Goodbye Twinkie

Yeah. So I don't remember if I posted or not...but I'm not going to the rhuemeee anytime soon...insurance...and not wanting anymore bills.

The wheels are churning.
January will mark a turning point in my life. I am changing what I eat big time. Some may call it crazy, and some will say WOW! Some will want to join, and so they shall. Yeah...I couldn't help myself. I love bustin' rhymes.--You'll find out more about the whole food thing later-- I am rejoining the gym. There was no need to join mid-December. Holiday Hustle. I've also decided that I need to pay the ol' Takamine more attention. I've been playing here and there, but still... If in December of 2013 I am still in the same place in my life, I'm gonna ...uhhhhh....be very disappointed in myself and feel like a weenie. Here's to getting back to Ninja Time!!!! My body may try and stop me...but I don't care. I will cry and bust through it. I refuse to get sick and accept any disease or whatever the crap may come my way! YEEEHAW! Just call me Jackie-Ann!
Time to turn the wheel to the next selection...this one is played out...move over Shoulda Coulda Woulda....time to take a lil step....move over sickness....ain't NOBODY got time fah that!

Beast Mode?

Last night, I decided to look over some inspiring "fitness for women" quotes and pictures. -You see, I've made a plan. I am moving my gym membership. I do very much so like the gym where I am currently a member, but it's inconvenient. Robyn and I have decided it's time to return to BEAST MODE! My energy level isn't at it's best...gonna start back on the B12...no not with any additives like boosters...just B12.  When we were going together we both lost a bunch of weight and toned up a lot. I won't be able to switch until the end of NOV. BUT it's gonna happen.

I also know that if I don't exercise, and keep eating the way I've been eating=oooo big and bad by the end of the year. 

I just decided to deny whatever it is that is attacking me. Yes, I have moments of pain. SO!

OH OH OH

I worked in my garden yesterday, and my arms are sore=BEAST! Great exercise for the arms!

This tool will work your arms!

My plans are to expand my garden a tiny bit. In memory of my Prince Jake, I am building a fire pit with lil paw prints on it...I think I am gonna come up with a few more things to add to it.:) 

It's a good idea to get outdoors! 

Luna and Lyka are enjoying this chilly weather. I can't wait until their coats get thick.:)

Brief

I've started back running, and am averaging about 10-10:3 min for a mile. =not what I was doing, but hey! I gotta start back somewhere.

I have also decided to slowly decide how to be an avid coupon lady. We will see how this goes...I've printed some out, and feel free to get me those coupons out of magazines/papers that you're not using...no need to cut them out...I'll do it:)

I am having an open house on Nov. 19th for all to come and shop with 4 difference companies! whoohoo!

I still have some sadness...especially at night...missing Jake and all.
BUT I'm doing good.

So..this is a short sweet to the point blog. Yes.
I've gotta homeschool my girl, and run some errands today.
Love all!

Worse than I thought.

Update: I lost Jake. He died during surgery. I held it in all day. I cried off and on...but when all things settled...I tucked myself in bed and......it was out of my control. I felt like a huge lump was in my throat...I felt like my heart hurt...and I couldn't help but cry out loud. I cried so hard I lost my supper and more. 

I don't know. Maybe some folks think I'm crazy, because they don't understand...that's okay. 

After...I looked in the mirror and saw what I've been pushing back into my mind over and again silently until recently it has come forth....the butterfly on my face. I'm not saying it is...but I can see it..more now than ever. "Do not think," OH dis girl she tryin' to claim something" PLEASE. Stop.  I've been feeling better with less aches, and no shortness of breath since I've been taking an otc anti-inflammatory. BUT I've been tired. My gums are bleeding more than they use to....WELCOME TO MY PITY PARTY FOLK! 

I am quite aware that I'm a blessed person....in fact...I feel like I'm overly blessed. So blessed that I am ashamed to complain. So...I'll stop.

BUT one thing you should know...I'm real. I'm not gonna play up some illusion that I'm not human...that I'm perfect...that I never hurt or feel angry...or get offended...or whatever...FACT is I'm learning everyday..I'm changing everyday...and I am getting stronger...You might not be able to see it....BUT HE can. He is the one holding me up...He is my Fortress.

The Return

I got a phone call this afternoon that would alter my day. The neighbors called to say that Prince Jake had been found. THANK GOD for good neighbors!

I knew he'd be dehydrated. He's been missing for a week today. I bought Pedialyte before I drove home.  I came home to find him dehydrated, tired, and with some kind of injury. I gave him as much fluid orally as he would take. My husband will take him to the vet in the morning, and we will get him treated. My heart is breaking, because I can't take his pain away. I am thankful he is home. Hope.

Pray for my Jake.

A little song for Jake. May sound corny, but this year has really stunk at times. I thank God for my family. I thank God for my Jake.

Expo and another result

Natalie and I worked the Expo for the past two days with some awesome folk! My feet hurt, but we had a ton of fun. We loved the Florida tent...not just because we are Gator fans. Science was all over that tent. We stayed at that exhibit longer than any other, because Natalie was lovin' it!

I got home and soaked my feet!

My general practitioner's office called...and guess what....ehheheheheeee. My Celiac Disease test came back NEGATIVE! WHOOOOOOOOPP Give me a cookie! Bake me a cake! GLORY TO GOD! HEALED OF CELIAC DISEASE!

I did have another part of the test show that I have low A....something. lol anyway...she said that I have some sort of autoimmune stuff going on...so.

I found an outlet for my despair about Jake's disappearance. I dug, raked, and am still cleaning my garden. I would like to build a small fire pit to roast mellows on:)

Longest week

Wow. This week has been long. First the bad. Duma is gone-he is wild I think. I am having to have more tests. The worst thing: my Prince Jake has fled after a freak accident. I always ease really slow into my driveway. As always I did and this time Jake stopped for some reason. I either got his tail or leg or foot... Or ... And he ran off . I am so so so sad. He is my son, and I don't care what people think. He ran out of food. I bought him more and refilled his bowl. If you know me well, you know how I feel about this cat.

I had a wonderful report from the heart cath. My Thirty one party this week was a blessing in ssoooooo many ways. I have a beautiful family. A home and etc. I am still so very blessed.

Now- pray for Jake's return & this neck pain n stiffness to vanish!
