Once again, I’ve been thinking about the goals I set for myself at the beginning of the year. I haven’t accomplished or even started one of the most important ones which was start to live a healthy and active lifestyle.

I don’t know why I haven’t got on the move on with this…really I don’t know. Maybe it’s because I have a job now that requires so many hours and there’s not enough time in a day to do everything. Maybe…or just that it has become one of the least of my worries.

Hopefully I can change this soon enough. I’m thinking about getting more exercise equipment at home to add with the gazelle I have. I want a elliptical or some sort of exercise bike that I can use for a good solid hour everyday. I even saw this cool thing called an ab roller at Wal-Mart for about $100 that seems worthwhile.

I’ll probably by some more equipment soon enough. Hum….tomorrow?? Maybe. LOL!

I am not even joking. I’ve got a running nose that sometimes feels stuck even though I blow it all the time. I’ve also got a bad cough, sore throat, watery eyes, sneeze marathons, and have taken more Advil for headaches in the past few days than I have in all my life!!! And no, I’m NOT exaggerating!!

I even called in sick on Wednesday from my job because I felt like complete crap in the morning. That day I slept well into the afternoon. Even now, a few days later, I still have the stupid cold but have been going to work regardless. After all, I can’t be missing a shit load of days from my new job. No thanks…I don’t want to put that into jeopardy.

I work again tomorrow but hopefully I’ll get a chance to swing by Wal-Mart in the morning so I can check out the cold medications they have. I usually get Sudafed which has ALWAYS worked in getting my colds to go away. Julie also suggested Nyquil which I can honestly say, I’ve never tried.

I’m not a huge pill popper or medication taker. In fact, I prefer to have my body heal itself from any sickness the natural way. So when I said I’ve taken more Advil in the past few days…it really was the honest truth. I’ve probably going taken Advil once or twice in all my 22 years of living. I know…unbelievable. LOL!! Sudafed I have taken once or twice every year when I get really bad colds such as this. That’s the one thing I know that will always work to get rid of it that fast way. Plus, I’ve never had any side affects from it either. So that’s a plus!! LOL!

Anyways, I’m heading to bed so I can finish reading this amazing book called Yakuza Moon by Shoko Tendo which I think is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! I can’t put this book down at all because it’s really interesting. Then again, I absolutely love the Japanese culture, so I’d read anything related to it. I’ve read some great books in my lifetime, and this is definitely one of them. I’ll probably have a review of it once I’m done on my other site Fading Away In Life.

Toodles for now and btw, Happy Valentine’s Day even though I’m a day late.

Too bad there’s no quick way to fix the obesity problem in North America. There’s no magic diet pills that will make you lose your appetite. Well not yet anyways.

I was reading about something on The Daily Mail about some kind of drug that allowed patients to eat all the junk foods without gaining weight or something along those lines. Some people might look at that as a good thing, but really…it’s NOT!!

Just think of all the junk you’ll be putting in your bodies. Not to mention you don’t want to consume so much satiated fats or high glucose amounts. That will only lead to more problems.

I don’t think this so called drug is going to do any good even though some people think it might. It’s not what we need in this world.

What we need is more cheaper gym memberships!! Geeze…those prices just keep raising to ridiculous amounts. You might as well buy the equipment yourself and setup your own home gym. It would be cheaper in the long run!! Plus you can exercise naked which is something you can’t really do at a normal gym.

I always get emails or comments about how can I manage so many blogs, maintain a real job, have family time, and have time for myself. The answer is rather simple. Get organized!

1. Get an organizer/agenda: This will probably be your best friend. You can keep track of days you work, family events, appointments, and keep a blogging schedule so you can blog on certain days. That’s what I do. I usually keep this info in my phone calendar because it’s much easier for me to see when I’m on the go, but even a pocket calendar can do the job.
2. Remove the clutter: In part with being organized, you must maintain a clean environment around you. How else are you suppose to find notes that you made if your desk is one big pile of crap? See my point.
3. Use a notepad: Get a nice notepad where you can jot down ideas, websites, things to do, etc. You can even rip out pages and stick it on your screen for things you need to remember.
4. Plan your day effectively: Try to do the hard things first so they can get out of the way as soon as possible. Also, look to see what time you can unwind. Everyone needs to rest. Power nap throughout the day if you have to. It’s always great!!
5. Don’t forget to eat: Keep some healthy snacks with you at all times. How else are you suppose to keep your energy flowing throughout the day.
6. Don’t stress: Yup…don’t stress over the small things. It’s not worth your time, energy, or getting your emotions worked up. Go with the flow.
7. Have fun: You have to like what your doing and have fun. If you’re just too serious, you are never going to go places. Take a deep breath and relax. Enjoy your day!

Does anyone have expertise in dog health? I’m very concerned about my dog. Something weird has happened in her behaviour in the past 24 hours. It was ever since my mom put her out to do her business early this morning (ie: around 2am).

When she came back downstairs she kept going back and forth from her bed to the computer room, then she sighed and was just going crazy like she didn’t know where to go. She wouldn’t stay still in my room either. Finally she did and I was able to get a few hours of sleep.

Then this morning, I noticed she won’t sit down. I thought something was wrong as in her nails were too long or something, so I got my mom to cut some. But still, the entire day she won’t sit on her butt. She’ll lie down but not sit even if we are offering her food. It seems she tries and then gets up fast.

My sister was looking at her while my dog was standing on the kitchen chair (normally she would sit). She noticed that her…I think it’s called vulva…anyways, her “cooch” and noticed it didn’t look normal. It’s pinkish and has like brown spots that are nearly black. I know her “cooch” had different colours because of her skin, but it really does look weird. I would take a picture, but she won’t stay still to let me.

I still can’t find anything on web that could be the problem so I guess I’ll just have to see if the vet is opened tomorrow. I hope it’s nothing serious.

Have you ever just stood at the corner of a busy intersection and watched everyone around? I have and the results are all too common.

What I see all the time is that everyone is so concerned about where they have to be and what they have to do. They seem frizzled and often very angry when they hit a red light. It’s not the end of the world if you just have to wait a few minutes for the light to turn green…

Most of the people I have encountered seem very angry over something no matter what time of the day. Haven’t these people learned the secret of true happiness? I guess not which is why they need to check out this new book called “Happy For No Reason” by Marci Shimoff.

Marci Shimoff is a featured teacher from the huge bookseller “The Secret”. She talks about something called The Sedona Method which is a great technique that allows you to let go of negative thoughts or feelings. This is exactly what the people I have encountered need.

What is The Sedona Method?

According to this article found on Wikipedia:

The Sedona Method is a self-help technique developed by the late engineer/physicist/businessman Lester Levenson after a serious heart attack nearly ended his life. Lester regained his health and attributed his renewed positive outlook to a process of self-inquiry of one’s beliefs and related emotions.

The process is designed to examine any emotion that one is experiencing and then “let it go” or release it in the moment. The basic premise is that all emotions naturally come and go out of experience unless one resists them. The idea is supported in the writings of Carl Jung who noted, “What we resist persists.”

Do you understand it yet? If not read Marci Shimoff’s new book “Happy For No Reason“. I can honestly say that’s this book was already on my list to read for next month. Any method that promotes techniques in which you can learn to master happiness and seek the positives in life, then I’d definitely pick it up. There’s too many pissed off people in this world. Lighten up folks and find your true happiness!
