Been a while since I wrote, been a little bit down lately, still fighting hard to stay healthy, it is my financial situation that is hurting my efforts, but I have really stuck to my plan despite this, because all though I can't buy all of the healthy food I want to buy, I have not used this as an excuse to eat junk food. I have been to party after party where I did not eat hot dogs, hamburgers, pizza, passed on cakes and Ice cream and cookies. My only offense was eating chicken nuggets at work. I can feel the regression when I don't eat the greens, I am craving broccoli, I don't have the money to buy my vitamins. I am really angry because I have been working so hard and I am just not making it. My dog is sick, I have to make some decisions as to her well being and my sanity very soon. It costs so much to have a sick animal, I can't let my bills go to save her,The thought of putting her down over this makes me sick.
Also winter is coming up very quickly and I HAVE to have new tires on the car by the snowfall.
Still I am more determined then ever to stay healthy. My husband told me tonight that potato chips are not fried anymore.........REALLY! I thought he was making progress, but that's really just unbelievable!!
I find that life is like swimming upstream all of the time. I take pride in being a battler, but sometimes you just wish for a break.
So yes, I am a bit on the depressed side right now, but I am not going to let that overwhelm me. I see so many people battling depression, but they continue to eat bad food, sweets, drink too much, etc....I just want to shake them and say don't you get it....what you put into your body is EVERYTHING!!!
Politics is really so frustrating for me....I have a strong viewpoint, but I mostly have to sit on it....still hate the nasty back and forth it has become.
Have not worked on any clay projects lately. I have an idea to get some people together to help defray the cost at the craft mall, have not gotten past the idea stage yet, but I am going to need to get busy very soon if i am going to have any money for the holidays. I have been working on the dollhouse, I think I see the end in sight for the roof, been putting on shingles for nearly the whole year. Figured out a problem that was bugging me. I take it has real progress when I can get in there on a weekday to work, esp since my weekend are often so tied up.
Done some Civil war but financially it has been hard this year, great time at Greenfield village. I am going to take some days off for vacation, would love to go to Frankenmuth for the day. I plan on camping at Wolcott Mill, lets hope that all works out.
I have more to say, but for today I am pretty tired. Thanks for checking in, Mrs Cook
