass of wine.
Had a few nut's (choc) at home.
I did my 600 steps today And remembered my "K" tea all on my own, today anyhow!
I hope I am on my way to improving in remembering and having better habits.
It's been 2 weeks now. I can not believe I have done this for 2 week's!!
Now, let's see if I can get further. Like 2 months!!
Blessings and Happy Habit's!

Forming Consistant Habit's

Well, I was not able to get on this last night. Was an odd day.
So I am going to catch up on yesterday now.
I had 2 waffles ~ yes home made~ for breakfast. Then my son and I took off for a movie. Lunch was of Sweet's today, Movie Sweet's of course.
No lunch really, had left over Cabbage salad. Think that was it.
Had left over roast for dinner.
Was in a bad mood most of the day for some reason. Let's say Menopause. :)
Did not do my 600 either but did remember my "K" tea! Yaaaa
Pelvic hurting more the last couple day's, will be glad to get into the urologist and find out what is still going on from my botched surgery this past Sep, 09.
Seeing my mom today, they found a back pack for Jacob. His is shredding and falling apart. The one they found is a real good one, may even last him through high school. So 3 years along with the rest of this one. That's would be sweet!
Blessings and Happy Habits to you.
Will be back on tonight for today's logging.

Forming Consistant Habit's

Well, I had plenty of carrot's, but Broccoli sounded good so put it in as well.
Made a nice Cabbage salad, most call it Coleslaw, but mine
I feel is not the same.
It's good, I like it better then any I have had yet.
I still need to do my 600, but worked 8 hours today so may not
have the pep to do so.
I had my 2 egg's, 1 slice toast and banana for breakfast.
Bagel with cream cheese, half a carrot (all that was left!), grapes,
Fiber bar, few Choc., covered almonds and orange things for lunch.
Yes, another moon pie when I got home.
Will be glad when there gone, wont buy them again!
Saw "K" tea on yesterdays blog, and yes I had not drank it yet, so again~ I did so before getting to this. See, it's helping!
Not sure what is for dinner. Most likely left over roast, not real hungry.
Cloudy day.
Good Habits to You!

Forming Consistant Habit's

Hay, I am getting good at writing on here each day! Good feeling.
I had a few Choc., covered almonds yesterday as well as these Choc.
covered Orange stick things. From Trader Jo's.
This morning I had 1/2 a banana.
Didn't have to go work today, last minute change of day's last night.
So I went shopping and had a Jr., Whopper with Sm. Fries and a Iced Mocha.
Had a few more Choc., almonds and a carrot.
And I wonder why I can't loose weight sometimes!!! Hum, I wonder. :)
Tonight we are having a roast with carrots and a few potatoes.
Gosh maybe broccoli, I may not have enough carrots.
I did my 600 today as well.
Want to fertilize outside, but have yet to do that.
I read yesterdays blog before writing this one and saw I was
going to start drinking my "K" tea today.
Oops, I went in and drank some before starting this.
This may be my best help with that one!
Go drink some when I see it here and know I have not.
It's a start anyhow.
Happy Habit's!

Forming Consistant Habit's

Well, I did not do my 500 last night. Just to sore and tired from work.
Dinner was good, had beets with it.
I worked 5 hours today AND came home and did my elliptical later before cooking dinner. I did 600 tonight. Yaaa
Had my same breakfast, sure you know what! Had some grapes, a carrot and Carmel breakfast bar and a small slice of a club sub type sandwich with the Lady I helped today.
I have been drinking close (to if not more) 3 bottles of water. I re-use the Sibbie bottles. Run them through the dish washer. they hold 20 oz., of water. I have filtering pictures we use for drinking and making coffee.
Had home made sour dough hot cakes for dinner with egg's and applesauce. Yes, it's home canned. I made the sour dough starter in like 86 I think. Made during apple blossom season, you can even still smell the apple it collected from the air if you close your eyes and Smell for it.
I think it's getting time to try to add my "K" (kubatcha tea) tea to my daily diet. One I have a heck of a time remembering to drink every day.
So, I will try to start that tomorrow. With health issues I am hoping it will help resolve or help them some.
Blessings and happy habit making! :)

Forming Consistant Habit's

I did do my 500 last night, but did not do more. Knee's were a bit sore, so maybe tonight! I had another moon pie yesterday too, ate it while watching Shallow Hal, seemed appropriate! :)
I did clean for over 7 hours today so I did get a good going over.
Had my 2 egg's, 1 piece toast and banana this morning. Doing so many hours I had a half a bagel with cream cheeses, a raw carrot, about 12 to 15 grapes, 2 cheese sticks and a Fiber Carmel bar. Water of course. Doing a bit better with water. Did drink more last night as I will this evening as well. We are having fried Polish sausage tonight,(I usually bake it but this sounded better) baked beans and salad. It's dark and cloudy out today. Say's cozy up worm to me.
Love the clouds out there. Sprinkling some, sure the yard is loving it. Know the birds are. We have some living in the side and all 4 corners of our house. Gosh think we need to reside??? :) I am going to get one side at least done this year.
Time to get dinner going.

