Life Update

I realized that most of the posts I've made lately have all been about Pagan-y stuff or Lance. So here is how I'm doing.

I'm doing better than I was. I'm starting to get into a routine of cleaning my house and that makes me feel good about myself. The martial arts training is continuing at a steady rate and I've taken up belly dancing.

Overall, I'm coping. I know I am in the home stretch now and that makes things much easier to handle. I haven't been hanging out with people much. I am getting together with the 'Cat family once a week or so and that has been nice. I have been getting to talk to Lance about every day. The addition of Skype has really helped out in the missing him department.

Sly and I are getting along better now. She's quite the character and keeps me very entertained. This is a good thing.

My weight is staying steady. That in itself is almost a miracle. I almost always gain wait once the weather starts to turn cold. I'm actually considering joining Weight Watchers to see if it will help me jumpstart my weight loss again. I'm working out at least four days a week, so really it's the diet I need to look at now. I'm snacking a lot more than I was before and it isn't always healthy.

I am looking forward to Sly going to see her dad. It gives me the chance to really get down to business on cleaning up my room. It's hard to do that when long periods in my room leads to her doing things like rubbing lotion all over every hard surface she can reach in her room.

Netflix is becoming a saving grace for me. It makes it much easier to not have cable. I don't mind not having channels and channels of pointless drivel because I can go online and pick out something I *do* want to watch and if I don't like it, I can change it. So nice.

Yay, yay, and yay! I am glad you are doing a bit better. Must be time, because I am, too. :)

I've been toying with the Netflix v. cable thing myself. The problem is cable is free to me as part of my employee perks for having cable, internet and phone from the same company. Yeah, I still have a house phone. :P

Keep us updated on things! *hugs*

I chose to get internet and Netflix. Together they run me about $70 a month. I don't have or need a house phone though. My cell is on an unlimited plan.

My hubby has lost over 60lbs in one year on weight watchers. I've been using an online calorie counting thingy http://caloriecount.about.com/ and before that I was doing the math all by hand. It's nifty and free. when it comes down to it, I think it's just what you feel comfortable doing and what you can stick with - I need to take a break sometimes so WW wouldn't work for me - I'd end up wasting money.

Glad to hear you're doing "better" although I only just started following your blog, so I'm not sure what it's "better" than. *hugs* I'm sure you can do whatever you put your mind to. :-)

I checked out that calorie thing and it is awesome!
