Deleting Negatives

Sometimes in life we become intwined with something or someone that we know is a negative influence but we hope for change. Then one day you wake up and realize that what you thought was there never really was so you throw out the garbage. I used to think that everyone had good in them but now I realize that there are some people that are just bad and they are toxic to be around.

Geez

I had such pain that I didn't want to go to work today, but remembered it was QAI day and clinic visits. Did go to chiropractor today and had a massage. Muscles in neck and trap muscles are so tight that causing pain and poor alignment. Entire massage was spent with therapist trying to get muscles in upper back and neck to release.

Let me make it completely through one day

I did good until this evening and then I ate extras. Stomach was upset. I ate some crackers and bread also. I ate too much of each. Way too much... Damn it. Of course I did not measure it. Probably a denial of it. I bought a couple of full length mirrors to see where I am and check form when exercising.

Today is Mom and Dad's 60th Anniversary

Happy Anniversary! Unless I get married immediately and live to be 107 then I can never be married at long as mom and dad. God Bless them!!!

I need to get myself healthy so my elderly parents don't have to wory about me too.

The Crap weekend

Don't know why I still cared for POS guy in my life. I found out he had lied to me and he went off on me like I was the one doing wrong. To make it worse I saw evidence that his habits are leading them down the toilet drain...straight down in a hurry. As mad as I was at him, he was pathetic... what he had become.

Need to have a turn around

I started out the day thinking I would do the Master Cleanse but I did not make it far. My stomach started burning and i was asked to lunch. Tomorrow is another day.

Checking out Ethnic grocery stores

I went to Nashville today to check out ethnic grocery stores. Found an awesome indian foods store, a huge asian and mexican foods store, and a smaller asian foods store. I bought way too much. I have rice noodles to make pancit, several spices, marinades without MSG, some vegetables, and various colors of lentils and beans.

TGIF day

Friday... yay. Soooo much to do at work today but need to get off early. Worked extra other days.

ohhhh, my stomach does not feel good this am. I have an evening shift to see so I will go into work a little later.

Happy Birthday to Me!

Would have been a happier day if I did not have to work. I worked late yesterday and want to go to bed early today. Probably was a 12 hour day yesterday. Had hoped to leave work early today but that did not happen.

Sooo tired

I worked a long long day... Feel tired and frazzled. Already dread going to work tomorrow. Heaven forbid should we be on the floor during change over. Never in ten years have had a nurse talk to me like one did and in front of a patient. It could only be described as her being a bitch to me... an absolute bitch and without a reason to act that way either other than my being present on the floor. Really makes me not want to work there. Ready to check into renting property in greensboro and breathing easier

Feel better

Feeling better today than yesterday, but feel tired. Woke up yesterday feeling like I would throw up and felt bad all day. Last night had stabbing pain in neck and head. Found a way to stretch neck and it relieved the pain. It has felt like a pinched nerve... must have freed it. Had a hard time actually waking up but felt ok. Off from work now. Since on new med... seem to have hot flashes from 3 to 5 and then just feel very tired. It is 6:20 and I feel ready for a nap now.

I got lost

I found my blog page and I failed on the follow through for the journey to health. The only positive change that I have made is drinking more water and far less diet drinks. I have been trying not to have them at all at home and just one in the morning. My old camcorder stopped working and I got a new pocket one today. I have it charging now.

Not so good

I called Harvey's gym today and left a message but no one called back. I called them a few times. The rain today was horrible and a lot of areas had flooding. Tommy sent me pictures of water up to the door of their house.



I did not do so well with my diet. I fried chicken breast instead of grilling or baking and had portion sizes that were too large. I had lite microwave popcorn. Let's see did I have my 5 fruits and vegetables today. Banana, Strawberries, potatoes, salad... yes there were 5+portions.



I also had a sugar baby candy from the dollar store.



I had sugar free popscicles but they were ok.



OK now for how I felt. I had a headache most of day and now it feels like neck tension. I found my tens unit. Thank you god. I have it running on my neck now.



I think I let relationship issues and depression affect my eating. I also feel like I have a hormone inbalance right now that has made me feel very irritated today. I think the antibiotics for the cold caused it.



Review of food for the day shows too many portions of potatoes. Chicken should have been prepared differently and smaller portion eaten. Candy should have been skipped.

Rainy Day

It is Saturday. I stayed up to late last night playing on the computer. Slept in this morning and woke up with a headache. It is pouring rain outside. Some areas even have a flood watch.

I had 2 servings of baked potato for Brunch and have chicken breast in frig to thaw. I have things in frig to make an awesome salad but I just need to do it. That often seems to be the problem. I buy things and don't take the time to prepare them.

I need to clean house today and call Harvey's about the special.

My First Blog

This is my first real blog. I want to blog my journey to better health. How will I get there -- One healthy choice at a time. I plan to join Harvey's gym if they still have the special. I think early morning workouts may be what I need to do to build strength and jumpstart my day. After work, I never want to go so hopefully morning will work. If I can be at the gym by 6:30 and workout for an hour, that would be good. One of the gyms is very close to where I live now.

I got my hair cut yesterday, but I don't have a picture for it yet. I am not sure if I like the new look or not.
