December 19th, 2007

I know that the holidays are just around the corner and for many of you, especially the patients, it means a time of using extra energy that is at times not so easily found.

So I have prepared so suggestions for you to help you through the Christmas season.

#1 Rest when ever you can, take an afternoon cat nap, they are especially nice if you have a good book to curl up with. As for me, book in hand, sleep soon to follow ;-)!

#2 Rest where ever you can, whether it is in the car or in your favorite recliner or at Aunt Sally’s in “her” favorite recliner or rocker, Rest! This is the best thing you can do for yourself and for those around you!

# 3 Enjoy those around you and let them enjoy you. This is easily done when you follow #1 and #2. ;-)

#4 Make sure to eat at regular intervals, do not go for extended periods of time without consuming food, ya know like saving up for the big dinner, this will only mess up your blood sugar and make you feel lousy in the end.

#5 Drink PLENTY of WATER!!! Drink plenty of water!!! Keep yourself hydrated, any loss in your fluid intake can cause you to have muscle spams and I am sure most of you already have enough of those, you don’t need to increase these by not having good fluid intake, that means water!

and I will end with #6

#6 REST REST REST!!!!

Blessings~ 

Losing Weight Gaining Awareness Brochure

December 19th, 2007

Well I have tried to attach the brochure and am unable to because of Word Press  restrictions, it is a Publisher document so I am not sure what the problem is. I will see if I can copy and paste it so hopefully that will work alright. Can’t seem to copy and paste since it is in Publisher. So if you want to see it let me know and I will forward it to your email. There has to be a better way.

Blessings!

Hello everyone, sorry it has been so long since last post…

The good news is….ta ta ta ta ta ta I am down 40 pounds and 35.5 inches. WooHoo, Praise God!!!!!

That is a lot of taters!! ;-)

 I have my brochure ready to send out and will attached it on a post I will send out tomorrow. Please feel free to print off and pass around to whomever and where-ever you can.

We are all a team player here so we all need to get busy and move ahead with this.

I have sent an e-mail to the IMF contact to request an addition to be made to my site there showing the contributions thus far. Hopefully they can add like the thermometer thingy and that will begin rising. I am a third of the way to my goal, oh my goodness, a third of the way, WOW! How exciting. Now we just need to get the donations coming in.

I thought about planing a Poker Tournament, got the idea from Tackling Myeloma Foundation by Eli Alexander check out their site. www.tacklemyelomafoundation.com

Multiple Myeloma is on the rise not on the decline. So it is imperative that we get the information out there.

Blessings to you all,

Until tomorrow when I will send out the brochure.
