Day 122 of 365

Sometimes I sit down to write and I am like, oh crap I wrote some really great blogs recently (yes, I am tooting my own horn), and now what am I going to write about today that can live up to that? I don't have any exciting stories about others, I don't feel like I have any little pearls of wisdom. Today was just a good day. I had some fantastic interactions with the great people I work with, I made some people laugh and realize it is OK to have fun at your job. It's OK to act silly and look like a fool because you probably won't ever see those people again and if by chance you do they are going to remember you because you made an impact on them.

So many people I know waste their lives being quiet and keep to themselves and aren't up for putting themselves out there and allow themselves the freedom of having fun. At the end of their lives they have tons of regrets over the things they never did because if the fear. I know I have said it before but it bears repeating. If you don't allow yourself to be open to new experiences than you will never have great adventures. I used to live my life ordering chicken fingers. Yes, chicken fingers. Then one day I took a chance and got adventurous and opened up myself to trying something new. I haven't looked back since. I thank my BFF for helping explore my pallet and realizing their is more to life than just Chicken Fingers.

For some people it's Chicken fingers and some it's talking to strangers, but whatever is your personal jail, take a step to break out and find a new kind of freedom!

Love, Peace and freedom from chicken fingers!!!

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