Forming Consistant Habit's

I did get back on the elliptical last night for another 500 steps.
I have been setting the machine for 2 and 2 which ad's resistance
on a couple different levels.
It's more then I use to do which was none. I was able to do 1000 with
nothing punched in, so I am sure I am getting more from the step up in difficulty.
I had my usual 2 eggs, 1 large slice toasted home made baggers bread.
My favorite so far. Then my 1 banana.
Worked cleaning for just over 5 hours today. Will still get on and do my 500 or more tonight maybe! I would say it's about time to do more.
Went to town for a couple things and got a Jr. Whopper w/ fries and a root bear.
Got the small size. The whopper is the best calorie wise etc.. the most healthy of what they have. Not quite sure how to say that, but think one gets it.
I did refrain from getting a candy bar at the store, but a couple nights ago I had a scoop of Choc., Ice cream with Choc. on top~ :). Not sure if I wrote that in here either, hum maybe read my own blog! Did eat the last of my kettle cooked BBQ chips last night. Yumm
We are having left over spiral cut ham tonight, Man it was good. They always give you this gold Pkt., of spice and ? to glaze it with. Heck, I like to take that and add some brown sugar, bottled Smoky flavor and some honey to it, less water too I think! Heat it a bit to blend, then put it on, between if you can and back in at a higher temp for about 10 min., Don't want to cook it off, so not long.
Will make a salad to go with the ham. Want to use the last of my zucchini before it goes bad. Have some red chard to put in it as well. Little fresh permission ready in it's grater for on top.
Sure glad I mowed this past weekend, rain is just beginning. The Mock Crab apple is just about done with it's fluffy pink and white blooms. They almost look like marshmallows. Tulips are just starting to show themselves in my yard, while the daffodils are way gone. My Peony look nice this year, should put cages around them, the blooms are so heavy they always end up on the ground.
The Red Bud trees are quite showy with there beautiful stunning bright pink nubs all over there branch's. The Morning Star have been blooming each day for over a week now, sure there time is soon to end till next year.
I Love this time of year, so many things coming to life, showing there wonder. I believe I have something that blooms each month of the year now. :0
I have had over a 22 Oz bottle of water already today. I drank close to 3 of them yesterday. Hope to do the same today.
Time to go look at the great clouds Oregon gets, put dinner in to start worming and watch a bit of news. Then the cooking channel. Would be fun to be a good enough cook to go on one of those shows wouldn't it?
Happy Habit Making To You!! :)

Forming Consistant Habits

I had me 2 egg's, 2 small pieces if toast and a banana for breakfast.
Lunch~ well a banana moon pie and string cheese.
I know, not the best thing I could have shoved in my mouth.
I did my elliptical already today and hope to get on it again in a awhile
to make up for yesterday.
I sprayed weeds in the yard front and back! Did driveway/road, edging's, garden, careful spot spraying in the beds as well. Nice to have done.
I am hoping it will help me to cut back on all the hand weeding I do.
Can here all sorts of yard equipment going on around the neighborhood today.
Work starts tomorrow. Busy week ahead.
Laundry is done and house looks pretty good so just dinner to do.
I am cooking a spiral ham for dinner.
Maybe Au Gratin potatoes and fresh Broccoli.
Hope Habits are coming along for any trying to get them together like me!

Forming Consistant Habit's

Did my steps last night, had a moon pie too!
Ended up having left over BBQ turkey on a bun for lunch yesterday.
Today~
Had 3 egg's for breakfast, 2 bananas and 1 piece of toast.
Man did I wake up hungry.
Woke up late so I ate a late "B" , no lunch due to that.
We had the other pizza I bought for dinner tonight.
Plus had a small bowl of Chocolate Ice Cream.
Got my Big lawn all mowed today, hope to do some weeding
tomorrow and maybe more edging dug.
But did not do my elliptical today, maybe I can get 2 in tomorrow!
How are my habits doing, OK, how about yours?

Forming Consistant Habit's

Nice to have the bulk shopping done.
Had my 2 egg's this morning, 1/2 piece of toast and 1/2 grapefruit with honey.
Lunch~ Hum??? Think I forgot lunch with the running around.
Cheese stick time! :)
Have had coffee but need to get the water bottle out. Think it's Pizza tonight.
Need to do my steps yet.
Hay, a short one!! I am a long hand winded person, there will be
long ones, trust me!

TA DA, heading to bed, but remembered to write on here.
Worked 4 1/2 hours cleaning today. Same breakfast as yesterday.
Lunch was toasted English Muffin with crunchy P.B. cheddar cheese
stick, water. Oh and a banana. Dinner, I had a left over piece of lasagna and a brownie. Water!! Did my 500 + elliptical steps too!
Maggy got her stitches out, but has a pouched out area that we are hoping is not her intestines coming through the wall inside like they found it during surgery.
Major shopping tomorrow then I hope to get this big lawn mowed.
Off to bed. Good evening!

