Cat or Dog

You Are: 20% Dog, 80% Cat

You are are almost exactly like a cat. You're intelligent, independent, and set on getting your way. And there's no way you're going to fetch a paper for anyone!

Are You More Cat or Dog?

When Is It My Time on the Computer?

Well, I have made it back. But I have to literally beg the kids to let me on the computer. lol. You would think that someone who stays home would have all the time in the world to play on the PC, but that is not how it is for me. Unless I give up more sleep. Here it is almost 11pm and I am just done checking me emails. Someone is on here till atleast 10pm every night. (sometimes lately when it is Chetasia's day) Now with me exercising, that takes up a couple of hours of my free time. And I don't want to pick the computer over spending time with Mike before he goes to work. So alas, I have settled to be at the kids commands, and waiting my turn to play. I guess homework does take presidence (sp?)Here's to owning my own (preferable laptop) computer in the future. Then I will have excuses to not updating my blog and returning my email. lol

Well it has been one full week of exercising. And I actually am looking forward to going back next week. So I guess it hasn't been that bad. There were a few times, I had to back off because of my raised heart rate. But all in all, things are looking good and I feel great. The only problem is my target heart rate is suppose to be 120 bpm when exercising. This is where I should be to lose the most fat. Well my normal heart rate doesn't usually start till 125 bmp, and I know that I have not been losing fat at this rate. lol When it gets up to 165 bmp exercising, that is when I get nervous. But here's hoping that with the weight falling off, that maybe I can get my heart rate down to a sensible normal like the rest of the world. Tomorrow is weight day, and I can't wait to see where I am at. Here's praying for good news.

1st Day of Exercise

Today was my hubby and mine's first day of exercising. We were shown 'the ropes' of the gym. We were very excited for our first day. Full of excitement, and a little bit scared. We listened and learnt well. I think we will be ready for Wednesday. I hope our muscles will be as well. It is bedtime, and my legs are feeling alittle stiff right now. But I am ready to continue my new healthier life. And on a great note......I have lost 12 lbs so far since Christmas. I will have my diabetes under control in no time. Here's to many more days of exercising.......

Meditation

What a wonderful thing meditation is. It grounds you, clears your head, and helps you figure out your questions in life. Everyone should be meditating. There would be less anger in people and more understanding. I have meditated on and off over the years. But Saturday, I went to a workshop to learn how to meditate. It was a great experience. And has rejuvenated my need to meditate on a regular business. There are lots of great books, and CD's out there to help you start. But after sticking to it, you will wonder how you lived without. Happy Meditating....... next comes Yoga, this will be an experience.....lol

Where is the Snow?

Well it is almost January 14th and we still have no snow. There was talk of a winter storm on Saturday night. But only ice came. I am sure others are loving this warmer winter season, but the snow makes me happy and I miss it. I think I saw on the weather network that there may be some flurries this week. Here is hoping. (of course when it turns to slush it can leave again). lol

Buddha Quotes

Some Great Buddha Quotes

An idea that is developed and put into action is more important than an idea that exists only as an idea. Buddha

Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense. Buddha

You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection. Buddha

Great Bipolar Website

Mental illnesses when spoken about bring many different feelings. What do you think about when you say depression. Are you afraid to talk about this topic. Afraid to admit that you may suffer from a mental illness. I am not.......! I have depression, I am bipolar. These are not things that I picked to have, or are they things I can stop. This is no different than having Diabetes. A disease that you can't see but that has to be taken serious. Here is a great website for Bipolar. www.bipolar.com I am hoping that many check out the website and maybe learn a little more about being bipolar. Especially my family and friends. So that when we discuss how I am doing, there won't be the feelings of denial or disgust. But with the feelings of love and understanding.

A New Beginning

I have finally taken the plunge and started my own blog. Hopefully I can keep it running well, and have it be entertaining and informative. This space will allow me to post about my family, about my health, and about my beliefs. Please come be a part of my life, and learn to believe along the way.
