UP EARLY-read

I woke up at 5. I will probably go back to sleep but probably shouldn’t. I have a lot I want to do before we leave for the country around noon.
1. Pack for the weekend-decide what hobby stuff to take
2. Go on treadmill for forty
3. Get nails done

I have been going on the treadmill as often as I can. This week I was on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and today will be four times this week. I want to do some weight training also as I’ve heard that building muscle will help lose weight.
I am determined to eat as well as I can. Last night I just had some nuts before bed. Better get some unsalted ones.
I went to the Health Food store yesterday. I bought some vitamins that are suppose to help my blood sugar. It cost me a fortune but I think they will help. I will know after I go to the doctor in the Fall. Of course I also test my blood sugar several times a week so will know from that too.
This morning hubby has an appointment with a dermatologist. He has something on his nose that the family doctor wanted him to check out. I hope it’s nothing because he never wears suntan lotion in Florida. When he returns home we will leave for the trailer. It’s my first time this season so I hope it is clean. We will have to make a food order which will be fun. I also plan to do some other shopping. I guess it will all depend when we get there. I want to buy a pair of black pants. I’ve been wearing jeans a lot but think black will be better for many evenings when we go out.
I am thinking about calling my doctor to see if there is a way to find out if there is a physical reason for me being so unhappy. Yesterday while driving I decided that there could be a reason for me being unhappy when there was no real reason for me being unhappy??????? Confused?
I may not have the internet for the weekend. Hubby ordered a DSL line so we have to wait for the modem etc. It’s suppose to come in five days. That would make it next week sometime. I will see if they let me use dial up just for the weekend. If not I guess I will survive even though it will be hard.
I am planning to buy tickets for Cirque Du Soleil. Hubby isn’t going so I will go with other women. I am also looking forward to the Jazz and Comedy festival.
There is so much to look forward to……….

I hope you have a wonderful time. :o) !! Oh, please DO have your doctor check for physical causes of your depression. A number of things can cause it. Just like my anxiety disorder….it’s purely caused by a chemical imbalance, and the medicine I take once a day gets rid of it ENTIRELY. Why feel bad when you could feel good? You deserve to feel good. hugs, Weesprite

Good advice from the Woodsprite. I hope your husband’s medical news is good. Sunscreen…I’m so fair-skinned I have to use it.

I’ve been doing the treadmill too. Sometimes I have to talk myself into it but I know it’s good for me. Have a nice weekend in the country. 🙂

Have a nice weekend! RYN Can you watch my videos? If so I will write an entry for you that will include them to help explain the place.

Take Woodsprite’s advice. I take antidepressants and they help so much. You have a lot to be grateful for and much to enjoy. The exercise should help your mental state as well. But you absolutely cannot overcome depression by sheer willpower alone.

hope you have fun in the country.

Your diet may have a lot to do with your depression. Giving up sugar and caffeine did wonders for me. It is better to maintain a steady blood sugar level than to let it go up and down all day. Eat smaller more frequent meals and don’t let yourself get too hungry. A good book to read is the Sugar Solution.

One word……….Antidepressant! Worked wonders for me. I couldn’t live without them. Just finding the right one is the hardest part.

I’m finding it much easier to lose weight when I drink 8 glasses of water each day, you may want to do that if you don’t already 🙂

Bless your heart – I hope you feel better soon! Your hubby NEVER wears suntan lotion???? We wear it every time we go out. Of course, Owl has NO pigment in his skin, but I used to be quite olive-skinned (I’m lighter now) Sun protection is a MUST at this altitude. Have that Dr. tell him to WEAR SUNBLOCK!

Ditto to Wordsprite’s message. Depression IS caused by a chemical imbalance. I have chronic depression and am on an anti-depressant regularly. I’ll take them for the rest of my life. Life wouldn’t be bearable without them. My mother always used to ask me what I had to be depressed about — it took me years to convince her that it wasn’t about someTHING … rather the chemicals in my body that affect my mood are what the problem is.

sounds good, nuts are very good for you of course, but not peanuts…they are very high in fat. hugs P
