Full of Thoughts Today...Me...Sage

I got up earlier today and made my sons sandwiches for his lunch and took my supplements, vitamins, and honey with 7 grain hot cereal, dressed, took him to work, doing some computer work and getting ready to go find a place to walk today..something different..its hot but I like to sweat and feel like Im accomplishing something..like to feel my legs build up. When I had my surgery, my gastric bypass surgery, I lost weight so fast that I also lost my muscle tone in my legs and arms, so Im trying to build them back up with my new lease on life and health kick Im on. I enjoy it, immersing myself in the studies of herbs and fitness and health tips.  I like that I feel better and feel I am back from the dead.

I got up and went to a different part of the Yukon City Park, different trails, these marked by the quarter mile and gazebos and crepe myrtle everywhere.  I was met by joggers and walkers alike. I was walking at a good steady pace and with the heat, I had worked up that sweat I mentioned earlier, but again as I also felt my leg muscles work, it made me feel good..

I came home and fixed a Weight Watchers Smart Start, macaroni and cheese with salisbury steak and a diet pepsi and have sat down to my computer to write this...I like writing what I do, its a testament to what I was feeling, doing and Im not alone, someone reads and understands me. I have goals.  I want to firm what I lost up.  I had lost so much that I have alot of untoned areas..when I let go of all the meds a over-prescribing dr. had me on and I woke up, I didnt like what I saw in the mirror..I was a skeleton, I had let myself go.  So I started eating again. Making myself til I got to the point where I was overdoing it with bad fats and sugar..I overgained my goal about 10 lbs, so I decided to do what all the fitness people say and start from scratch..do it healthy and remember its for life, a state of mind. Stay at a healthy weight and stay healthy period. So I studied magazines and surfed the net, on herbs and natural remedies, I went to the old place I used to inhabit at one time, the organics health food store (Before I gained so much weight and had the surgery, I used to work out daily and eat organically and use supplements before), bought healthy supplements and vitamins, my favorite bottled green teas by the case, went to the deli and got healthy meats for my wraps,  chicken and turkey and lean beef, fish and shrimp and made single servings in foil, bought fat free butter, bought healthy grains to have a hot breakfast with ultimate healthy flaxseed in it, trail bars, wheat tortillas, Smart Start weight watchers dinners...and grapes to freeze, cherry yogurt for snacks...the list is endless if you really want to make it work and I look for new ideas always..I get excited to be in a healthy lifestyle now..I immerse myself in beauty tips..bought subscriptions to Glamour, Cosmo, Elle, First magazine for women, Shape among some, and I keep my nose always in one of my fitness or beauty magazines..on payday, I take my wishlist and pick a couple of things I can afford to get, manicure, pedicure, waxing, new shirts or makeup from Avon, go to the mall and hit Victorias Secret and Bath and Body, go to Akins Health and Organics market, I give myself a gift always, I think good of myself and I take pic.s of different poses which make me feel beautiful for making myself look good. Life is good again..I have purpose..

My grandsons are the light of my life besides my now adult children.  I enjoy making them happy and interacting with them.  I love to watch them grow..like to enjoy my kids interests..thats even piercings, tattoos, the rodeo, camping, fishing and their jobs. I enjoy setting up days to see my oldest who is married and his wife with the boys. Dinners and days spent at the spa...My daughter and I getting pedicures together...we even got our last tattoos together. Both on our feet, looks pretty with our sandals..going walking with my middle son whenever he is not working days. Going places together, seeing movies together. Enjoying a Pay Per View Movie with a batch of Chili's famous salsa and chips....

I enjoy Facebook and all my friends..I talk to them and comment and constantly enjoy new posting..I have all my old myspace friends on Facebook now, and I have family, my kids, my girlfriends that moved from here, friends from the past, enjoying keeping up with all of them.

I like to go to campgrounds and lakes and swim...I like to cookout..we grill alot out..but its especially fun at a lake...Fishing early in the morning, fog on the water, fish fighting against the pole to splash up on shore, the kids smiles as they yell that theyve caught another, sharing powdered donuts for breakfast...then driving around the lake. We used to go in a boat when we had a boat but now we drive around the campsites looking at all the people and their makeshift homes away from home..cooking over the fires and on the grills...looking at the swimming beach..out in nature enjoying our day...going back to the campsite and getting out our foods to grill and weiners and marshmellows for the fire...burgers and chicken for the grill...chips, potato salad, pork n beans, fresh sliced tomatos and onion, jars of dill pickles and all the condiments. Enjoying our feast and then getting dressed at the bathrooms in our bathing suits to enjoy a nice swim in the refreshing waters of the lake...I miss being there today..ready for another outing..

My mind is on the television now as I sit and write as my daughter who just went and got a new piercing to her lip, is sending me pictures off her IPhone and watching some Disney show..Im ready to post and ready to read the comments of who all Ive shared my thoughts with today....Sage

Just my thoughts and enjoyments
