Butt Bustin' Babes

 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...

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 ...

 So good and bad this week.  I've done relatively well on the goals I'm not tracking here but not much different on my sleeping.  I didn't even finish tracking last week because I was so busy.  I plan on this week being better so here is the goal again. Goals: Planning meeting with God as soon as I am dressed and awake Alarm at 9:00- wrap it up and go get ready for bed. Alarm at 9:30- time to put it down now and go do my report meeting, afterwards do my routine. Routine includes electronic free time, cleaning up last minute things, getting dressed, washing my face, and either mediating or yoga or something really relaxing. Bed at 10 pm Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday Rise Time 8 7:45 6:30 7:50 9 7:50 Bed Time 11 11:30 1 12 3 10:15 Monday: * I liked the effort the high priests put into their seeking for revelation, it says that they all prayed separately and vocally for the Lord to reveal his will and then assembled together.  The Lord sa...

 So, here I am.  I've been having a desire to post here.  I know this blog started as a healthy lifestyle reporting place but it seems to have morphed into a group journal or something.  Anyway, I like to read the posts.  I have a couple of goals to report right now.  One is that for 12 years I've been trying to find someone to help me with my hormone issues, etc. and as you all know I have finally found someone in Park City, Dr. Nielsen at the Nielsen Clinic.  He is amazing!!!!  But I'm very motivated to follow his advice because I feel like I finally know what's wrong with me health wise and he's teaching me how to fix it.  I have been on the diet he prescribed for almost 10 weeks now (I can only eat vegetables of all kinds, whole fruit, eggs, nuts, chicken, turkey and fish.  So no grains, no dairy, no sugar of any type, no red meats, no fruit juices, no nitrates).  Although weight loss was not the main goal in the beginning, it i...

 I did quite terrible last week on my goal.  Though I will confess I did really well on my smaller goals.  Including getting back to the temple.  I am going this week so I am very excited!  I recently finished a short course of energy healing on my body and I left with a new understanding, appreciation, respect, and love for my body.  I have known for a long time that my body needed less sugar and some sort of exercise but kept repeating the same old patterns because they are habits and those are hard to change.  This time through the course I again felt I needed to do those two things but I also realized that I will always be constantly sick until I do those two things.  I have decided that my body doesn't deserve the way I've been treating it, it is doing it's best and I've been sabotaging it at every turn, so now I wish to work in partnership with it.  This knowledge, along with all the energy work I did on this issue, has allowed me to le...

Good morning people.  I am feeling good about this coming week.  I didn't do well on my last week, I missed a few days and I don't remember the exact times but I didn't go to bed on time any of those days.  However I am feeling more of a desire to get good sleep and that is a necessary piece of the foundation of for making a change in anything.  Not on my list but I am also feeling this about eating sugar.  I am feeling less inclined to eat it and most of the day I usually ignore it.  It is going away without much persistent effort on my part.  Now I am still working on the bed time issue so here are the goals, same as last week.  Goals: Planning meeting with God as soon as I am dressed and awake Alarm at 9:00- wrap it up and go get ready for bed. Alarm at 9:30- time to put it down now and go do my report meeting, afterwards do my routine. Routine includes electronic free time, cleaning up last minute things, getting dressed, washing my face, and ...

 So this week is starting good and bad.  I'm progressing but it is slow.  I want to move on but recently learned that in order to move on from something I may need to learn all of the lessons it has to teach first.  Since I still don't go to bed on time I can't possibly have learned how to do it yet so that means I must keep trying.  I've gotten pretty fed up with my failures but I am actually making some progress so I also think focusing on that progress will help as well.  So here are the goals and I am also working on other things but haven't been tracking them because that can get a bit depressing when you fail.  However, it can also be helpful so I'm adding one of those here because it is more important than the others.  I am not praying as much so I have made two appointments, one in the morning and one in the evening, as if they are business meetings that I must attend every day.  The morning is my planning meeting and the evening is m...
