Well, this one is almost me today this month, except substitute the words "time for a book" for "TV" and "time for sleep" for "beer" and I'd have to say we're damned close. I haven't had the chance to enjoy kickboxing in weeks, and I'm sure there are some at the mats who wonder if … Continue reading Putting all you enjoy on the back-burner because of work…
After being sick for three days, eating mostly Ramen soup and drinking my weight in tea (and honey, until my throat felt better), let's just say I was itching for something a bit more normal to me. Of course, by "normal" that unfortunately means junk food and sweets more than anything else. I had to … Continue reading I might have accidentally done something stupid that could curb my junk cravings (hopefully for good)…
My Copy: 9780470523018 (image from bn.com) Well, when you have to try and take care of yourself better, but don't want to rely on family scare tactics or a diagnosis that doesn't tell you much about what to expect or do, then this is a great book to use. It's pretty self-explanatory as far as … Continue reading Prediabetes for Dummies, by Alan L. Rubin, MD
I was hoping when I got home tonight I'd have some time to cook or clean, or just finish one of the books I've been trying to finish for weeks. But now I sit here, an inch away from falling asleep, after working a near 12 hour shift because nobody else could work. And because … Continue reading Fighting the fog…
Why I'm not sitting here listening to "Time" from The Dark Side of the Moon album on repeat makes me wonder. When things are bombarding me right and left, for some reason, that's the song I play the most. Work has been insane. One co-worker got strep throat and couldn't work one morning, so I … Continue reading Time management vs. what you want to do most…
I've lost count how many times I've started this 12 week program, only to stop around week 4 or 5 (I made it to week 8 at one point. It's not like it's a crazy boot camp or anything like that. Rather, it's that even though I wanted my creativity to flourish and take over, … Continue reading Beginning “The Artist’s Way” morning pages… again.
Funny how this is the stereotypical day for "new life, new you" thinking, and the day when everybody posts their goals and the things they want changed at the turn of the calendar. Mine's a little different. I am going through my book list and seeing what I should tackle this year (leaving some lee-way … Continue reading Being overly ambitious with your goals, & getting away from that.
In essence, my future is a black hole. I suppose that's true for most of us, but I'm really in a strange state regarding my job right now. My boss is leaving the job after next week, and I'm really bummed out about it. I wondered what would happen to the place if she were … Continue reading Looking into the black hole, and I can’t see the safety net.
Naturally, health is going to be on the list. The difficulty is this week especially, I have to focus on finances and getting things corrected before all the tax season stuff gets really going. That's what I hate the most, but today and tomorrow I'm dedicating myself to getting it all cleared up as best … Continue reading Playing with New Years Resolutions. Learning how to prioritize me.
My Copy: 9781520944470 (image from goodreads.com) I was recently diagnosed as anemic as well as pre-diabetic (which is it's own minefield I'm tackling soon), and felt completely overwhelmed with what I needed to do to start doing better for myself and get back on track. I'd had no energy in months and was just generally … Continue reading Low Iron Diet: Food Advice for Iron Deficiency Anemia, by Amanda Bassett
