  • Bad week ending well

    Friday, June 6, 2008 | A Happy story

    This week started so badly and work is horrible, but I passed the damn manditory certification exam! I can't even express how happy it makes me to get this finally done. I overcame a very large fear by doing this.
    I also won the quarterly competition at my photo club, second AND third place and the competition was tough! The catagory was birds, Doh! This means so much to me because it was vote...

  • Journal Entry for March 13, 2008

    Thursday, March 13, 2008

    I had two doctors’ appointments this week (Tuesday the 11th and Wednesday the 12th). 
    My doctor’s appointment on Tuesday was with a gastriologist in Toronto. I wasn't expecting to get too much out of the appointment because I have a fear of needles and she hasn't recommended any test that doesn't involve needles. We had talked about sedatives with her bu...

  • WHEN LOVE HAPPENS! ~ The Plug-In~

    Sunday, August 24, 2008 | An Inspiring story

    This is the last in the series of 'Refrigerator Rights Relationships.'  This has been the theme for our Church Services.
    It's about those relationships that are close to us, to where our friends/family feel comfy helping themselves to food/pop inside our fridge. But, what if something stinky is in there? What if you forgot about something in there that is growing some moldy scienc...

  •  Amen. 
    Anyways, I was glad to let that go.  It was more closure than I really needed, seen as I have already worked through most of that with my therapist.  But amen for closing off that discustingly horrible part of my life.  
    I am going to go and look up how many calories I burned in my run today.  I figure 7 miles in 1 hour 5 mins should be at least...

    Sunday, June 14, 2009 | A Positive story

     I have been for my first bike ride, (Saturday, June the 13th/09) since 2006 and it felt great. I know I have a lot of work ahead of me, cardio sucked big time and legs felt like mush, for the riders here, yes my butt hurts today, you all know that pain.
    It was just a ride on sandy roads, a ride around the block, eh in the country we have BIG BLOCKS, close to 15 miles. So it was not a century...

  • One year on DS...my story

    Sunday, October 26, 2008

    It has been a truly incredible year.  It feels like it was ages ago that I joined here in desperation, in hope that I would find some support in my far-fetched plan to lose 70 pounds... I will recap the story...
    Between September 2006 and September 2007, I gained a total of 71.2 pounds.  I was an athlete growing up and I rebelled completely from the idea of exerc...
