Coming Up in The Weeks Ahead

Filed under: Gratitude — gardener @ 10:26 am

In the coming weeks, I’m going to be making some changes in ‘this’ house and the others that I also own. I’m going to be creating certain ‘features’ for each place, and having those on a regular basis, along with contests and other ‘fun’ and often educational things.

It’s going to take a little while, but expect something new in the next few weeks, and from there it only gets better.

Life is good my friends, life is good.

My Gratitude List for July 18, 2009.

Today I’m Grateful For:

  • Jillian Michaels, and her “Master Your Metabolism” book.
  • The little things, that add up to ‘big’ things.
  • New discoveries and ideas.
  • The sound of rain tapping on my window.
  • Fresh, ripe strawberries.

Learning Curve

Filed under: Health/ Fitness,Life — gardener @ 10:22 am

Yesterday I started reading Jillian Michaels new book called, “Master Your Metabolism”, and so far I’m loving it. Granted, I’m only about a 1/3 of the way through it, but already there are SO many things that I’m relating to, and I’m curious to see how this plan is going to help not only my metabolism, but my hormone levels.

The book even says that hormones being out of whack can cause break-outs, which I was happy to read, because I’ve been considering acne treatments to get rid of these occasional break-outs I’ve been having. I definitely don’t think someone my age should be having them, so I’m curious to see what the book is going to offer that will possibly help with this little issue. Plus, once I get things in sync with my body, I may actually be able to drop the rest of this weight easier than it has been the last couple of months.

I’m learning so much and can’t wait to learn more and apply it to my life.

Exausted

Filed under: Health/ Fitness,Life — gardener @ 10:18 am

Ever have those days when you feel exausted even when you’ve done nothing to get exausted from? That’s me today! I haven’t done anything much at all today other than resting but yet I feel exausted. I keep telling myself it’s this cold I have, and it’s taking a toll, but I don’t do ‘sick’ very well. This morning I was practically jumping up and down because I was feeling much better- now, is another story.

I’ve been taking Zycam, and it seems to be helping, but obviously I’m expecting big things. I just want this stuff to be OVAHHH. I know- whine, whine, whine. That’s how I feel.

Oops, They Did It Again…

Filed under: In the Neighborhood — gardener @ 10:15 am

The beavers have done it again! They’ve dammed up the pond near my parents home and are causing all sorts of problems, which includes the threat of washing out the bridge the pond sits near. They do it every year. I’m fairly certain it’s the same ones, since I haven’t heard any tales of them getting ‘rid’ of the beavers, but as destructive as they can be, I can’t help but think about how cute they are.

I made the suggestion that they use pond pumps to see if that would help with the water levels, but my dad says it won’t. Obviously he knows much more about these things than I do, but I DO think they are adorable. I probably wouldn’t feel like that if they were causing problems in my neighborhood, but since they aren’t….
