It's been a couple of days since I've blogged on here. I've been kind of busy with work and stuff though. Last evening my heart rate was all over the place again. I had the O2 sat monitor on at work to see how things were going and my heart was fluctuating from the 60s up to about 137 with no change in my behavior. I was sitting still and my heart was racing. I...

So, the end of my three day weekend is just about here. Shortly I'll be going off to bed. I think I've finally fixed the sleep problems...I had to delete myself off of a social networking site LOL. Who knew those things could become so addictive O.o. Any-way, things have been going alright. Didn't get to do my walking though...not outdoors any-way. The weather has been rather wet and cold the last few days. I'm...

So, I decided to go for the walk I use to take again. 45mins on the country road. Winter is coming around here, so things aren't as pretty as they could be. There's no snow yet, but the trees all look dead, things are wet, the grass is less than green, and it's kind of dark out....looks like it might rain. The fresh air was nice though. I forgot how refreshing that could be. These...

So, yesterday I ate my supper at a half normal time :) 6:00pm is much better than 9:00pm. WIN! And it was a healthy, balanced meal. A soup with lots of veggies, a tuna sandwich, milk, and a bottle of water, and two small pieces of cheese (equivalent to 1 serving). Although I ate better, I went to sleep later....but I still had a good 8hr sleep. So I think that's pretty good. Any-way, yesterday...

Alright, so here's where I'm at. I have an egg boiling on the stove; I just ate two cold slices of Pizza (probably not a great choice, but I was hungry and we got some meat, cheese, veggies, grains etc on there lol); at present I'm eating an orange. Egg should be just about done. Hmm, what else can I eat? Probably have a slice of toast with that egg :/ Yup, 1 slice 100% whole...

Okay, so last eveing I had to work again. My plan was to attempt to eat supper at a normal time. FAIL! I ended up eating at 9:00pm and it wasn't the best supper in the world. I had an egg sandwich, 2 small pieces of cheese, a 500ml bottle of water (I didn't have time to finish), and a hand full of mixed nuts. Really not much for supper, but I needed to make...

When it comes to health, I believe it is vitally important that people work on bettering not just the body but also the mind and the spirit to achieve optimal health. My last blog was very much body focused. Well, right now I'm about to blog about something that has always provided me with great peace and joy....my faith and/or relationship with God. I was brought up in a Christian home and taught that Christianity...

Last night I got home from work at midnight. Now, normaly I'd stay up until about 2am, but not last night. Last night I decided to go to bed as soon as I got home. I tossed and turned for about 15mins or so and than I was out like a light. 9 hours of sleep... I woke up this morning around 9:15am and from there my journey begins. Breakfast :  bowl oatmeal (splash of milk), 2 toast,...

Ever since I was a little girl I had a fascination with people and with their health. I still remember the doctor kit my parents bought me at the age of 3 or so. I'd run around the house carrying out assessments on my parents, siblings, and oh yes....my teddy bears lol. So much fun from one toy. As I grew-up my passion for people and health really began to explode. I think the primary...
