Hello, my friends! I hope you all have been doing well.
Some quick updates....
I have been feeling a bit better, for the most part. I've increased my OTC Vitamin D dosage a bit and added 2,500 mcg of B12 as well. I can tell a big difference. Not sure if it's because of the Vitamin D increase or adding the B12, or both. It really doesn't matter because it's working. So as long as it's helping, I don't care. I've been working with 10 lb weights at home to build some strength and it's been going well.
I have been having some weird head pains and strange sensations on the left side of my head so I have an appointment with a Neurologist on Monday. I'm excited about going! Maybe I'll get some answers soon.
I decided to join Weight Watchers (online). I've been doing it for about a week and it's going very well. Maybe the structure of a balanced program is what I need. I still worry about my "All or Nothing" complex and I'm working through it. I decided that I'll allow myself ONE day per week to eat whatever I want. No counting, no worrying, and no guilt. If I don't allow something like this, it won't work. I know myself well enough to admit that if I don't, I'll eventually go on a binging spree and it will just be a downward spiral from there. To be clear though, my "free day" doesn't mean I'll go and stuff myself full of junk. It just means that if I decide I want to have a slice of pie after dinner, or pasta for dinner....I will. I will still make my best effort to maintain moderation.
Okay, on to the main point of my post.
I think my blog needs a new name. I started this with a completely different idea for my blog basis. Over the past several months, things have come up. Health issues, mainly. While I still want to incorporate some crafty things every now and then, that's just not where I am right now. I want a simple title that captures my journey. My journey of striving for good health. My journey has been full of physical and emotional complications. I am continually striving though. Striving to find answers, striving to find peace, striving to be a better person, striving to find self-confidence, and fighting to live the life that I deserve. Notice I said "deserve". A few months ago, I would have never said that. So, although I've had all these unexpected health issues and struggled (physically and emotionally), I have made some progress. Progress is progress and I'll take it!
So, please comment and give me ideas. I want a title that's simple, but powerful. The only one I have come up with is "A Fight Worth Fighting". I really like it, but I want to REALLY be sure about it before I change it. So, let me know what you think. Ideas are welcome!
I hope all of you beautiful people are having great Friday! It's the weekend....make the most of it!
Until next time...
Great post, Pamela. I like the new title idea. You are really evolving. Congratulations on that!!
