The weight is melting off
Comments (2)You ever see those advertisements on the net about the acai berry and how people lose a lot of weight really fast? Well, I'm not taking that. But I am losing weight really fast. hehe
I've been trying to go raw vegan for a while now. But something always stops me. Mostly that I just didn't have a lot of variety and soon needed more. So I would break down and have cooked foods, most of them unhealthy. Because of this I wasn't losing weight. In 10 months I had only lost 15-20 lbs and my goal was to lose 60 lbs. So I got a third of the way...

Potty Training not going so well
Comments (1)We're having such a hard time. I thought this week off from school would be the perfect time to potty train. Boy was I wrong! I don't know if it's that she's just not ready or that she's too used to the diaper. I'm having so much trouble.
I just don't know what to do. Orion was so easy to train. Kieriana is proving to be a monster when it comes to training.
ACK!

Actively Potty Training
Comments (1)I'm going to actively potty train Kieriana. The kids have a week off from school so I figure it's the best time to do it. She's wearing underwear this week. Hopefully she uses the potty more.
I did this a few weeks ago one weekend. By the end of the weekend she was using the potty. However she had to go back to a diaper durring the week for school and stopped using the toilet. So hopefully this week will get her so used to the potty that she uses it without any trouble.
I hope.

Helping the community
Comments (1)Most pagans I know do what they can for the community and the world. A circle I do ritual with always collects food to donate to a local food drive. I don't have much but I do what I can. We've needed the help of such drives in the past and I always vowed that when I was in a better place I would help others.
Well now I'm in a better place. Money is still pretty tight but we're doing much better. I want to do more than give a can or two of veggies or soup here or there.
Today there was a discussion on one of the groups I'm on about ways to promote awareness...

Losing weight and sick
Be the first to commentI've been having digestive issues lately. So sever is the pain after I eat that the doctors are running every test imaginable. There are 3 more tests to be done. If they still can't find anything then they're going to just call it IBS.
If that's the case then I'll try to treat it naturally. Though one fact remains. I'm afraid to eat. I'm eating small bits of food at a time as that seems to be OK with my belly. I'm also going raw again. Raw fruits and veggies don't hurt.
I've lost 12 lbs in the last 2-3 weeks. More so recently...like...

Orion's back in school
Comments (1)I feel so bad that I had to send him back to school. I really don't like the school he's in but I don't have much of a choice. I am in so much pain from my digestive issues when I eat and nausea when I don't eat. I have doctor's appointments up the wazzoo. So most of his "school time" was taken up with baby sitters. I was having trouble actually teaching him. I know I could unschool him but with his personality and whatnot...it just doesn't feel right.
I hate that i had to put him back in school.

First Day of Homeschooling
Be the first to commentAll in all we had a good day. This morning I started with doing a test
for phono-graphix (like phonics but different) to see where Orion is.
He did pretty good except for the last part which drastically lowered
his score. At least I know what areas he needs the most help with.Then
we did math...or tried to. Orion's at the point where he's ready to add
and subtract two digets. I was trying to teach it to him but he was
very resistant. He just didn't want to do it. He kept on saying that it
wasn't the way his teacher taught him. *sigh*So we put the math
away and did language arts. I...

How I did today
Be the first to commentYesterday I wrote a post with a list of goals I wish to do for my spiritual, mental, and physical well being.
Today...I caught myself several times thinking negative thoughts. I am amazed at how easily such thoughts enter my head. When did I become such a negative person? I could feel these thoughts sapping my energy and making me feel like crap. I worked on being more positive and open minded. I didn't get into a fight with my sister when normally I would've said something snarky at the least.
I worked out. Couldn't do it when the kids...

I'm being tested so early in the morning!
Comments (1)This morning the children woke upat a quarter to 5 according to my sister. I woke up to my sister yelling at them at 5:30. She lives in the basemen and her bedroom is under our livingroom. Every morning she yells at them for making noise though usually they wake up just before 7. She doesn't understand that they're kids and they're not waking her up on purpose. She says they're rude for beng so inconsiderate. I say they're kids.
I'm trying to be positive and not negative. But my mind is full of so many negative things to say to her. I'm...
