Day 68 of 365

It's a little bit funny yesterday one of my friends from work commented to me about reading this blog and how she wants to comment on things but didn't know if it was ok. Of course it is more than ok. I mean I am primarily writing this blog for myself, when I used to go to the life coach she told me I should journal, and I did a horrible job of keeping up with that, but for some reason I have been able to keep up with this...so what was I eluding to? Oh, that's right! What I was wanting to say is that I also write this in the hope that it will help someone else. So, please comment away. Sometimes I wonder if anyone besides my mom and one of my bff's and a some ladies from sparkpeople even read it.

I know it shouldn't matter but I am one of those people that need that response, I guess that's why I check the stats on my blog like 5 times a day. Just to see how many people are reading it and which days they are reading.

So, what crazy thing happened today? I went to the Plant City Strawberry festival and saw the sites with my mom and my bff, not the one that reads my blog but the one that thinks he is featured in it on a regular basis even though he generally is not and he would know this if he read this. So, i have to share with you a few things about it...

Fact 1: It was Senior Citizen day so there were walkers, scooters and canes oh my!

Fact 2: It amazed me that there were so many artery clogging fair food stands when the featured strawberries are very low in Saturated Fat, Cholesterol and Sodium.It is also a good source of Folate and Potassium, and a very good source of Dietary Fiber, Vitamin C and Manganese. There weas chicken on a stick, corndogs (small, medium and giant), polish sausage with peppers and onions, deep fried everything and bacon dipped in chocolate. If you don't believe me check out the picture.(and yes, it was pretty good.)

Fact 3: Toby Mac is a bigger draw than Charlie Daniels. Strange but true.

Fact 4: All of the restrooms at the fair had bathroom valets. They were there to direct traffic and make sure the bathrooms stayed neat and tidy. All I can say is that would be a pretty crappy job... lol! (pun totally intended)

Fact 5: I'd do it all over again tomorrow if I could.

Love, peace and sometimes you just have to try those weird things fried up in grease

Day 649...Year 2 #RememberingCory

Tonight the TV show Glee memorialized Finn Hudson, who had been played by actor Cory Montieth, until his death this summer... I was a beautiful tribute to the character of Finn... The music was incredibly heart wrenching and I'm sure I am not alone when I say that I cried from the moment Mercedes' music began until the screen went to black at the end of the episode... I admire the writers of Glee for how they handled his passing, by not putting a name to it's cause; despite everyone knowing the actual cause of Cory's death... I know the cast were following their scripts, but I believe their emotions were true... The one thing I wish they would have played was a montage of Finn's character, perhaps with "Don't Stop Believing" as the background music... That was the song that started it all for the show and I believe it is the one everyone that is a fan remembers the most... This show allowed us as fans, a true opportunity to mourn Cory's pa

So, the phonelines are down at my house so no internet but thamlfully my phone is cooperating with me. so this may come as a shock to some but I started seeing an acupuncturists last week to help me with my sinus problems. I can hear some of the critics now saying I'm going against my beliefs but I believe it takes just as much space to trust in eastern medicine as it does in western medicine, besides I believe that God led me to a place that can finally help me feel better without having to take all of those medicines all the time. since december I have been to the doctor every month at least once a month for a sinus infection, in the past week I have slept so well and I am finally breathing better. I thank God everyday for bringing this place to my attention and for allowing me to trust this was the right move for me. what I am learning from this is that when you focus on taking care of 1 party your body many times it will also help another part of your body. just like when y

A new chapter

This has been an incredible year a half since I  began my bariatric journey and it is far from over...that is why it's a journey and not a race because there really is no end. Each day is about the choices we make and how they pan out. I will be the first to say that not all of my choices are correct but I try and learn from those decisions and move forward yet there are still lessons I have to go through over and over before it clicks. One of those being my love of food. You would think that bariatric surgery fixes that but the only thing that fix anything is making a decision to be better. All surgery does is makes your stomach smaller but even that cant fix your problems. Yes I have lost a tremendous amount of weight in a short time but I also had to decide to change how I eat. Yes, my tiny tummy talks to me and tells me what does and doesnt make it happy but if I choose not to listen and listen to my cravings, yes I still have them, I pay the price over and over.... Like
