Hello, my lovely friends!
Thank you for all the love in my last blog. It truly means so much to me and it was incredibly hard to tell you all that. So, thank you for being wonderful and supportive of me. I have a plan to work through my problem. The guy I’m seeing online did some research and found an out-patient place that I can go to five times a week for meetings. Also, I decided to train for a marathon, not sure if I’m going to do one but I’m going to try my hand at running. I’m also changing up my diet. I did this when I quit smoking and did very well on it. So, I have a plan set up.
Let’s get back into the swing of things with this blog. How have you all been? What’s been going on? I really missed being here with you all. It’s been a little battle, but now that she’s off of the metformin she is really committed to doing better.
Our weather has been very spring-like here. Our temps were near 70s’ and will stay that way for the rest of the week. There’s no snow other than in the mountains. We’ll have a little bit of rain today, but back up in the 60s’. I’m going to clean up the garden containers to get them ready for the gardening season. The plan is to clean things up within the next month to have to ready for planting. Gardening will also help feed my soul and keep my head focuses on something.
There’s not a February coffee bar because the January one is still up. I just haven’t wanted to change it up. So, I think this weekend I might change it for March to have it done early.
My mom is doing well. Her doctor decided to take her off of Metformin because she’s been on it forever and they want to see how she does with just insulin because of her kidneys. So she’s just taking really good care of herself to keep those numbers down.
This week has been hard putting a plan together and working through it. I know I can do this and have so much support online and in person. I’m just taking it one day at a time and that’s the best I can do right now.
Thank you so much for stopping by today.
I wish you a good morning, afternoon or evening wherever you are.
Talk Soon…

It sounds like you have a solid plan in place. Being outside in the sunshine does wonders for body and the soul. Great news about your mom. Sending warm thoughts and hugs for the both of you. 🌞🤗💖
ReplyDeleteYes, keeping busy is working for me right now. I know once I can get out in the garden it'll be wonderful for me. Thank you for everything.
DeleteHave an amazing day! (((BIG HUGS)))
Good for you and I am so glad to hear your mom is doing well too. All good here, I decided to do just a once a month blog (not enough going on to do more) and if something exciting happens in between I will blog then but am happy with once a month. Huge hugs and prayers.
ReplyDeleteThank you. It was hard trying to come up with a blog under the circumstances that I was going through. Sometimes you just have to do what works for you.

Paula: Soooooo glad you have so many supports in place. That is what helps you accomplish success. And definitely, attending meetings is key. I just know in my extended family there were several who had addiction problems and attending meetings, having a sponsor, were both key to success.
ReplyDeleteSo good that your Mom got off Metformin! I pray she keeps her motivation. I spent 16 mths. on Metformin and have been off it for 12 yrs. Never looked back. Use nutrition and exercise to maintain a healthy blood sugar. It works! I also find that doing my weekly meal planning helps. No mental questioning . . .. what will I eat, when will I eat. It’s all planned out.
We have had really weird weather! Almost 60 yesterday, 50’s today and . . . . snow showers tomorrow. In the 30’s all weekend. UGH.
Can’t wait for gardening, as well. Definitely feeds the head and heart (and the tummy when we harvest the veggies we’ve planted!)
One day @ a time! You CAN do this. And you have LOTS of support.
HUGS and love

Things are going good so far this week. I'm just doing it day by day. My mom is so happy and her numbers are good so far.
DeleteYes, I want to get my garden going, but know I have months for that.
Have a lovely day! (((BIG HUG)))
