with my whole idea of losing weight!
In fact, when I got home the other day I weighed in and was up eight pounds. Eek!
Back in the day I used generic Phentermine and Xenical to help me lose weight.
I’ve decided that this time I’m going to do the “eating better” and breastfeeding diet!
I think it might actually work!
It seems like lately I’ve had so many aches and pains. I think it’s because I’m getting older and the good ole’ body just isn’t moving the way it used to move. I’ve thought about looking into osteoarthritis relief, however, I’m not sure it’s actually that.
One thing I might do towards the new year is look into getting in shape. I’ve thought about joining the gym for about 6 months now and I keep waiting for someone else to join with me. However, I’m starting to realize that’s probably not going to happen and I should just suck it up and join by myself.
With Shawna being pregnant and her getting bigger…I feel the need to eat just as much and even eat her leftovers!
This could get very dangerous.
When I was the director of an assited living residence that catered to people with Alzheimer’s and Dementia I saw both early and late stages of the disease.
Many of the people who were able to catch the early signs of Alzheimer’s were able to treat it better with medication, exercises and get the necessary care with trained healthcare professionals.
Some of the families that either ignored the signs or caught it later weren’t able to use the same medications and many times weren’t able to prepare as well for the future.
November 13th is Nationial Memory Screening Day. The Alzheimer’s Foundation of America is hosting free screenings at nearby sites.
Alzheimer’s Foundation of America has a great website that offers information on “Successful aging tips”.
If you think you or your loved one’s memory might be suffering then I would encourage you to take place in the free and confidential memory screening in your area.
You really have nothing to lose and putting the testing off could make things a lot harder down the road.
Many people give money to non-profits that seek a cure - however, I think it’s equally important to support the families that are currently dealing with the disease and provide them with information and services to help during a very difficult time.
Unfortunately, there still isn’t a cure for Alzheimer’s and millions of families that are affected.
You know it’s bad when you’ve been putting off going to the dentist! I decided that I should cut corners and only get a cleaning once every year. Of course, in looking at my teeth I think I should probably be a little bit wiser about what to spend money on.
They were able to get me in this morning at 11:00 for a cleaning and I’m not sure what that’s going to include now that I’m pregnant. I’m guessing that I won’t be able to have x-rays and more than likely if there is dental work we might have to put it off until the baby comes.
Here’s hoping that I haven’t been grinding my teeth too much! Margot keeps reminding me that she’s not going to buy me another set of teeth!
This morning I went for a chiro appointment and she’s so great. Last night I was having some pain between my shoulder blades and today Dr. Chiro was able to pop me back to normal. I swore I’d never be into the popping and still the thought grosses me out…but…it’s so refreshing and I feel so much better afterwards.
Plus, I think it helps that this lady specializes in pregnant women so she doesn’t do big and dramatic pops…instead she keeps it pretty simple and gives a nice massage afterwards.
