Taking care of my health

So a couple of months ago I was diagnosed with Type II diabetes.  The worst part is my body seems to be producing the glucose that I am not able to deal with.  I am now on an extremely low-carb diet - under 50 grams of carbs a day (at least most days).  I also just a couple weeks ago bought a fit-bit to try to push myself to increase my exercise.  I have had to struggle to learn how to not emotionally eat.  I did not realize how much food was a comfort.  In the middle of the night I often have panic attacks and before I would get up and eat something - now I struggle to find healthier options.

I am starting to learn how to cook more interesting food low carb so that is good.  Trying new things and organizing my life.  I also like Just Dance 2 on the wii as the weather is so hot here that is really my only easy way to exercise inside.

  This year I am starting to have to deal with some chaos.  I came back from the Priestess Retreat and found my husband is very sick and they don't know exactly what it is.  So here is where I am with my seeds of intent...   1.  Continue to work on my health - kind of have slipped but I am working on my diabetes. 2.  Start balancing my case load so it is not overwhelming - I have figured it out to be much better for me and allow me to work more while stressing less. 3.  Continue to follow the path the Goddess has put in front of me especially when it comes to being a therapist - with work I am doing a good job on this - I am taking on what is put in my path 4.  Continue to process letting go of my daughter - still trying to let go - making lots of progress. 5.  Be good to myself - trying - I am struggling a bit with depression and being overwhelmed. 6.  Focus on organizing my life so it allows me to do what I need to do to be good to myself. - this is my biggest struggl

Waiting....

I feel like I am just stuck waiting ... waiting to figure out the next part of our lives.  We just have to keep waiting for answers, waiting for people to get in the office, waiting for this or that.  It is scary and hard since we cannot even figure out what our lives will be in a month and we don't know the best answers or what should we do.  Do we pack up and move far away or do we stay and gamble on more than a part time job.  Do we hang on here and plan or will we end up being broke and homeless.

Ostara \ Beginning of Spring

Today, March 19th, is the first day of SPRING!!!! This is what is happening to my seeds of intent: 1.  Continue to work on my health - now looking for a personal trainer 2.  Start balancing my case load so it is not overwhelming - raised my fees and taking more on my gender specialty side. 3.  Continue to follow the path the Goddess has put in front of me especially when it comes to being a therapist - just letting options open in front of me, 4.  Continue to process letting go of my daughter - did a very intense therapy that has helped. 5.  Be good to myself allowing myself to focus on emotional and then switching to physical not trying both at the same time. 6.  Focus on organizing my life so it allows me to do what I need to do to be good to myself - constantly working on new ways of being organized. I am motivated to keep actively working and creating the picture of my future - I have good days and bad days but the good is outweighing the bad. Today I had a wonderf
