Alyse-New Update

-

 Its been awhile, so much has happened.

So since I last updated I had just got my membership at the gym and was working on meditation. 

I've been working out pretty consistently and can lift 50 more lbs than when I started (lol I know it seems silly but I'm very proud of myself), my goal weight is 125lbs, I am at 142lbs and have lost 23lbs, more than halfway!!!! I haven't been great at eating for my body lately, just been eating what I want at the time but the last couple days I have been much better and plan on continuing. 

I've been going to Yoga classes at my gym as well and I love it, definitely recommend.   

I've been meditating at least once a day and find that it really helps clear my thoughts and build up newer and and better ones. 

I started a savings account finally haha, and have started saving which has brought so much peace to my anxiety.

For those who don't know, I was diagnosed with bipolar depression and I am working on getting the right medication, learning coping mechanisms and just doing my best through manic and depressive episodes and psychosis. My night terrors are back but I found eating well and listening to meditation tapes as I sleep helps a bit. I'm also working on getting a therapist that I like.

Now for my new goals: I am trying to read a book a month, right now I am reading a biography about Gandhi. I trying to practice my Itailian everyday, drink at least half a gallon of water a day, if not a whole gallon, and stay away from bread.

I think that's everything for now, have a good week!

Life Was Not Meant to Be Easy.-Aubrey

I think it is so important to understand that life was never meant to be easy. I have been really struggling lately. Some emotional and some physical, but it is kicking my butt. I have been trying to figure out what I can do to help me, but also properly execute my responsibilities at home as a wife and mother. I have been struggling to even just do the basics without losing my temper or checking out (Aaron has watched quite a bit of tv lately).  I made a check list that is pretty redundant, but it is necessary sometimes with my currant state of mind. It is divided into 4 parts; Personal, Kids, Zach, and Family/House. It has things as little and consistent as prayers and as changing as the specific chores that need to be done that particular day. My checklist haste been a really good way for me to feel like I am getting things done, but also lets me know what I might be neglecting. I noticed this last week that I have put more importance on everybody else so yesterday when I would ...

 Long time no see! Austin and I are finally getting into more of a routine. His class work load is so much easier since switching majors from Mechanical Engineering to Manufacturing Engineering Technology. He's hoping that he might be able to squeeze in a weekend to go hunting this fall, he still needs to call Cameron and talk about it though.  We will be 28 weeks tomorrow, and I am so excited! The weather is starting to cool off, I've got most of our baby stuff washed, organized, and ready to go, and the fall colors are starting to show in the trees! Tonight is our 4/5 hypnobirthing class, and we will be spending the majority learning how to use counterpressure techniques and stuff to help during labor, which I'm pretty pumped about. ALSO, Austin and I both have job interviews on Friday! It's for seasonal positions at Artco (The Occassions Group) making greeting cards for the holidays. They are incredibly flexible with schedules (literally work whenever you want, as th...

 This week is feeling redundant.  I know I still need to get to sleep but I'm so tired of trying and failing so now I want to change my goal.  However, like I said, I still need to get to sleep on time.  So I have as of not yet done much energy work on it and have on many other things which have improved.  Reasons I have failed to use it for this my current goal are many and right now sound like a bunch of excuses so I'm skipping those and today, Monday, am implementing at least one, maybe two techniques.  I will report on any results good or bad and I want progress on this one this week.  I am also going to include it heavily in my prayers, throughout the day if necessary.  This non progress has been the story of my efforts for a long time.  Since I know I'm supposed to focus on it then I am assuming I'm supposed to progress at it.  So here goes this week.  Goals: Planning meeting with God as soon as I am dressed and awake Alarm at...
