Evil Blogger

I created this beautiful post yesterday, but BLOGGER ATE IT! I can't believe I actually didn't learn from him!

I'll try to re-create the post. I said TRY.

Two areas in which I, apparently, continue to struggle....

4 Words

I have no patience.

State of Constant Chaos

Isn't it funny how things change so often around us? In the past few months, there has been so much change going on around me, and I feel as if I couldn't possibly be changing with the flow. But, I probably am.

Change is always good (so "they" say); however, it can be extremely difficult, at times. For me, change has always been hard. I'm the first to admit that. I have had some major changes going on at work that I haven't been handling so well. I've had a really rough couple of weeks at work. Although busy, which is nice, the change and constant chaos has been rough. I broke down a few times, and the niceties went by the wayside much near the beginning of those two weeks. I'm hoping the next two will go a little more smoothly.

As far as personally, though, the changes have been welcomed with open arms and open hearts. Not just my own. I'm thankful for making those changes within myself, and hope and pray that I can continue to stick with it. We don't want to talk about my past history in regards to sticking with "the program." It doesn't matter, anyway. That was the past. This is a new day. I'm happy to say that. And, I'm happy with the recent personal changes. Very happy.

Thanks to all who are and continue to be supportive. Positivity is enticing and contagious.

Update

Regarding that post down there: I have been too busy. Have done any of it yet.

But I'll get to it. Eventually.

Busy Little Bees

It seems that a lot of people are so busy these days. Too busy to talk, too busy to visit, too busy to enjoy each other's company. Or, is it just me? No, I know better than that.

I'm going to do my part in making sure that I don't get distracted with being too "busy" for my friends and my family:

1. Make three random calls to friends you haven't actually spoken with in over 6 months.

2. Make an appointment with 2 friends or family members (or one of each) to spend some alone time with them, catching up. For at least an hour.

3. Become more aware that when someone is talking to me, I need to give them my FULL attention (that means no e-mail, no text messaging, no distractions).

Long, Lost Poster

Hey all, it's been a WHOLE WEEK since I've posted. I've been so busy. Work sucks (worse than usual), and I've been busy TAKING CARE OF MYSELF. Yay me!

I had a great week in terms of the taking care of me part; however, the other parts weren't so good. Crying at work two-to-three days in a row probably isn't a good sign. But, realizing that taking a walk will help - and actually DOING IT - was a great step in the right direction for me.

Also, the whole soccer mom thing keeps me busy, as well as getting geared up for school to start (kinda late, I know). First day of school is Monday. We're all anxious, for so many different reasons.

I've had a hard time keeping up on my reading of blogs this week, too. I think I'm finally caught up though...okay, maybe not completely. However, I will get to them...I will.

Weekend Update

The weekend has kicked off, and I've been SUPER busy. :-( No time to exercise...YET. It's not over people...it's NOT over. However, I've had my two days off (that I didn't mean to take off), so I have to get busy tomorrow.

I finished off the day yesterday with eating well. And, today I've done really well when it comes to eating. So, not all bad. Just need to keep moving.

Still on a Roll

No, not a cinnamon roll! :-)

Yesterday was another great day. I met a friend for lunch, and was able to control myself so as to not eat the entire main entree, nor all of the soup that came with it. As it turns out, I AM capable of controlling my eating. Scared of that.

I knew I would be eating fast food for dinner, as I had a meeting in the evening. So, I determined where we were going, and PLANNED AHEAD for calories. Did you hear me? I SAID I PLANNED AHEAD! I know this probably seems normal for some of you folks out there, but for me...not so much.

As it turns out, the meal I intended to order was no longer sold at this particular fast food joint. So, I had to improvise. But I'm still happy with the choices I made. I ended up going a little over, but it was WAY better than normal.

Also, I did get a walk in before I left work yesterday. So, I'm still on a roll. Cross your fingers as the weekend approaches....
