Journey- to- Wellness: Journey- to- Wellness

Journey- to- Wellness: Journey- to- Wellness

Today is Saturday June 24,2006

This has been a hard and very busy week and it takes me so long to get on this computer and write my blog. I have to admit I am very fatihful to Heather It s like I need to read what she says.
Heather, I do think of you as a mentor and a coach I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you. I find I try so hard to be able to write back to Heather and get my true feelings out that it pushes me away from my own blog because I place such importance on Heathers There is so much to learn I am so damn slow about learning and even forming opinions
It is Saturday afternoon I am so exhausted. Its very hot but very hazy. The old me would be down at my pool for the day. I am still having trouble going to the pool And I know I need that exercise. I need it to make my body stronger and I need it to maintain my weight which is really out of control right now. One day I feel lean and flat stomach and the next I am a bloated pig. My constitpaton has a lot to do with it and Ihave been eating poorly .I try and then I forget. Its not that I am eating bad I eat all healthy foods and lots of fruit and veges but I am not getting balanced nutrition Sometimes I just need to eat what's there and I have been eating at odd times.
Well the back and leg pain have gotten way out of control. I am taking too much pain med.
My primary hasn't goptten back tome oin a week after numerous phone calls and a letter. So I am putting myself in charge making my own decisions even if they don't agree with my husbands I am dealing directly with Blue Cross or my providers In physical therapy I made them change my program I was making no progress Now I am getting a deep tissue massage and stretching and the electric stim
When I left Thursday it was the best feeling from there in a long time. I am starting my rolfing on Thursday and I started with my old chiropractor from years ago I have always liked him and believe in him and trust him. There is no insurance there but I am committed so that a lot of cash out of my pocket and I mean my pocket not our pocket which means I am going to have to give up my private pilates and yoga and qigong. Maybe I can work in some classes. Also no splurges on Coach or Nordstums. I have my session with Rhonda. But that will be it I really have a lot of faith in the chiropractic and if insurance comes through on acupuncture I will be thrilled
I am going to be going nearly every day for a year. Plus my other medical appointments at UCLA and therapy.
I know I will have to work my business more. I am in the Skin Care Business and I sell Arbonne.
Even in this crazy week with pain, new refriderator shopping and seeing my best friends new baby I managed 2 presentations and did quite well. One this morning after yoga class whichis why I am probably so tired I had so much trouble getting up maybe I need that nap. It was going to be a relaxing weekend as I have 2 really busy ones coming up.
So I will close for now Thank you all so much for listening to my storiesI feel renewed faith with Roger (the chiropractor) and the Lord. I believe things are going to start getting better and I am never going to have that back surgery
Lots of love to all
In Health

Hi Karen, Thank you for your kind words about my blog. Having your comments on my blog has been truly heartwarming -- and having you in my life has been a tremendous joy!

I love that you continue to share your journey with us in your blog too! You do so much -- it's just amazing -- and while I know you are feeling tired & in pain -- I wonder if you are patting yourself on the back for all you have done? I wonder if you are looking at what you haven't done & judging yourself -- when actually, there is so much you have done?

Anyway, I feel lucky to have you in my life! I'll be adding your Arbonne link to my website & I hope you put a link in your blog too, so people know how to buy those great skin care products from you.

What were you presenting on? I'm glad they went well!

With love,
Heather
