Day 408...Year 2

I love taking trips down memory lane with friends and you find out, even though you haven't know each other that long, a lot of the memories of shows you watched when you were younger were the same shows they watched as well... Like for example me and B both grew up watching reruns of the Monkees...

Davy, Mickey, Peter and Mike are one of my favorite bands of all time as well as members of my favorite TV show... Their music was a huge part of my teenage years, despite the fact that their music was popular 20 years before that time... My friends and I loved listening to their music and watching their shows... I loved and still do love Davy, while my BFF - Mitchelle loved Mickey... In 7th grade, three of us performed a lip-sync routine to "I'm Gonna Buy Me a Dog," in our schools talent show.... We also got to repeat our performance at our local mall for a school art fair and then again when we auditioned for the Television Lip Sync Contest, "Puttin' on the Hits." Of course we didn't make it past the auditions but we had a fun time doing it...

Sometimes we get so wrapped up in our lives that we don't take the time to remember the little things that used to bring us so much joy... This is exactly what we need to do in those moments where we are feeling sad and blue... We remember those little things that brought sunshine into our day... Maybe it's putting on some oldies but goodies and singing along or splashing through the rain puddles after a rain storm or licking the remaining batter out of the bowl when you make brownies for a friend... Find that little thing that can bring back the happy again...

Love, peace and find your happy thoughts...

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

Day 159 of 366

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
