Linda--does this site bump you off and freeze on you? I just wrote you a comment that was negative 470 characters. It said maxium 2000. So, I deleted some, and then it still wouldn't work!!!!
I'll give you a run down of what he said, but you need to know the activities and appearences surrounding it, but here are the things that he said to me while dancing:
Don't move your feet
Dance for yourself, not for me.
Close your eyes.
Smile.
Look at me.
I know that I am ugly, but look at me. Look into my eyes.
Look at me.
Look at your hands and put them in the air, follow them.
Dance from the inside.
You've got it--use it.
Don't dance for me, dance for yourself.
Dance from the inside.
Did you ever send a gift? What do the credits mean? Are they going to charge me for sending you that gift? LOL btw, I sent you all about that guy, several paragraphs, but the computer didn't accept it, so I'll send you several private messages in fear that my note to you will be gobbled up! Going to have mani/pedi now; then to see therapist, and lastly oil painting class. All of these are an hour away from eachother. ttys
Linda--so you gained about half back. You are still 30 pounds less than you were a couple years ago, and like I said in my blog, in no way do I mean to minimize your feelings. I would be upset and frustrated too. I hear you about not wanting to count points or calories. It stinks. I feel that you will find something that works for you because you sound like you really want to. It is certainly difficult to find something that works. I remember when I was gaining, and I was up, I was so scared and frustrated b/c KT said that we would not gain the weight back unless we started eating the way that we always ate, which I was not doing, but I feel fortunate to have found something that works for me. And, yes, I count points every day. I don't like it, but I know that this is what I must do to maintain. It works for me. Yukky but works. An example is today, I starved all day, so I could go to dinner and have a couple of drinks. But, I really enjoyed dinner. I went dancing too, my girlfriend didn't want to go. She went home after dinner, and I went to a club alone! LOL That was the first time that I have done that. I met a really interesting and profound guy. I couldn't believe what he was saying to me. I'll tell you, but now I'm going to bed. :) It's 2:49am. LOL Nite Nite.
It worked wonderfully for me but I didn't follow or do anything I was supposed to do. After my first round I did and it worked beautifully. So I think I will try it again but is so restrictive have to do it after Christmas
Hello, Sweetheart! It is so nice to hear from you. I left you a message on my blog too! I would love to hear all about you and what you have been up to if you are willing to share. I'm off right now for a hair cut, so I'll talk with you later! :)
Oh, Linda--I understand, and I'm sorry. I was only thinking about myself. I'm really sorry. You are grieving as well. Peace to you, Linda. And, thank you for everything. Knowing that you responded to me with kindness is really healing. Thank you.
Oh, Linda--thank you so much for getting back to me and saying such nice things. I have read and reread your note to me many times before writing this. I actually tried to take a picture of what you wrote so I could have it and read it, but it didn't work. I have been crying on and off very hard. Yesterday, I washed the blankets that were in her little beds and crates. She had one crate with about 3 twin blankets, one bed with two queen blankets, the so soft ones :); then she had three carriers one was lepord print, lol, never used it, a pet stroller with the one wheel in front for four-wheeling, lol, and a front-pack like a back-pack. My husband used to love to carry her in the front-pack. :) I packed all of these things for donation; except the stroller. I'm not ready to give that up yet. I packaged her little hair brush, small balls, unused diapers, a senior pet book, harness, and leash. This things along with crates and carriers I will dontate.
I created a keepsake box for her with her fall/winter sweater. It was so pretty on her. It was cream with a fake mink collar. :) She looked so pretty in it. Oh, Linda. I'm crying just thinking about this. Also in the keepsake box, is her little, pink collar with her tag in the shape of a hear that she wore. And, her favorite toy, a tiny Kong Ball. We used to sing, "Zippity Do Da" to her and she would run and find that little toy for us to play with her. So, I've been doing these things. I still have to go through her medication. So many things. She was such a big part of our lives. I just feel so empty, Linda. I do have hope though, that I will feel better. I read your comments about crying for one week, hard, and then starting to feel better, but still crying sometimes. Thank you, Linda. I cannot even tell you how much it means to me that you are here. Bless you.
Hello, Linda--how are you doing? Remember our little dog, Chiffon? She is on my profile page, I think. Anyway, yesterday, she left her body. Yesterday, her breathing was labored, her chest and abdomin where rising and falling with greatness, she couldn't walk but a few steps before lying down, and her heart sounded so congested, gurggly. Linda, I did not want to euthanize her. I went to yoga; then turned around to go home. I'm glad that I came home b/c when I got there, she deteriorated fast. I had made a 7:45 pm appointment from the yoga parking lot for her just in case, but when I got home she deteriorated before my eyes. It happened so quickly. I picked her up her small pink blanket and was carrying her to the car when her body went limp and her head fell to the side. John got Callie into the car and we left for the vet. She was out of it when we got there. Callie kept putting her paws on the table to see what was going on. The vet coulndn't find a vein. It seem like it was taking forever to help her. The medicine squirted in my face and in my mouth. No one flinched including me. It was about our little dog. The vet told Chiffon to go the the light. John broke down and was crying. I was crying the whole time. Linda, I want her back. The house is empty and so am I.
Hi, Linda!! How are you doing on the no grain diet? Is that Dr. Mercolo's diet? Anyway, I do remember that P2 was difficult for you. Are you feeling less hungry now that you have omitted flour and sugar? I would think that you would be feeling much better. I haven't eaten sugar since I doing hcg. :) I do eat raw honey the week before my period, though, and occassionally, like twice a week, I will have a truffle from Whole Foods or for dessert at a restaurant. I will eat that stuff only once or twice a week; that includes convential food, and that is only for dinner, and the whole meal is not conventional as I only go to restaurants that serve organic chicken and grass-feed or natural beef. It's been my experience that that diet that you are on will curb craving and is so much healthier for you than eating flour, grains, and sugar. I do eat flourless English Muffins by Food for Life. You can find them in the freezer section of Whole Foods. They are really good. You can also fine flourless and sugarless bread and tortillas in the freezer section by the same company.
