Tough Times....

Well, I haven't been doing as well as I should. I was working too many hours.... got stressed and was craving something sweet. And to top that off, I'd ran out of my almonds and couldn't get to Conrad Farms to get more! :cry

I'm back in the saddle so to speak though, and I'm working hard again to get back on track. Dr. Oz's book has been so helpful in understanding how everything works. I started taking two baby aspirins a day along with 200 mcg of chromium picolate per his advice. I do seem to be doing a little better.... or I was until I hurt myself in water aerobics! The pain has set me back again. I'm barely able to walk now. I just want this pain to stop so bad. I'm trying so hard not to get discouraged and be thankful that I'm lucky to be alive and able to walk. I could've lost my life.

I talked to a man today who'd been in a car accident too. His carotid artery had been severed..... he was bleeding to death. Luckily for him, it was in front of a veterinary hospital. The vet did emergency surgery on him and sewed his artery back up and saved his life! A doc is a doc is a doc.... an artery is an artery is an artery. It was amazing to listen to his story. So I shouldn't be so upset when I have little set backs.

I feel as if I can get my "house" in order then my life will follow. I'm working on cleaning out the old to make room for the new.
