My sleep cycle must have had an accident!! I either can't get to sleep or I am waking up in the middle of the night WIDE AWAKE. UGH. I considered not exercising this morning but I think I will ... at least for 30 minutes anyway ... maybe it will help me make it through the day!!

Back to work this morning ... although my day will be cut short as hubby has requested my company to a doctor's appointment he has this afternoon. A woman must do what a woman must do.

Watched (500) Days of Summer last night (Netflix) ... wouldn't make my top ten list but it was entertaining and it also wouldn't be found anywhere close to my top ten of all time WORST movies!! LOL!!! I have seen some doosies over the years!!

So ... here's a 'bookmark' for what I am grateful for today ... will ponder it as I workout on the elliptical ...

1. Simple Math & being in my 'range'
2. Fat Free Vanilla Caramel Creamer in my coffee this morning
3. 34 days to Mexico
4. a slowing 'mending' husband
5. perusing an interesting book ... 'The Anti-Cancer Diet' ... written by a doctor who had brain cancer. He cites a ton of research about foods that 'fight' cancer, environmental impact, and more. Hubby has been reading and is acknowledging that he needs to change how and what he eats to fight his cancer.

And I'll be back to finish this up later .... (edit, edit, edit!!)

Just 33 minutes on the elliptical today ... whatever I did to my ribs when I fell is bothering me today. It is raining outside so at least I won't be pining away for the sunshine as I work on this marvelous Monday!! One day begun ... four more to go ... and then another WEEKEND!!! Take care my friends ...

You ponder that and I'll check in again later. Running late this morning myself. Did exercise though so I am semi happy. Have a great day Moose. I watched Law Abiding Citizen last night. Kind of reminded me of one of those old Mel Gibson movies can't remember the name.

Moose I am at work now and not feeling very motivated. I have a huge bar like desk (they call it the swim up bar) and it is situated in front of a huge window and the sun is really bright this morning that I have my sun glasses on. I would love to be out there. I guess we have to get ourselves motivated. I was just checking back for your 5. Guess I came back to early.

Cathy some days are like that!!! I'm sort of glad it is raining ... at least I won't be pining away for being outside today!! I exercised, showered, dressed, all that good stuff ... I added FIVE just now. Not terrible 'deep' today ... but I know you understand ... being Monday. Let's get through this day and see what surprises it may bring us!!

Melatonin is my friend for getting my sleep cycle back in tune...I hope you are fully healed very soon. 
08 Mar 10 by member: dawn0001
Dawn ... I have melatonin at home ... perhaps I shall try that this evening!! Thanks for reminding me!!

LOL Glen. "The Anti-Cancer Diet sounds interesting, unfortunately it is not available in any of my local libraries, yet. "A (good) woman must do what a woman must do."

34 days before your trip to Mexico? ok, now I'm jealous lol! I'm worried about your ribs... I really hope you'll feel better soon. Are you taking a calcium-magnesium supplement? not only good for your bones, it might help you to sleep better. Just an idea... Take care! 
08 Mar 10 by member: jessyline
jessy ... good idea regarding the calcium-magnesium supplement ... and no I am not taking one. My upper ribs are a bit sensitive/painful at times but overall I have really good bone density ... or maybe I'm made of rubber. A few years ago I fell off a ladder onto a gravel floor in our garage (about 8 ft.) and didn't break anything! Just bruised myself up quite well. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know ... I'm just one disaster after another!! I'll try the melatonin tonight but I think I have some cal/mag somewhere around the house too!! Info ... the book is rather recently released so hopefully it will be available in the library soon ... I think you might find it interesting.

LOL! I'm sure you have a really good bone density, falling that many times and no broken bones... I'm just teasing you ;-)About the book, Did you mention the name of the author? I've read one, from a canadian doctor (Beliveau) and there is also David Servant-Shreber who wrote a famous (well maybe not in USA) book about healing. Did you start making changes in you nutrition and following the book? 
08 Mar 10 by member: jessyline
Jessy I will check the author ... must dash upstairs to grab the book (tis at our bedside) ... David Servan-Schreiber, MD, PhD is the author. I have only perused sections of the book, I have not yet read the entire book. Changes will be difficult for my hubby ... I've made 'some' changes over this past year but the love of my life is a 'junk food junkie' at heart!! The plan is to slowly make changes after we get back from our trip to Mexico in April. Since I do most of the food shopping, gradually I will change what is available at home. My husband has read more of the book and obviously, with his cancer, is pretty motivated. It will be a process ... like everything else ... with times of consuming kilograms of cheesecake and brownies!!! LOL!! 
08 Mar 10 by member: madaboutmoose
LOL!!! Yes ... I am definitely DENSE in more ways than one!! 
08 Mar 10 by member: madaboutmoose
LOL! You have no idea how much I ate last week! but the cheese cake was worth every bite! I'm sure you husband is in the right state of mind to make changes. Of course, you can't change everything in one day. The only thing I would suggest is don't wait after your vacation. Try to take a step now, nothing too hard. Especially after the radiations, everything he can do to help his body recovering is good. I understand the changes will come from you, if you are in charge of grocery shopping and meal cooking. So I understand you might not have time right now to focus on the book...
