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!!

:-)
