Without A Vision ...

Well, thank goodness you can't catch any cooties over the Internet, because our whole house has been sick this week, and I just feel like I have germs all over me.

A couple of days ago, I realized that fifteen years ago, and a hundred pounds ago, I used to do so so much more in every day! I was thinking of how I used to run around every day, full of energy, getting so much accomplished everyday, without even trying! My energy levels were just so much higher, that I naturally accomplished much more.

Wow, this is a real wake up call to me.  I know maybe getting older is part of it, but if I was in shape, I would be able to just a lot more -- naturally. Now, I have to push myself, to get things done, and to keep going, I have to really push myself. I HATE admitting that, but this is about being honest, and that's the truth.

World's Healthiest Foods

Well, since deciding to lose weight again, I have felt perplexed about how I am going to do this. The problem is,  have been reading diet books since I was thirteen years old. (The first one I ever read was Richard Simmons' book, "Never Say Diet," written way back in 1982.) And so from reading A LOT of books on dieting, exercise, body, and all of that, it still has not resulted in permanent weight loss. The amount of information out there can be overwhelming to me, and this discourages me, rather than encourages.

I have done the studying, but not the application. So, I feel like I need a fresh start, and a different approach. I admit it - it's a bit daunting to try again, so I want to do something different, to encourage myself. 

Trailer Princess out of the Trailer

Well, since I last wrote in this blog, a lot has changed in my life. For one, I am no longer in the trailer, but I still love the name! We have moved to the city, and live in an 80's bi-level. It's still kind of tight, and some of the same issues still apply, but it's nice to be in a house!

We have struggled since moving, because the trailer still has not sold, a year later! We have been trying to pay for two places for the last year, and that is not a good financial position to be in, unless you are independently wealthy.


Well, more about this blog. This blog will be about anything home-related: cats, housework, cooking. It's about home, and anything related.



My two other blogs are related to the body (100togo )  and the spirit (Prayers to My LORD). This blog will be about anything else.

As I mentioned in my last post, I have been learning a lot about online writing, and website building, etc. The more I learn, the more I realize I know almost nothing. There is so much learn, that it very overwhelming to me. I absolutely love the idea of being a full time blogger, but getting there seems impossible.

In my ideal world, I would love to be able to just do my blogs, and work on some articles, and that would be enough to get by. I guess it's just that I love writing blogs, and articles! It's so much fun, and seems so meaningful.


Like I said, I have been learning a lot, but I really don't know how to make it work full-time. It's crazy difficult, and unlike a traditional job, there's really no real person to train you. I mean, you can read online as much as possible, but how do you know if you are doing it right? It's crazy!

What about you? Do you dream of blogging for a living? Or are you there? Or are you content for your blog to be a wonderful, fulfilling hobby? Take care!

Husband Gives a Nod of Approval to Healthy Diet

Well, I have the approval now from my husband to start a healthier menu at our house. Now, it's up to me to make it happen, as the chief chef in our household. Losing weight, while married, has its own challenges, one of which is to make food for everyone that they will eat, and still make it healthy.

For the last year, I have not been formally trying to lose weight. I am getting back on the horse again, and am going to go for it again. I found that cooking for a husband and teenager has made it "feel" impossible, and I guess I have used this as a reason not to try very hard. Now,that reason is gone. My dear husband has agreed to a healthy diet. He is trusting me, the dear sweet thing. And that means I can cut out the unhealthy food from our table, at least for the most part. For me, I have to start becoming aware again.

It's Been Two Years!

I'm baaaacck!!! I am back from a year off of blogging, and two years from this site blog. It's funny, because I never forgot about the blogs, even though I did not update. I have been doing a lot of writing, and learning about the online world, through an exciting site called Hubpages.

I also just made a website. I used to think a website was a big deal, but now everybody and their cat has a website, so no biggie! I am interested in working online as my "thing," and the website is the first step. To be honest, I have been a bit intimidated by trying to put this website together, because I stressed about if it was right, or done in the best way it could be. But finally, I just thought, "oh well," let's go for it, and I can make it better as I go. So here goes!


Please bear with me for the next little while, as I get oriented again, to these blogs. Cheers!
