My Confessions

by | Dec 18, 2013 | Auto-immune, The Magnificent Journey, Weight

I have a confession to make; I have been neglecting my meditation time with God/Jesus for over a month. I let my pain; discomfort, distractions, and being plain old miserable dictate the peace and comfort I receive from reading my daily devotionals in my Amplified...

A New Idea

by | Oct 1, 2013 | Auto-immune, The Magnificent Journey, Weight

One week has passed since I got the hopeful news from Otolaryngologist. I have been processing the new information and ruminating on what my future looks like. Yes, I am nervous about my upcoming surgery October 9th. I am always a bit anxious when I am facing surgery,...

The Path

by | Sep 19, 2013 | Auto-immune, Books/Music, The Magnificent Journey, Weight

I have been reading my daily devotional “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young and this particular phrase she writes hit me hard. “Though I may lead you along paths that feel alien to you, trust that I know what I am doing. If you follow Me wholeheartedly, you will discover...

Back To The Basics Week 1

by | Sep 2, 2013 | The Magnificent Journey, Weight

    I joined another challenge; I sort of gave up on the Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans. It was too hard for me to keep my body moving with the exercises along with my leg swellings and such. I have come to the conclusion that I must do the old lady...

Sisterhood Week 1

by | Aug 14, 2013 | The Magnificent Journey, Weight

Confession time, week one of the challenge did not go so well. First, I over ate big time a few days this week and I only exercised two days this week, how pathetic is that?  I have no idea why I let myself down after declaring my desire for movement and good...

Renew

by | Aug 12, 2013 | Auto-immune, Books/Music, The Magnificent Journey, Weight

  Good morning, I hope you had a wonderful weekend. I had a quiet and reflective weekend. Friday I was reading in my devotional “Jesus Calling” and Ephesians 4:22-24” Strip yourself of your former nature put off and discard your old unrenewed self which...

Sharing Spoons

by | Aug 9, 2013 | The Magnificent Journey, Weight

  A New Kind of Normal is re-launching her Sharing Our Spoons and I decided I want to join. I am so tired of my life right now. I realized this yesterday as I kept stuffing my face, out of boredom, out of anger, out of loneliness, and out of sadness.  Somehow I...

That Time Again.

by | Aug 6, 2013 | Auto-immune, The Magnificent Journey, Weight

It is that time of again, my weekly update. Let me tell you it was a challenging week, but I am through it. First of all, I had to go the ER Monday night and spent 7 hours there. Not fun, but I had a nice nurse that made it bearable. Just below my stoma I have a...

August Challenge!

by | Aug 3, 2013 | The Magnificent Journey, Weight

  I was reading “A New Kind of Normal” talking about Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans and how the challenges helped inspire her to show off her scars and not be ashamed of them. I felt inclined to look everything up and see what they have to offer. I did, I am...

Progress!

by | Jul 24, 2013 | Auto-immune, Books/Music, The Magnificent Journey, Weight

Can you believe a week has slipped by again? I can’t. First, a big pat on my back, I got the security code so that I can use the treadmill or bicycle in my apartment buildings gym. Saturday I walked for 5 minutes on the treadmill even with my calf hurting. I was...

Vegetable Saute

by | Jul 19, 2013 | Auto-immune, The Magnificent Journey, Weight

I found some great vegetables some of them needed to be cooked right away. So I made this yummy sauté of the different vegetables and let me tell you it was yummy. I know eating lots of greens and vegetables helps my body to keep going when I am having a flair up. I...

Goals Await Me

by | Jul 18, 2013 | Auto-immune, The Magnificent Journey, Weight

Update time, I was busy yesterday so that I didn’t get a chance to write or even go on the Internet until late at night. I enjoyed my day. I got my cupboards washed and waxed, a toaster over to use, and an opportunity to visit with one of my sisters. I still have not...

That Time Again

by | Jul 11, 2013 | Auto-immune, The Magnificent Journey, Weight

    This week has been a roller coaster ride of emotions. I have been eating a lot more than I usual do. I have not been doing the myfitnesspal, I know, I haven’t cared what I have been putting in my mouth because I am so frustrated and flustered with all...

Lessons From A Tomato Plant

by | Jul 8, 2013 | The Magnificent Journey, Weight

Sitting outside on my patio looking at my growing tomato plant, seeing all the fruit that is being produced kind of brought me to the realization that I am like my tomato plant.  When I bought my tomato plant in May it was small, didn’t look healthy at all, but it...

Yeah Me!

by | Jul 3, 2013 | Auto-immune, The Magnificent Journey, Weight

  Wednesday is here again, and Independence Day is upon us. I loathe Independence Day, not because I am not patriotic. I love my country, I just don’t like all the explosions that happen and how some individuals don’t use their brains very well during this time...
