It seems like it has been a long time since I blogged, but it has only been a day. lol
I have been very busy getting things organized in my mind, my computer and my household. I haven't been keeping up with my blessings on here, but I am remembering them every day. Sometimes not right away in the am. Still have that "I don't want to get up" sort of feeling.
I had decided that I really needed to pare down on my yahoogroups. I did that, cut them about in half. I had to make some hard decisions. Mostly I have the groups I own or moderate left, some small support groups, and then basically newsletters. That is it. I need to spend more time focusing on the Lord and doing what He would want me to do. I also needed to spend more time with my family and doing things around the house than I have been. I know that there is a lot of pain issues that I have, and so that makes me want to occupy my mind more with the computer, and that is what I have been doing. I can do that with reading also. I love to read and have so many books that I am not getting to, that I really need to add that into my things to do. I also want to be more organized with cleaning, I am going to start focusing on my eating habits more and make more difficult lifestyle changes. I am also going to start exercising. I did enjoy it when I was Jazzercising, but there isn't one of those around here now. I did order a video for people with health problems. An aerobic workout. They say it is for people that are large sized (me
) and with health problems such as fibromyalgia, back pain, and other problems. I think that it starts out slow and then you can add things if you need to. I am looking forward to getting it. 
I have been doing okay with my eating. Here is my food for yesterday:
Slim Fast 220 2.5
Pears 217 0.3
Tuna 198 1.38
Mac & cheese 410 18.5
Slim Fast 220 2.5
Chow mein noodles 119 6.92
-------------------------------------------------------------
Total 1384 32.10
I think I am doing okay today too
I have been trying to catch up on my SIR's, so I am making my rounds today, just wanted to try and put something up here so that I wouldn't fall behind in so many areas... I hate being behind....
I also unpacked some boxes with books and put them on the shelves, dusted a bit, and did some laundry.
It has been a pretty good day, especially after my night last night, which was not pretty at all. I was yelled at on an email group about something that didn't happen. It was simply the way it was percieved, and I simply do not handle anger very well, especially unjustifiec anger. I get that a lot in my life. My mother does this in my opinion, and I just don't handle it well coming from others. Anyway. I try to give it to God and let Him take care of it for me. I am doing better today. My head is swimming from an oncoming migraine so I am going to go lay down for now and see if that helps.

Are you sure I did not post this particular blog to the wrong site? I could have written you blog today except for the fibro stuff! I love our little circle of friends here at xanga, we all have so much in common.
I am feeling a bit overwhelmed today and scattered so this comment blog will probably seem that way, too. I enjoy your blog so much and wanted to say so. I also wanted to thank you for the advice on my boy's diapers and antibiotics. He loves yogurt and we have been letting him eat some with his medication at breakfast. It seems to have helped and the diapers have slowed way down. The first 48 hours are always the worst when they are on Augmentin.
We used to live in Kansas in Wichita (or just north in Park City). We enjoyed our time up there even though it was short. If you do not mind me asking, where do you live? If you do not want to say or you want to e-mail me off the xanga stuff that would be fine, too.
We are leaving town on Monday but I just wanted to let you know I enjoy all that you share. Keep it up! I'll see you when we get back in about a week.
Blessings,
I have been dealing with some online stuf lately too so I feel for you! It really hurts to know that "friends" are not who they portrayed themselves out to be! I really hope and pray that you like the video that you ordered and that you are able to start doing it and start to feel good about yourself! I know how hard it is to get motivated, but once you do you will have so much energy that you won't want to sit down in front of the pc :cool: :cool:
Hi Deb! It's Julia from the Yahoo Groups! I saw you posted at BookDiva628's blog, my good friend Sarah's. She and I are working through this devotional together; the link to the book is on my new devotional blog: BookDiva13
Love, Julia
Thank you for subbing. I really like your site- it's very savy compared to my humble little site. I wouldn't even have a banner, but another one of my subscribers made it for me a while back.
I just want to encourage you on your journey to get healthier. I once weighed 220 and started excersizing and eating better and lost over 60 lbs. It is difficult at first, but it gets easier, I assure you. I started walking on the treadmill at the Ymca- 5 or 6 days a week at first, because I was too out of shape to do a class. After a few weeks, I started water aerobics, after I got better at that, I started doing just a half hour of land aerobics and eventually I was able to work up to the whole 1 hour class.
I loved it so much that eventually the aerobics coordinator asked me if I would be interested in teaching. I was shocked, but I did it and taught for two years. I taught cycle, weight lifting, step and pilates.
I really think the key to weight loss is mixing weight lifting with aerobics. A lot of the bigger gyms have these types of classes. Once I started lifting weights, the weight just seemed to fall off of me quicker than anything. (but I'm sure you know this, since you are in the medical field)
Keep up the good work- you'll get there sooner than you think.
Thanks for subbing
Im gonna be back later as it is 5 am here! lol
(((HUGS)))
Hi Deb, it's nice to meet you. You have such a beautiful site.
I've been struggling with some similar issues to what I've read here, so I'm sure I'll be a frequent visitor.
Thanks for stopping by my site. Your site is beautiful, BTW. To answer the question you left, the divorce papers say when Coty becomes a teenager that he will be striving to gain his independence and that all rigid visitation scedules end. HOORAY!!!! Which means if he tells his mother he has a football game to go too or anything else for that matter when she wants to visit, she has to respect his wishes!!!! Coty has missed out on so many opportunities so far due to her, in October that will finally end!!!!!!
:bighug:
