In His Words....(ouch)

Went to see the Doc today...for my final hoop la after surgery. Gall bladder removal is LIFE CHANGING for me! I feel like a million bucks! I am pain free in my abdominal region...and no longer bloat like I am 9 months pregnant after a meal. ( I will spare you some of the other benefits but trust me if you are contemplating, or need this surgery RUN don't walk to your Dr. for a surgeon referral.)
So Dr. H saunters in all smiley...such a nice man, middle aged and rather handsome although I hadn't noticed before because I was in a total self pitying state of mind.
He checks me out...and declares me "good to go." He tells me that I better get into shape before my appetite comes back! What?? He made it out like I am going to get this ferocious appetite like I have never experienced in my life??? He then tells me I am so pretty....and if I do the "P90" then I will be "smoking!"
OK.....its so done..maybe not the P90 but definitely exercise...like a mad woman. I plan on returning some day to see Dr. H and let him see me "smoke" :) Who knew all I needed was a middle aged doc to inspire me to hit the pavement running...literally and figuratively. Sometimes you just need a lil shock a roo to the mindset to get you thinking properly. Too bad its a thousand degrees outside...I may hit the pavement this evening, but will no doubt dissolve in a pool of sweat.

Bad Mood? This may help

If you find yourself in a really crappy mood, you may want to try some of the things I have to FORCE myself to do to help it pass...really...I hate to admit it, but they actually work! I have found wallowing in my piss poor mood is just overrated at times...and it causes crinkles in my already crinkling face.
1. Indulge in something you like! I don't mean go crazy ...but if Reeses cups do the trick pick up ONE at the gas station...don't buy the jumbo bag...trust me you will HATE yourself later. Wine works for me :)
2. Put a big smile on your face and do or say something nice to others....it is a really EASY way to enhance your mood.
3. Walk your butt around the block...stop and enjoy the green way...go to the mall and join the old timers for a power walk while checking out the latest fashions as well. It will lift your butt and your mood. I PROMISE.
4. Sing! Put in that Beyonce CD or crank some Sexy Back on your IPOD....when the body starts grooving its hard to stay in that funk.
5. Call a friend. Not the one that is affectionately knows as "Debbie Downer" but the one who can always make you laugh!
6. Two words: Mr. Bubble. no need to elaborate here....if you have questions just message me I can divulge my full proof pampering bath time regimen that is sure to have you lifted to the sky!
7. Comedy Hour...watch a favorite funny movie. Skip the sappy scenes...and remember to LAUGH out LOUD!
8. Open the blinds...get outside. Natural light lifts the spirits...I promise this to be true.
9. Share a meal with someone, anyone...I don't mean the normal rush home after work and throw something together for your kids...I mean prepare a lunch..include a friend, put a pot of soup on, share with the neighbor....plan a lunch or dinner date with a friend or someone you would like to get to know better. I promise this will lift your spirits.
