Hello Friends.... been awhile...

Saturday, January 12, 2013

Hi everyone. I know it's been a few months but I thought I would update you on what's going on. They have finally gotten to the root of the cause with my health! We think so anyway. We suspected fibro but I wasn't being treated for it before now. The headaches are still nearly every day, but friday they gave me tegratol and addaral, not sure I spelled those right. The addaral is keeping me awake and fighting the fatigue. The tegratol seems to be helping with the headaches. Keep your fingers crossed!

On a happier note, I have gotten remarried to an amazing man who takes awesome care of me. I couldn't be happier to finally have a real, sane, heartfelt man in my life. :)

Looking forward to the weekend!

Wednesday, October 24, 2012

I have a new man ya'll! And he's awesome! I surely didn't intend on someone like him to come along, but he has and I'm grateful. He's got diabetes, which he's been keeping under control. He used to take insulin, but lost 70 lbs, and now he doesn't need insulin! I have been staying on him about checking his sugar and such, but he is all about us walking or working out together. He's so supportive! I am looking forward to my new phase in this journey. And I'm proud that with everything going on between May and now, I've still lost weight, instead of gained it. Whew.

So this weekend, my honey is taking me to this little cabin resort out near Hot Springs, AR. I am so excited! There are hiking trails, ATV trails, fishing, shooting ranges...

Things are really working out wonderfully for me, and I couldn't be happier right now! Now all I need to do is cut back on the Diet Mt Dew's, the sweet teas, and get some more exercise in. I'm still not released from the doctor for any really good fitness, but something is better than nothing!

My grandma is doing fantastic!! My son is doing alright. They've readjusted his meds some, and he's having a rough time getting used to them so far. We're just watching and praying it works out. My honey is amazing, and I cannot even begin to tell you how much stress has been lifted completely off me since my ex walked out my door! I had no idea how much stress he caused me, but I'm so much better now!

I can't wait to get back into the swing of things. I hope each and every one of you are doing fantastic too!!

XOXO

    very positive blog! Love is a wonderful thing and am happy you found it with someone who is going to be supportive. It is always better when you have someone there who is supportive and works out with you!

I hope your son gets used to his med changes soon. I work with adults with special needs and when the doctors change their meds ore decrease\increase meds everyone deals with the fall out!

Well, I'm here....

Wednesday, October 10, 2012

July 25th was the last time I was logged on here. Just to update you, my DH and I did not work things out. He did come back, crawling on his knees literally, asking me to take him back. I did, and 3 weeks later, he walked out behind my back as soon as I left for work one morning. Good riddance is what I say. No, I haven't had the time to get to the gym, with having to take care of my kids and now I don't get off until 5pm instead of 4pm, but I am no longer on a bunch of meds to handle my moods. They are unnecessary now that he's gone! My life is much simpler and easier, and I didn't even realize it would be so easy without him.

Thank you all for the concerns and thoughts and prayers, they are very appreciated. I am doing wonderful though. My mom and grandma are doing very well (grandma came home Labor Day weekend), and my son is doing FANTASTIC! He did take the separation with my DH pretty tough, but he's doing so much better now.

Much love and hugs to all of you, thank you so much!!

Cheryl

    I'm very happy you're back! I'm sorry about all the stress and strife you had to go through to get better, but it sounds worth it - the more distance you can put between then and now the better, eh? That your son is doing fantastic is the best news of all! What a huge relief for him and for you.

Sorry its been so long

Wednesday, July 25, 2012

My DH and I had a disagreement, and now he's decided he doesn't watnt to work it out. This is absolutely devastating. I'm trying not to snack though. in fact the thought of eating anything at all is making me sick. So that explains where my weight loss is coming from. Hugs sent this way would be really appreciated.

    Like the others have told you some times it takes time to step back and regroup and try to work things out praying that is what takes place. You both have had a lot going on in your life this summer. and the stress of it all just hit him and he needs to have to sort things. know your Spark friends are here to listen and send hug s and special thoughts your way. emoticon emoticon emoticon emoticon emoticon emoticon emoticon emoticon emoticon emoticon

Sorry you're going through this, yes it's devastating. Be kind to yourself, try and get outside for a while every day. If you've got somewhere beautiful locally, take yourself there and enjoy the scenery. It won't stop the heartache, but you just might find yourself distracted from the pain for a few minutes.

Keep busy. See the popular blog about Rage Running, it might inspire you. If not, how about Cursing Cleaning? Curse (out loud if there's no-one around) about every little niggle of his that you ignored whilst cleaning - it's amazing how much elbow power it gives you.

Eat little and often of your favourite healthy foods. Have healthy snacks ready cut in the fridge, in baggies, on your desk. Have cold water in a glass in the fridge, or on your desk. Have handcream at the ready and put some on when a snack attack threatens - 1) you've pampered yourself 2) you won't want to get handcream on your snack/crumbs on your hands.

Call a girlfriend and ask if you can visit. It gets you out, and talking instead of brooding.

Finally, {{{hugs}}} again

Singing is another great outlet - for rage/pain. emoticon
