Tuesday TV Talk

FEAR FACTOR IS BACK!

Okay, so I was siting there in my nice comfy chair the other day watching the tube when the advertisement came on. I was doing a happy dance.Yes, Fear Factor is returning. This show is not for everyone. Not sure how yucky it will be now but for some reason, I found it to be extremely interesting a few years back. The things people do for money. I am excited that this show is back on next month. 

Anyone else a weirdo like I am?

Sunday Blessings

Here we are in another week of November. I still can't believe how fast time is going by. Here are some blessings that I am thankful for this week.

1. That the internet is now working. We are very spoiled, aren't we?

2. That we have only had one very short snow fall so far and it didn't stick!

3. That God still loves me even when I let my anger get the best of me. Yes, I have had many angry moments this past week.  Sigh...

4. That the cat has peed INSIDE the litter box for over a week!!!

5. That my family has stayed healthy so when the flu and cold season has arrived.

How have you been blessed this week?

Tuesday TV Review

Okay, so where has the time gone and why am I left behind? I can't believe I let so many days fly by and forget about posting on here. Well actually, I do remember but I am usually at work when I think about it and forget when I am home. Anyhoo, here I am ready to talk televison.

Has anyone seen Once Upon a Time yet? I am loving this show, more than I thought I would. Maybe it's because I loved fairy tales when I was growing up or I love the 'happily ever after' thing. Whatever it is, I am hooked. The show goes back and forth between the fairy tale world of Snow White and her loving prince in which they get married and have a baby named Emma. But that pesky evil queen is out to get Snow and puts a curse on them. They all end up in our world today...this is the curse. No one knows who they are or what relationships they have. Except for the little boy that reads the whole thing from his story book and believes it. He is the adopted son of the evil queen...well, the mayor of the town in today's world. Am I confusing you?

I find it interesting and can't wait to see the next episode. Will good or evil win out? Will Snow and Charming live happily ever after? Stay tuned.

Fibro Thursday

Okay, so as much as I have very good ideas and intentions, it just doesn't work out like I plan. I was planning on writing every day however, I am so slacking. Life just happens, I guess. But I am going to try to at least post on Thursdays. I am designating this day of the week to blog about fibromyalgia, which it seems that I have been diagnosed with recently. Kind of like a diary of sorts. I am actually going to keep a written diary myself just to write down my feelings that day and what I did or didn't do that makes the pain better or worse.

I had a dr appt. a couple days ago and we talked about me not wanting to take meds and trying a more natural approach to beating the pain and exhaustion that comes with this. I have not been taking care of myself much these last few months. In fact, I have been very stressed and a bit discouraged. But I need to pick myself up and doing something to help  myself. I know that but boy, just doing it is another thing.

So, I am going to blog about my ups and downs trying to deal with it. I am going to TRY to work on my weight. It will only help to relieve the stress on my body. The dr. also talked to me about exercise. I almost cried when she told me I really need to start.  I tried explaining about having to work 8 hrs.on my feet and how the thought of exercising makes me want to cry. I sure don't know how this is going to work.She insists it will help with the pain. So, I guess I am just going to have to at least try.

So, I guess this is my journey to feeling better. Here's hoping I find something that works! Any suggestions would be helpful,especially from anyone that might be experiencing the same thing.

I have been enjoying it so much! Talk about sittin' on the deck! Hope everyone is enjoying cause we know it will change soon.

Have a Fab Friday!!!!

Thoughtful Thursday: How did I get this way??

I am sitting here pondering over what I should write about on this 'thoughtful' Thursday. What am I really thinking about today?  As I look down to ponder on this, I realize that there is one thing I am not thinking about that I really should be thinking about...the fact that this middle roll that I have is getting bigger!! Yikes! Where did this come from in such a short time?? Could it be the Lay's cheddar cheese chips I have been munching on lately? Or maybe the chicken club I had last night at Wendy's. Or maybe it's because I never get any exercise other than running around at work for 8 hrs...does that count? Whatever it is, I ain't liking it much! I get so mad at myself. I really love food, particularly sweets. But it loves me even more.

According to my BMI index they always base you on, I am considered obese. I don't think so but healthwise, yes, I am. I am unhealthy. I admit it. Why have I gotten this way? Well, I think I have really let this fibromyalgia really get the best of me somehow this past year. I do not like it. I hate being in pain. I do not want to 'try' out drugs to maybe help the pain. I do not want to work at my job because I can barely walk out of there most of the time. I have gotten a bad attitude...well, worse than usual. I am tired of it. I am really, really tired and exhausted. Is that why I am eating all this junk? Some may say that I am turning to food but really,  I just love food. I love sweets, I love tons of butter on my food, I love tons of cheese on my food. And if I really love it, I tend to overeat until I almost explode. Food is good!! Just that some foods are unhealthier than others and should be limited.

I used to at least try to eat healthy. Now I feel like...well, too exhausted to care? I am not sure. People say to take my meds and maybe that will help but I have a feeling that it may make other things worse. It is mostly just experimenting for years to come up with what works. Fibro is like a game you play and I have let it win. No one really knows what it feels like unless you experience it. Pretty much like most things in life. Am I going to continue to let it win? That is left up to me. I guess I have to make that choice.

I know what I need to do...start making healthier choices. I am going to start there and not look any further for now. I think that would make me too exhausted. Just another thought...since it is 'thoughtful'  Thursday...maybe I should designate every Thursday to any progress I make or at least post my failures because there are always failures along the way. I need to start dealing with this so much better than I have this past year. Thanks for listening to my food obsession and my pity party. It's gonna be a challenge for sure. But then again, there are others that have many more challenges in life than I do.

What are your thoughts for this awesome Thursday? On a really positive note for today...it is sunny, in the high 70's and I am off today!!!! Deck...here I come!

'Write'ful Wednesday

I have been busy lately doing recaps of TV shows but they are alot of fun to write. I have to admit that it is quite tough to write in between working fulltime. I sure wish I could just write but hey, it is what it is for now. So, here are a few links to recent articles I have written.
