Hello all, here's what's up

[Pony]

I know that I have been so very busy lately that I haven't really been posting. So...... I thought I would check in and write a bit on what's been happening.


I have been loaded down at work with lots of end of the year field trips these past few weeks. I also had to go through some training for my renewal on my certificate.....both written and driving tests are now over and I passed both with no problems.

There have been lots of other little things also that have been keeping my preoccupied and away from here. My normal trying to keep up with things around the home and my endless organizational job in my bedroom. Still have boxes of stuff to go through and find a place for, and an endless laundry detail. ugh!

Also, since my mom's boyfriend had to move to go help take care of his mother, it has put me right back to looking after mine. So now I am having to combine her errands with mine. Not to mention other help that she is in need of. I am finding it very hard to get any "me" time in....even worse than before. And if I don take any, I feel guilty and think of ways to justify it. Probably sounds silly, but that's what I do. I do have some time coming up in about two weeks where I will have the week off. It is inbetween reg. school ending and summer school beginning, so I thought I would take that time just for me.....and a little of me and my daughter also. I have stuff I want to accomplish and some much needed rest also. Plan lots of pool time that week !!! My daughter will like that one.

Anyway, when summer school starts I won't be online here until latel nights, because I work a full day in which I will not be near the computer until later on. Just for FYI in case anyone would be wondering.

I have been swimming these last few days and it has felt great. Started doing the routine I had done last year and I feel it working already. Exercising in the water is really good and I am trying very hard to work with that water resistance.

My eating, well, that still needs lots of work, but well it is a life long plan.


I am a work in progress !!

Hi Pony,
I'm so glad to see you here. We are all a work in progress, just as you say that you are, but I think that your saying it is a positive affirmation. Glad to hear that you got those certificates renewed.

I'll bet you had lots of fun going to those field trips with the kids. I know that I would've enjoyed doing that. You probably got some exercise doing it, too. And swimming is supposed to be extremely good exercise. And if you're doing it outside, you will also get the vitamins that you need from the fresh air and sunshine.

It sounds like, all you really need to do now, is focus on your food plan and eating plan. I am learning alot recently, about just how important this part is, in how we feel and think, which comes out in how we act and what we say. Maybe if you sit down and write out a specific eating plan, it would help to have a visual structured plan to work from. You might feel more grounded in your eating program. I'm about to do that myself is why I bring it up and I'm thinking that it will help me alot. You know, not so much specific foods, as an eating outline for my day. We'll see how it goes anyway.

I hope that this post makes any sense at all. LOL !!!! I'm writing it while I'm trying to think about it for myself. ~?~!~?~!~?~!~?~?~?~~~ I hope that you're having a wonderful day. ((((((((HUGS))))))))

Thanks for the support Nina, means alot to me.

I keep trying to do those food plans, and fall short of follow through. But I, of coarse will try again till I get it right.

I hope it goes better for you.
