New Year Intentions

Goals for my 2011 year...these are intentions. I learned this from Ali Sweeney so gotta give credit, where credit is due :) Resolutions are definitly overated and something we're destined to fail at. With intentions, we can intend to do em, no failure if we dont, besdies they're just challenges to overcome!


1.) Strengthen my faith.
2.) Learn to relax.
3.) Spend more on others.(both time and money)
4.) Lose weight
5.) Get fit and toned (same thing?) heh!
6.) Eat healthier
7.) Drink more water ( i drink water, tons i need more!)
8.) Try new things
9.) Dress better.
10.) Save on groceries and other things, so basically...save more money.

First blog of the New Year

Today is quite cold--such a wonderful snow day--as "best" as they can get with clear roads and a white ground. Course, its Oklahoma, so the fact remains that half of it is melted.
Hambugers made a great dinner tonight, mine minus the bread and cheese and all the fixings. Oven baked fries topped off the hambugers, sprayed with cooking spray and sprinkled with salt and pepper.

Life has been pretty good. The usual. Tho, I've gained another 20lbs to the 25 I lost :( Due to the steroid shots and oral steroid tablets,a nd Im sure that it didnt help that I didnt eat right, so now Im back to trying to do that again now that the holidays and "fat cooking" is over. ;)

Steroid wise, well, I think I need to say oops I might have missed some appointments. and I'm avoiding steroid shots at all cost--if you ever had em and didnt have sedation--Im talking the lumbar/back shots with the pencil size and length needles---somethign I never care to do again, but uhm....doc says I do need one more injection inside my si joint. I think its safe to say Im unexcited and I haven't made an appointment to do that. They offered to give me valium---right, sure lets make me "care less" if i have the shot---but its still gonna hurt like crazy --and then theres what I call the "aftermath" of the injections.
Those are just as bad if not worse than the injections themselves!
Pain from those shots bec of the buildup of fluid---I cry all day the next day and swear up and down im done with the injections, but then a month rolls around and I do indeed feel better. So....yeah back I go. Well anyhoo!

Hope you all had a wonderful christmas and rang in the new year safely. Lots of hugs and smiles from my home to yours!
