I was up half the night with a bad toothache- NOT feeling very rested this morning! I have finally gotten a referral from my doctor to see the dentist in the Health Alliance, they only have one and she is swamped with people like me that have no insurance. Not sure if they will even take me, but I am going to call them this morning and make my best case with them.
Off to Segunda Vida today, long day ahead. We had a busy day yesterday, I hope we do well today. I really enjoy this job and it is something I look forward to every week, not long ago I was paid a lot more to show up to a job that I had come to hate. My perspective has changed radically since then!
We are back to Wednesday and Thursday weigh-ins for BLN, the weight loss won't be as great since we just weighed on Saturday, but I am syill hoping for a loss just the same! We walked and jogged the causeway yesterday, it was cool and crisp and beautiful out.
Well it's off to the races for me! Have a wonderful, healthy day!

It's a cloudy, breezy morning here on the Space Coast, with rain (hopefully) on the way.
Had a very good week, we did great this week at the store and things are moving along at Love INC. I spent the better part of my free time there this week and for the last few days I have been texturing and finishing two walls in the entrance to their office. I will take pictures but it is hard to capture the full 3D effect that building color upon color brings. For once I am truly happy with my work, I am my own worst critic and sometimes I must learn to ignore that critic!
Last night was our third BLN (Biggest Loser-Nomad) weigh-in and I am so happy that I had good numbers this time. Planning ahead and getting exercise are truly the two most important things I must do, along with doing stress-reducing activities.
I don't know if I have journaled about this yet but in the last month I was blessed with a wonderful gift from two of my fellow Nomads. Long story short, one of them came to the store and asked me to come out to the car and help her bring in some donations, and when I did I was handed a guitar in a case and informed that it was for ME!
You see, back in the day I used to play the guitar a lot. I was self-taught because my parents couldn't afford lessons and my dad was too prideful to take advantage of scholarships (in his view, "charity"). Over the years, it was one of the things that slowly slipped away from me, and eventually I didn't play at all.
So here we are in 2012 and I have a beautiful instrument to play again. It's funny how you don't forget everything, even after 20 years. The fingers remember where they should go. Trust me, I have a long way back to get to the proficiency I used to have. But, just like my weight loss and success over depression, it is something I will have to do one day at a time. I will soon make that guitar sing!
It is good to be back in touch with my art, and with myself. Peace to all and have a wonderful Sunday!

Losing 2.6 kg a Week

Long couple of days. After working all day at the store I was next door at Love, INC putting a skip trowel texture on the reception area and then when I was done with that I painted walls all day. The project is nearing its end and I am glad. I am really tired and I have been having "stress" dreams this week, so I need some de-stressing I guess. Getting back to my regular gym routine will help a lot I'm sure.
Doing well on my food so far this week.I have to make sure to eat when I do all of this manual labor type work because if I don't then I find myself overly hungry and ready to devour everything!
Tomorrow I have an appointment with my doctor, it's really just jumping through hoops so that I can be seen by the dentist. I have a lot of trouble spots and have had no dental coverage for ten years, not a good thing. Wish me luck!
Well not much else peeps I am exhausted and ready for bed. Peace to all.

Happy Valentine's Day to all...
I don't have a valentine so this year all of you can be my valentine if you want. It's mostly a made-up holiday anyway, to sell cards and candy and flowers. But enough about that.
I made it to the store yesterday and got my pantry stocked with good, healthy stuff. I made spaghetti last night using my lower fat version that uses ground sirloin as the meat instead of sausage or ground chuck. I made a ton of it so part of it can go in the freezer for later.
Today is day one of my two back to back days at Segunda Vida, the thrift store that Nomad runs and that keeps me employed part-time. I always get plenty of exercise working this job, there is always a lot to be done. Tomorrow it's back to the gym and I am looking forward to it.
I have to go look at a house on the way to work that I was referred to for a painting estimate, it's very close to my house so that will be good.
The weigh-in for week two of BLN (Biggest Loser-Nomad) will not be tomorrow as is usual, but this Saturday at a member's house that is hosting a healthy pot-luck. So I have a few extra days to get a my numbers down! :-)
Well that's it for now, have a great day and eat some healthy stuff for your Valentine's meal!
Peace. Onward!

I have not been doing well at all and my numbers are proof of that. I have overscheduled myself and not planned ahead for meals and other activities, and I am tired. No, make that exhausted.
That stops today. I will get back on plan TODAY. When I weighed in last week for BLN (Biggest Loser Nomad), I knew my numbers were not going to be good but I didn't think they would be that bad. I was pretty bummed out. Thankfully I still have many tools at my disposal, and this place is one of them. I have been logging my food on another board, but now they want us to use yet another site for the challenge. I just can't do it! Too many things to remember so I end up doing none. So I am going to go back to my original plan and do everything here. Steve is my team leader and he said it's fine if I print out my stuff or send the link for my FS page so my food and exercise can be tracked.
The first step is to allow myself more free time for me. I have been mudding walls at the new space for Love, I.N.C. since last week and not paying attention to my needs or planning ahead for my food. One of the things I worked on during sessions was my tendency to overschedule myself. Have to work on that.
I have been getting plenty of exercise, so I am good in that department. Tightening up the food plan and getting enough rest will turn the numbers back in the right direction.
I am so thankful that I have a place to come to and write down my thoughts and share them with others that definitley understand the challenges we all face.
So today is my day off, and I am going to the grocery store to stock up on the right kind of food and prepare some meals ahead so I will be better prepared for the week. I hope you can forgive my absence for so long.
Blessings to all. Peace.
