Today...

Today, I woke up so sore. I had to call off from work :( I have a tremendous amount of pain in my left arm from the shoulder to the end of my fingers, all the way down my left leg, my back hurts, and now my right ankle is starting to ache. I have faithfully followed the sugar control diet I have been place on. So why do I hurt today??? My Dr. is out of town this week, and my chiropractor is not in on Tuesday's. I hope and pray tomorrow is a better day!

Spring Break 2008

Diet, Rest, Exercise

I went to my Dr. appointment last week and she is having me follow the strict (sugar control) diet that the Chiropractor gave me the day he told me I had Fibromyalgia. She took time with me and went over the list of food I can and can't have. Gave me ideas for lunches on the go (work). I am to call back next week if I think I need to see a dietitian.
Three things to help with fibromyalgia Diet, Rest, Exercise...
Saturday morning before work I was cleaning out the pantry of things that I can no longer have, which is almost everything in there. Andy sat at the table telling me what he still wants me to keep, for the nights he has to make dinner for himself, because i am closing at work. I sat there sorting through all these baking supplies and the tears just started rolling down my face. I struggle with the idea of not making cookies anymore. That has been a part of my life for many years and something I truly enjoyed. Some people say sure you can still make them for others, but the temptation would still be there!

Loss...Health...Life...

Loss...I was sadden by the news of a former boss, Wally Bronner from Bronner's CHRISTmas Wonderland passed away. I had the opportunity to work at Bronner's for about 5 years. He was always a happy man with a warm hello, a joke, or a story to share. My heart goes out to the Bronner Family in there time of loss.

Health... I have a Dr. appointment today. I was recently told I have Fibromyalgia.
I have been place on a Sugar Control Diet. That means no processed foods, soda, candy, cookies, wheat products or wheat like products, potato's, noodles (pasta), etc...

Life... I have reflected on a question a friend was asked!
"When you going to grow up and do something with your life?"
I think of things in my life that I would like to be different.
I want to be a better christian!
I want to be a better wife, family member and friend!
I want and need a different job!
I often wonder...
"What is my purpose in Life?"
