I went back to bed after getting the kids off to school this morning and slept until eleven thirty. I cannot believe I slept so long. I wasn’t feeling that well though and I guess my body needed the rest. Now my day is half gone and I have a ton of stuff to get done before the kids get home. I am pretty sure that I won’t finish all of it, as I still feel a little off. I can only hope that whatever laid me out this morning, doesn’t affect the kids and doesn’t get any worse. Wish me luck.
Setting up shop
My cousin is a doctor and has decided to start his own practice. I am helping him to set up the office. I just ordered the hospital carts needed for the electronic equipment that will be used in the office. Each room will need one for the computers the nursing staff will use to record data on as well as other equipment. I am so proud of him and very happy to help him organize and begin this phase of his career.
Getting healthy
Well as you know, I have type two diabetes. Losing weight is difficult for me, so I am going on a serious work out regimen. I found a protein powder that I will take to help me with that. A while back I bought a workout system to use, but haven’t been serious about it and it just sits in the family room not being used. The time has come for me to get off of my couch and finally do it.
Cellulite treatment
I have been seriously thinking about having a bit of cellulite treatment done. Cellulite can be caused by many different factors, such as
- Metabolism
- Physiology
- Dieting
- Skin Architecture
- Tissue Structure
- Hormonal Factors
- Genetic Factors
- Micro-circulatory System
- Extra cellular Matrix
- Inflammatory alterations
Weather it is hormonal, genetic, predisposing factors or life style, once you have it, it is there to stay without treatment. What ever treatment you choose however, is going to be an ongoing treatment, as there is no absolute cure.
There are many different treatments available, however only a few actually work. Laser treatment for cellulite is the leading treatment proven to work. Once you have gotten the cellulite under control, the number of treatments required per year are small. Usually a once a year treatment, much like having your teeth or eyes checked. A simple maintenance that is relatively quick and easy.
Learning about cellulite and it’s causes as well as treatments before committing to one, is of course the smart thing to do. After careful consideration, I have decided to go with laser treatment myself. Of all of the different treatments offered, laser treatment is the only one I have found that is truly backed by the FDA, according to my research.
Originating in Australia, the treatment goes down into the subcutaneous tissue where the cellulite originates and melts the small fatty cells away. This in turn firms up the skin and gets rid of those dimples we women are so self conscious about.
Face it, we all want to look good in that bathing suit during the summer months. Laser treatment can help us do just that, without the invasive surgery that can leave scars on our bodies, and still unable to wear those shorts and bathing suits we do desperately want to wear. Investigate for yourself and you will see exactly what I am talking about.
Time to get in shape
Okay, so it is definitely past time to get into shape. Between carrying children and type two diabetes, I have put on weight that I cannot seem to drop without more exercise than I am currently getting. I am going to use kettler fitness equipment to help me lose the weight I need gone. It really shouldn’t take very long to achieve and with any luck I can get rid of a lot of it before summer ends. It would be nice to be able to look a little better in my bathing suits.
My man says that the rowing machines would be my best bet. I have bad hips and this way it will not aggravate them. I certainly hope so. I am going to talk to my doctor first, before I actually buy anything. This way he can let me know what he thinks is best as well. wish me luck everyone.
Depression
Someone I love is seriously depressed. Depressed to the point of wanting to end it all. I am frightened for this person and I don’t know how to help him. I wonder how such a thing can happen, much like many of the things that happen in the world. This is close to me though and very difficult to deal with. I don’t want to make things worse, but I want to help. I want him to understand that so many people love him and that him leaving us would make things worse, not better. I am so upset right now.
Better appetite
Well my littlest one finally has his appetite back. After weeks of on again off again sickness, from a stomach bug to a cold and sinus infection the poor little guy just hasn’t felt like eating a lot. I felt so bad for him, but still had to make him eat so he didn’t lose weight. I am so happy that he is finally back to normal. I hate winter sickness. This time of year it is always the same thing. Sick sick sick….grrr
Kid home sick
Well this morning my son tells me he has some nauseousness and almost threw up. Of course I probably should have sent him to school anyway, because as I suspected, a couple of hours later he says he feels better. He was probably just tired because he had a hard time falling asleep last night and didn’t want to go to bed. I hate it when the kids pull this crap, because then when they really are sick I don’t want to believe them. It makes it very hard to decide when to keep them home and when not to. grrrrrr
More doctor appointments
Well now I have two doctors appointments for this week. One for each of the boys. I had to go get the little guy from school because he spiked a fever while there. Finally just decided to bite the bullet and make him an appointment because every other day he is running a fever. I have him laying down right now watching TV in his room. The Tylenol I gave him has taken effect and the fever is down, but you can tell he still feels poorly. grrrrr
sick again?
I hope this child is not getting sick again. There has been a virus going around his school and even the teachers have all gotten it. He was sick last week with it and I am praying that it has not come back. He came home and sat on the couch for a few minutes playing video games, then fell asleep. I really don’t want all the other kids getting it too.
