Everything else, I want to apply to my life....I do it right away. Why wait to diet? Why wait to buy something? Why wait?
Last year was my year for changes...2010 will be my year to reap those rewards.
Good luck to you.
We got a home gym last year. And I work out on my gazelle thingy one day and the next I do some light weight repetitions.
And if I can't get my normal 30 minutes in...I will break them up into 3-10 minute sessions. You really don't feel like you are working out during those 10 minute intervals...but they have proven that you get the same effect as if you did sweat out 30 minutes.
My biggest thing is to push through flares. I make myself get up and move. Otherwise it's 10 times worse. And that has got to be one of the hardest things I've done. Child labor was a breeze compared to pushing through flares!
We'll see how I do!! LOL
HUGS from down south :)
Bigouchie, I understand the D cigs. It is the only unhealthy thing in my life. I've given up wheat, sugar, dairy, all unprocessed food and yet still can't drop the cigs. I even went to hyno., he asked me what I feel when I smoke. I told him "in those few minutes it seems my body focus' on the cig instead of the pain." He said that's because nicotine is a pain suppressant. He wouldn't do hypno., said it wouldn't do any good if I am using it for pain control. He said to get off the cigs with additives in them & come back when my pain is at a low level or try the patch & see if it helps with the pain. So I've switched to American Spirit and keep trying to quit. I am always "trying to quit."
try and find the right medication that will help without a lot of side effects,
try and hold my tounge when I am pissed off at HR or one of the a hole bosses that I have when they do something totally out of line and utterly stupid.
Rememer not to turn on my gas stove and leave the door open to try and heat my house.
Epress love and gratitide to those that care and help me.
Thank you everyone here that has given me support, advice, hugs etc.
