WHY NOT?


A have read many very cute and funny blogs about families, mums and cute toddlers usually. The funny things toddlers say and do. It puts a smile to my face and brings a tear to eye when I think back to the toddler days in my house.


BUT

Why doesn't any one blog about their cute teenagers.?
How helpful they are around the house.
How loving and appreciative they are for everything their parents did and still do for them.
How they go out of their way to help others, you know, put others first.
How they keep their room clean and tidy just like their mums taught them.
Maybe parents could create an "OUR SPACE" just for parents where they could name and shame their teenage children.

We could place a picture before and after, to warn new parents of what can and in all probability will happen to that cute and adorable toddler.

It could also serve as a place where we can scream and let out our disappointment and frustration. Maybe someone could offer suggestions to parents, survival techniques for those teenage years.

We have all heard of the terrible two, but no one warned me of the terrifying teens.

Cute toddler verses shitty teenager.

I would love to hear about a teenager who has remembered anything that their parents taught them.

I know what you are going to say, It's just a stage. They will grow out of it.
I know that it's just a stage but I am wondering if I will live through it..

A day for change

Today is a good day for change. "They" say "A sure sign of insanity is to continue doing the same thing over and over the same way and expect a different result".

Not saying that is what I do, but I tend to change for a short time and then settle back into old habits, and yes, I expect things to change. (I must be Insane) Like I can make it change, because I want it to change. Dah...I guess it is the stubborn streak in me. Believing I have control over the end result, but unwilling to approach the problem in a different way.

I have descided today, as today is as good as any day. Not to mention its a day after my BIRTHDAY. To keep a diary of what I eat. and Record my health and weight progress. Plan only one day at a time. Just like an alcoholic I guess. I will treat food in just the same way. Monitor what I put into my mouth. 1 mouthful at a time.
I think I am having a light bulb moment.

NO I am not ready to post to the world, my diary, even though I know no one reads this Blog.

A Barrel load of Vitamins

I have been feeling pretty bad of late. You see for health reasons I take a barrel of vitamins every day. Just recently I have gotten hooked on frozen yogurt + fruit smoothies. and I was feeling great. Well as I was feeling so great I thought I would stop taking my barrel load of vitamins, after all they say you can't beat good wholesome food, to get all the vitamins you need.

Well that was great but I think it may have been the reason my cholesterol shot through the cholesterol barrier. Doc says I should avoid dairy, and all animal products.

Well that's when I started wilting, and it was a fast decline. As I had forgotten to resume my barrel load of vitamins each and every day.

Light bulb moment...take the vitamins....Am feeling so much better now.

Now Cholesterol...had a visit from a friend just yesterday..now he said that EGGS was the way to go...brought his cholesterol down so low it could not get a reading..

Remember the doctor said no animal products....I am taking up the challenge..two a day for 1 month...and then back to test my cholesterol... reading as of last visit was 6.8...I was shocked to. So I guess I will prove the doctor wrong or this will kill me..

Watch this space for results....mid February.

Piss of Shitty thoughts



I have felt so sick the last couple of days. I hate feeling sorry for myself, but I have days when I am dragged so far down, it is hard to keep positive. I continually remind myself that this is much better than the alternative.

Have you ever just shut your eyes, and wondered what it would be like never to open them again. I have. That's where POST comes in. PISS OFF SHITTY THOUGHTS And this saves me.

Visited my GP a few days ago. I felt worse when I left. Good news Blood pressure is good, bad news Cholesterol not so good..



So I have a challenge ahead of me to reduce my cholesterol. Bad fats ,Good Fats.

So I guess the rule is if it tastes good its bad, if it tates bad it' good.

I think I'm doomed.

If some one had asked me 10 years ago where I thought I would be today. I would never had thought I would have had any health issues. Boy, I have hit the jackpot.

So a lesson to each and every one out there. Do not put of till tomorrow what you can do today.
Because tomorrow, you may not have any choice.