Oh, thank you for the compliment about the color pink looking nice on me. I appreciate it. You like the color pink too as I can see you are wearing it in your profile pic. Did you go to Florida yet?
Linda, I found that I was disappointed with that site that Wendi created. I was monitor and everyday I would get on and there would be no activity or people asking the same question over and over again. I would write lengthy explainations for some persons multiple times and expressing myself different ways. I found it to be draining. Does that make sense? I thank you for the compliment though, and I would love to see everyone come back. It sure would be nice.
HI Linda,
Sorry about your kitty.........and don't blame your self...........they become so much a part of our family............it is hard to let them go...........but you did the right thing........
Hugs,
Donna you look great too.......nice pictures..........
Hi, Linda--how are you doing? I use EFT. I see a energetic therapist twice a month and we use the technique. It works and it delightful to use! Tell me if you are willing about the grain-free Mercola diet. I think that Joanne uses that. Oh, btw, I took a pic of me in a pencil skirt! LOL I prefer jeans. They are much more comfortable. I didn't know how to get into the car the other night, lol, and my husband said, keep your legs together and swing them in! lol I was just about to do that and then he said it. I couldn't believe that he knew!
Hi, Linda--you did the best thing for Will Lee. It sounds like he was really suffering that last day. I'm not really sure what to say hear b/c we have never lost an animal, yet and I am learning from you. We, too, think that we would let Chiffon die naturally, but if she was suffering like that, I probably wouldn't be able to stand it, and bring her immediatly to the vet. Who know, maybe, Will Lee would have died after an hour of struggling like that, maybe, he would have continued to suffer like that or worse for another day. Linda, you helped Will Lee transfer over to the other side with love and concern for him. Pray to God that he take away any doubt that you have surrounding the death of your beloved cat and your family and anything surrounding his death and replace it with loving thoughts. I will send Reiki to you, and I say this prayer for you: Linda, may you be happy; LInda, may you be well; Linda may you have ease of well-being. Namaste. Om Shanti, Shanti. Peace. Peace. Peace.
Oh, Linda--I am so sorry to hear that. That is a long time to have a pet and then to see him suffer in the end had to be just heart wrenching. He must have been very happy with you to live that long. You sound like you gave him a wonderful, loving home. Any pet would be fortunate to have you for a mom. I'm really sorry for your loss, the loss of your furry friend who was always there for you. Have you seen the poem "Rainbow Bridge?" You can google it. Peace, Linda. Your cat is with you always. Call on him when you need him and he will be there for you. Love, Lynne.
Hello, Linda!!! I'm sorry that I haven't gotton back to you sooner, but I've been crazy busy! LOL I'm glad to talk with you, finally. Anyway, how about Carlos two-timing on you with me!? hehehe Funny. I do like him. He is an interesting guy. And, so is that mango pie and energy bars you are making and made.
The mango pie sounds delicious. I understand, though, about the almond crust. I prefer one texture in my mouth at a time! LOL Maybe that is what is bothering you too, LInda? How r u making the raw energy bar? Are you making it with dates and dried plums to hold it together?
You have a 20-year-old cat? Oh, my. I'm glad that I'm not the only one who is experiencing pooping, peeing, house destroying, worrying, agravation, money deprivation, on and on the list goes, and of course too no vacations. Who will watch them? Two sick dogs who have seizures and more? LOL Anyway, there must be a reason that you and I have sick animals. There has got to be a reason for this. What the heck are we supposed to learn from it??? LOL
So, did you get to that size 12 yet? Last time you wrote to me, you were down 5# in 7 days! That is great! And, it sounds like you r happy and like the food that you r eating. And, ur RA is better. That is fantastic, Linda. I wish I could say the same about me being happy about the food that I eat. I'm angery about having to count, weigh, and measure every morsel of food that I put into my mouth. I don't even cook. Why bother? I can only eat about 1C of food anyway!!!! LOL I'm not good at math. I've never used a recipe all of these years. I just cook. I just throw things in and make up my own recipe. I've never measure for a recipe; except to bake. And, I didn't bake b/c it was too stressfull for me, having to measure everything that went into a recipe. So, I don't like having to do this now. I just want to freakin eat, Linda. I just want to eat. I have a very bad relationship with food now: I'm angry at it. When I look at it, I get pissed off. I really do.
Yep r Whole Foods is like a fashion runway! LOL It's probably the town that it's located in b/c I've heard negative things about the other one one town over. LOL Sundays are the worst. LOL And, that is the day that I shop. I've been hit on there several times in the produce dept. LOL I like it. LOL It makes me feel good for a being 44 years old. LOL My husband likes to come with me. He'll be home from work anyminute, so I've got to go and put on my clothes and heels to go grocery shopping! LOL I've already done my hair and make up. LOL The employees are hippie-like there, but they are so well-informed, almost don't need a naturopath!
Have a great day, Linda! It was sure nice to talk with you. Oh, I almost forgot: Carlos and his group. He did invite me, but for some reason, I couldn't follow the link to sign up, so I figured out how to join another way.
Hi Linda, No, not afraid of needles............thanks so much for the information........what makes it hard for me to loose weight is my "insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome" , they have a couple names for it...also being an old lady ......excerise would help me a lot........ I will get busy looking up KTs information again.......have you seen the HealthMaster..........is like 8 machines in one, would be so good to get fruits and veggies in your family!! take a look at it.
