Gratitude – July 7, 2010

Filed under: Gratitude — gardener @ 1:01 pm

I really have so much to be grateful for. I think I have an amazing family and some of the best friends a girl could ask for. They are all different, and as someone was talking about the other day- each person brings something unique and special to the table of life. It’s a beautiful thing.

My Gratitude List for July 7, 2010.

Today I’m Grateful For:

  • Little notes that let me know people are thinking about me, even when they are busy with other things.
  • Phone calls and laughter amongts my dearest of friends.
  • The little things, such as waking up to kitty cat kisses.
  • Finding a restaurant for my birthday dinner.
  • Fresh ripe strawberries.

I (Heart) The Internet

One of my favorite things about the Internet is the fact that if I want to know something, the information is pretty much at my fingertips. At this point, I don’t believe there is anything I haven’t been able to find online, and believe me, my interests vary. I’ve searched for everything from merchant account resellers to restaurants in cities I plan to visit. I’ve even looked for specific plants and bugs. I’ve found it all. It definitely makes our worlds a little smaller doesn’t it?

If we want to visit Australia or New Zealand, it’s nothing more than a few clicks away and we are vitually there within seconds.

Downward Trend

A few days ago I mentioned that I’d lost 3 pounds in about four days. Well, this morning I woke up and found myself a little curious as to if the weight was still gone or if maybe it was one of those things were I was slightly dehydrated or something. I knew that wasn’t the case, but I was so surprised to see the scales moving downward again I almost thought I was dreaming.

Instead, when I got on the scales this morning, I saw that I had lost another 2 pounds, which means in the last week I’ve lost 5 pounds!! I haven’t lost that much weight in a week since I first began my lifestyle change. I am LOVING it though and plan to continue doing exactly what I’m doing right now.

Before you wonder- No, I’m not starving myself. I’m eating healthy, balanced meals and exercising and getting betweeen 1200-1500 calories a day.

Oh Yeah

My friend, who also reads this space (hey hey) said that she’s heard mixed reports on the importance of using the best prenatal vitamins once she is pregnant. Again, I suggested that she check with her doctor, but I also think that she could probably find some great resources online as to what is the best vitamins for her to take for both her and the little one, once she does get pregnant. Looks like if she gets pregnant, that will be the third friend that I have who is having a baby. Well, I say having- two very close friends have already had little ones this year, and I absolutely adore them both.

Exciting Times

Filed under: Life,Things I Love — gardener @ 12:46 pm

I had an email from a really good friend who told me that she’s trying to get pregnant. I’m excited for her, because it will be her first little one and she is one of those people that I believe will be a fantastic mother. You know how you meet some people and you just know that about them? Well, that’s how I see her. She said someone suggested that she try pregnancy vitamins even before she got pregnant, but since I have no experience in this area, I suggested that she call her doctor and make sure that’s ok. I hope she is able to get pregnant when she wants and that everything turns out perfect.
