A New Day!

Posted February 29, 2008 * Comments(4)

Alright, I’m done now!! (eating crap that is) I’m feeling better health wise just still have a cough. So, the sun is shining!! I’m going to at least check out my new cardio DVD. If that’s too difficult I”ll do my pilates. I HAVE to do something.

I just heard from my mom. She already has a new job and an apartment to move in to next weekend. She sounds all giddy. Wow, how fast our lives can change!! Both of my parents sound happier. I have to believe their splitting is meant to be because all of these changes are just flowing. We all thought my dad would be helpless and he rose to the occasion by being responsible. He has a plan. He’s being very real and down to earth about this. I’m almost thinking maybe they could be friends.(not close friends but at least very civilized) Uh ho it’s snack time for the kiddies. Thanks for the support!!! :mrgreen: >

Carbin Out!!!!

You guys!! I’m being sooo naughty!! It’s like I’m just giving up for a day. Should I continue and have pizza for dinner?
Obviously I’m doing a little emotional eating today. First, I had graham crackers with chocolate frosting, then some oatmeal with brown sugar, Ramen noodles, a Big bowl of cookie ice cream, and some chips and salsa. ugh!! I feel better just admitting it. I feel like crap from eating crap too!
still coughing my head off :mad: Tomorrow will be a better day!!

Have a good one!

doing good!

Oh my goodness! My dh and I went to my dad’s tonight to help him weed through all of the bills he has been left with. He has never taken care of any of the finances. I kind of dreaded it because I didn’t know if he would be falling apart and then I would cry and so on….
He was very calm and he apologized to me for their marriage not working out. He admitted that it was both of them. I’m so relieved that he is handling things so well. I think he is going to be very happy. Ya know, it was really nice going there and not feeling the tension. My mom used to be so uptight and my dad wouldn’t say a word. I do believe everything is going to be alright with the world again!! I’m trying to get over bronchitis now!! I think everyone in the state is sick.
When I”m sick though I take it easy and then my back symptoms get better. Go figure!!

I must go to bed now. My throat hurts :cry: I’m going to go raid the medicine cabinet and snooze! :wink:

more turbulance

Oh this journey of life is so very interesting! My life is anyway!!

My mom left my dad last week. She’s getting divorce papers tomorrow and will be moving 1 1/2 hours away. (I”m thankful she’ll still be close) My beloved Granny is going with her!! :sad:
My sister (with 5 kids) lives in this town and I also have 2 uncles there. My Granny will be so happy there. I’m really going to miss her though. This will make me do a bit more traveling.
So, I now come from a broken home. My parents have been married for 38 years!! (most of them pretty unhappy) but I have a talent of living in denile so I always thought I had a nice family life. Sure, my dad threw stuff and broke it, screamed and swore, actually drove his truck into our house because my sis was on the phone!! (these were his drinking days). He was a Vietnam War Veteran.

He was always good to me though. Besides not providing his family with food a lot of the time. This might be why I gained weight right away when I moved out.

Anyway, my mom has had a miserable life and I know this is now her time to shine. I love both of my parents. There are reasons people do the things they do. They might not be right but things happen that make all of us do stuff that we wish we hadn’t. I seriously just figured this out last year!! (thanks to my buddyslim friends) I was told “we are all flawed” I figured out very soon after that message that forgiving is a beautiful gift to ourselves.
It’s just weird, I’m not sure what to tell my 5 year old son. He used to want to be with them all of the time. I know I”ll figure it out. I have also asked both of my parents to please not rip on each other in my presence. I want to remain neutral and I hope that my kids will still get to know and love both of them.
This is getting too long. I better get to bed also. I’m really going to try to check in everyday from now on. Sweet dreams every buddy!!!

a month gone by already!!

Hi !

Through this last month I’ve realized a lot!! Most people have some kind of health problem. We’re lucky if it’s one that doesn’t take our life! (not that being with God is a bad thing) but, we by nature are here to kick and fight to stay here right? We just don’t know any better!!
I saw a specialist in St. Cloud and got 2 injections in my SI joints. (which have never been mentioned in my care before) It’s like a vampire bite right on the top of my butt crack!!
This was last Wednesday. I went nuts on my house work all weekend. It was like getting a new sports car!! Vroom Vroom!! Until yesterday I felt like a new woman! I swear, I’ll never learn!!

I’m starting to do some walking. I buddied up with a Curves friend and we walk around the college here in town. Tomorrow will be our second trip. Last time we did just over a mile. I hope to get up to 2 or 3 very soon. I really am done being fat!!

I know I’ve been a crap friend on here. Thanks if I still have any of my ole buddy’s!
