Had a pretty good week. I worked out 4 times and I am so happy with how great I feel. They say it takes up to 3 years to recover from adrenal fatigue and boy they aren't lying. I've been doing really good the past year in a half. I've been going to the sauna once a week, tomorrow is my day. My daughter worked out with me this morning, I was laughing to myself watching her on the eliptical.

You ever have someone who just keeps being a thorn in your side? I have one of those too, it so happens to be my ex husband's wife. Have mercy I have turned the other cheek many times but how many times do I have to be told she is telling my daughters stuff about me they have no business knowing? I've prayed for her, I do feel sorry for her because you can tell she is very threatened by me. I'm sure there is a lesson in there but man there are moments I would love to kick her butt!!!

So I heard a saying today and it really stuck with me:

Are you living or are you existing?

Is that not a powerful question? What is your answer? So that is on my mind today/tonight.

Time for dinner and a movie with my children. Be blessed!!!

Saturday went to see the movie Not Easily Broken. It was an awesome movie, there are some parts in there that really touched my heart because I could relate to it. When it comes out on DVD I'm getting it. Also watched Tyler Perry's The Family that Preys..........good movie. Then after that I watched Why Did I Get Married? I've seen it before and it got me thinking about my my baby and wondered his reasoning for wanting to marry me so I asked. I'll go into more detail later. Sunday my baby went out of town for work. I'm going nuts, I hate being away from him. I feel like a lost puppy, am I insane or what :). I have 2 more days till I see him again, this is torture. He better not ever leave me like this again. We might go away for the weekend, if it works out that would be so awesome.


After work I went in the sauna, oh man it felt great. I've been having issues with my right leg bothering me as well as my lower back so it helped me. There is a track in the gym that's upstairs and for some reason anytime I walk it my back and leg kill me. So that means no more track and I have to go on the treadmill. I've been trying very hard to eat healthy and exercise more. Watched Oprah's best life week and it has motivated me more to get healthier.

The last few days have been very cold around here. I've mentioned how there are times I have a hard time living in Wisconsin. I'm one that believes attitude is everything and sets the tone. I'm trying very hard to have a good attitude about being back but like I've said it's challenging. I know it's only a few years until I'm back where I belong. Hmmmm that's it I don't feel like I belong here.

The sun was shining nice and bright today so I put a chair in front of the window to soak up some rays. It felt really nice :).

So I've been doing some soul searching and know I have some work to do in myself. I want to overcome the trust issues I have with men. Where do I begin? I don't want to attract any of this anymore.

After making dinner the kids and I sat down and watched Tyler Perry's The Familly that Preys. Wow, I really love the wisdom that comes from his movies not to mention the humor. I'm going to have a full day devoted to watching all his movies and even plays. He has been a huge inspiration to me and I laugh so much when I watch his work. When his next movie comes out Madea Goes to Jail, I am so there!!! I loved the play

I almost forgot, I went in the sauna at work Tuesday....................it was awesome. I was in only a half hour but I have to get used to it again. Been walking more too. When I went grocery shopping I got all kinds of fresh fruits and veggies. I've been doing really good with adding more of that in my diet. I sure feel a difference.

Well I have to cut this short I have a preteen daughter hanging over my shoulder beggin for the computer. I suppose it's her turn.

Be Blessed

So I went to the store and got a purple 3 ring binder, some dividers, stickers some have quotes on them, some are hearts, and the others are butterflies. I wanted to make my creative binder pretty. I bought some paper that is multi colored and have different colored pens I write with. It looks very nice. I've been spending some time everyday since I completed it. Whether I'm writing affirmations, goals, or something insperational it's quite calming.



One of the first things I put on my appreciation area was the sunshine!! After being in AZ with the sun that shines 300 days out of the year, it's hard being back here where it's half of that. I'm trying very hard to have a good attitude about being back in WI. Our attitude sets the tone for things so I'm trying to have a good attitude and at times I find it challenging.



I was talking to a friend of mine about her love life. Over the past few months she started dating a man and she's having some reservations. She asked me how do you know when it's fear and when it's your intuition telling you something? Hmmmm that's a good question. Do any of you have any ideas? I would love to hear it.

My affirmation for today is I create only good in my life.