Forming Consistant Habit's

Hay, here I am ~ I didn't forget!
I did get on the elliptical for my 500 step's yesterday.
Got most of the house cleaned.
Had last nights leftovers (& water!) for lunch and dinner we had pan fried pork chops with seasoned potato wedges, a huge salad with all sorts of good veggies in it (even zucchini, try it, it's wonderful), home made ranch dressing and brownies for desert.
Had two fried eggs, home made egg toast and 1/2 banana for breakfast today. Cleaned a house ~~ about 4 hours, couple stops on the way home and besides water was hungry so stopped for Jr. burger w/ fries and a root bear~ which I am still drinking. Dinner, good question, thinking maybe the lasagna I made a while back and froze would be good. Have some fresh Egg bread just made yesterday, the left over salad. What for desert? Maybe get the blackberry's I froze out and ???
I list Water because (for one was told to drink more) I need to drink it on a regular basis vs. only good on the days I work. I don't even work part time, I just don't think of it when I am not sweating up a storm I guess!
It's a memory thing. Sense it goes with food, it makes sense to have it with this first goal of mine.
It's how long will I keep this up that I keep having come up from the back of my mind. Will I do great for a couple weeks, then Nothing?? How long should I write on this before it's a good long lasting habit? I know ~ All great questions!
If anyone does read this, Hello? ~ he he~ it will most likely be more for what I make for meals and what I get canned during the summer and the foods I store.
Hay, Maybe I will write down how I do each when I get there. Maybe, just maybe someone will read it and Go shoot I can do that and get there own fresh food goodies stored for later.
I have yet to do my elliptical today. Help another lady tomorrow. Good 4 to 5 hours there. My Kitty gets her sutures taken out tomorrow from the dog next door, when he attacked her a couple weeks ago. The dog was put down as it has been after more then our cats.
Been a nice day!

OOpps an addition to 4/13/10

I actually wrote down dinner from Sunday not Monday!!
I am good!
So, I had for dinner Last Night~ Steak Stroganoff with corn and milk.

Consistant Habits

Oppp's, missed yesterday. But that's OK, here I am. Building a habit! :)
I worked at the high school yesterday. I became a mentor with ASPIRE
which is a group of volunteer's who help kids work towards there future.
Help them with class choices, staying focused on grades, looking at what
they love and how to make it part of there future, looking at colleges and funding ect.. it is quite cool and a great opportunity for kids.
I spent a good part of the rest of the day and evening putting together my
materials I need to work with in a binder.
I got on the elliptical for 500 steps yesterday but that was about it.
Just could not get motivated.
So today I am going to see about getting on it earlier and see if that helps get
my body moving better. Picking what to start with first to build a habit
is almost as hard as making the habit! Surprised me for sure.
SO, I am going to work on doing at the least 500 on the "E" each day and
try to get food I eat written down. I forget what I ate many times by the
next day so this really is a must I think so I can see just how much I am eating.
Yesterday I had 2 egg's and 1/2 home made wheat toast
with 1/2 of a banana and coffee. (7:30 am)
With being gone at the school I didn't eat again till I got home at 2 pm.
Had a couple pieces of home made Wheat Germ white bread and a couple cheese sticks, water. Dinner was shredded chicken with BBQ sauce mixed in
and put on hamburger buns, green beans and milk. Ate a few mini licorice mix (candy). Seems like there was something else, but ????
I had a bowl of Frosted Flakes and 1/2 banana with coffee this morning.
Have some Egg bread in the machine.
Time to go E Walk now!!
May very well have to get on this again tonight!
Blessings to all trying to make habits and better themselves mentally! :)

Forming Consistant Habits

Most people have some trouble with memory. But sometimes it can get out of hand out of mind! I am so wanting to get regular with exercising, writing down what I eat, drinking my "K" (Kubatcha Tea) tea each day, I love and want to sew, see it sitting there every day but never touch it. Learn how to work my camera and get it on my sights! I can't even take vitamins each day when I am on them for my week, or my estrogen patch, (which I just stopped due to this) I don't care where I set them out at or what note I set out, does not matter, does not help!
Why Can I not Remember the simplest of these things to do or get the ambition to get going with other thing I don't forget. I will be heading out to work and then go "OH I forgot to take my or do my ~~ what ever!" Drives me nuts.
It is a choice I know that, so why have I not been able to get it together!!
So what's going on, besides procrastination? I know I am not loosing my memorie (or mind) as I sure remember what to do daily.
So I have decided maybe if I start by writing here, making it a habit, then I will add one thing on, write it in here each day, when I see it is consistent, then add another. I am on this almost everyday anyhow.
So starting today, April 11Th~ This is my first Post to get me back into my life and head! This will be my journal, or diary. which ever, it is going to be what my mind puts into writing to help me find ~ Me I guess?
If anyone reads this and wants to join in my discovery, send me your thoughts and what is helping you!
I am sure there is no one reading this lazy silly sight

Here it is, 2010. I have my new camera, but am still waiting to get help on how to get it on this. Hope the new year has gone well. I hope to actually have a blog that is a working blog someday! :)
