Re: About had ENOUGH!!!!! taking charge!! yeah!!

[Guest guest]

Hi Debmeter!!!

YES!! YES!! YES!!!

Take control!! Take charge!! Take responsibility!!

You can do it! If you take care of yourself, you know it will get done!!

I have not tried water aerobics, but I heard it's really really beneficial.

I have it on my schedule, but then, my legs are never shaved (sorryguys!!!)

because I am too tired. So I will get my legs done Monday :-)

I attended a two day conference for women in leadership. That was so

motivating! I also have so many new resources.

First I bought a book at Bath and Body Works. They have a great sale going

on right now. A lot of buy one get one free, gift sets half off. They do

have a great line of Aromatherapy lotions and pulse point gel, oil. Great

fragances!!

Anyway, the book is called something with Calm. I can't remember the exact

title :-) Reaching calm, being calm, the book of calm. i think that's it.

I has a bunch of different tips in it.

I did the yoga exercise in there. It is really simple, nice and flowing, and

I felt it the next day!!

I also read about half of the stress management handbook, and so far I feel

that I didn't gain much, but I will finish it anyway!!

maybe it will get better. :-)

Last weekend I bought Rollerskates, the 4 wheelers from Sketcher. YES the

teeny-looking skates with the glitter light blue wheels. I have

Rollerblades, but I was never good with them. I used to Rollerskate a lot up

until I was 20 or so.

So I took my Lab mix on a leash rollerskating. He is not that well trained,

YET. It went better than I thought!! HE is the one who ran into somebody's

rose bush and ALL the leaves fell off. how terrible!!

I was only skating for 15 minutes or so, but I wasn't sore after it, or the

next day at all!!! I finally found something fun, that makes me tired,

works on my endurance, and it doesn't kill me (no matter how much my dog

tried lol)

I don't think that I am physically any better yet, but mentally I am!!! My

outlook is so positive!! All these things to try that are good for me!!

Oh, yeah, my car...... I had to get the transmission re-build. Big bucks

:-(

Then, yesterday, I went downtown Denver for my seminar, and on the way back

the car was running really bad. I stopped and it was leaking fluid. Of

course transmission fluid. I called the mechanic, and he told me to try and

drive it to the shop. So there was I in rush hour, not on the highway, just

busy streets, going 30, with squeeling tires, because it was skipping gears.

So today I got it back form the shop, again.

Maybe it's time I invest in a reliable car!!

Well, I better go to bed, I have done my bed routine of washing my face

early, and then I will read my stress book, and play a game on my game boy.

Tomorrow I have all day testing at my neuro psych. So I'll be tired

tomorrow!!

Take care everybody, Debmeter, get you butt to the pool!!!! It will be good!!

:-)

That's wonderful to hear about the rollerskating, and how positive

your attitude has become. Attitude means so much! While it doesn't

help with the pain, it does make it easier to deal with, at least I

think so. Just wanted to let you know I found your post very positive

and satisfying. Keep it up. :-)

Take care,
