Tammy's Thoughts on Things

Getting Healthy

8:49 AM, Wednesday, October 8, 2008 .. 1 comments .. Link

Good Morning,

Today I was reading a blog about a woman that wants to get healthy. That so tugged at my heart today, I have been trying to get healthy and lose the weight for a year now. I have lost 32 lbs in a year, which is not good since I got the gastric sleeve. Before you say anything, I just started walking almost 2 months ago now. I was in surgery on 22 Oct 07 for 10 hours! I went and got 2 surgeries at the same time. I didn't get my nerve damage from the sleeve surgery.

I think I will also start making an entry once a week also. I will not post my weight right now, I am ashamed of myself for my weight. I was doing the "Biggest Loser" on post and my physical trainer wrote a letter to us on Monday and in it there was something that really stuck out to me. He said that we need to stop making excuses on why we are overweight and unhealthy. He also said that woman are the worst ones to do this, the first excuse is pregnancy, then friends, and then co-workers. So I need to stop making excuses I was maybe 5 lbs overweight before I got pregnant with my daughter then I really gained some weight about 20-30 lbs. Then I never took it off, then I got pregnant with my son and well the rest is history. To the point I am now thinking about doing the gastricbypass surgery. I am afraid to go in for another surgery but at the same time I want to lose this disgusting weight.

So, I guess I will make another blog just for my weight loss journey. I will put my goals, the things I eat, what I have done for excerise. Please join me at: Tammy's Weight Loss Journey

My Second Review

1:56 PM, Tuesday, October 7, 2008 .. 0 comments .. Link

Hello,

I am in the process of reviewing a neat little site called: Help Me 2 Teach I am enjoying the site so far. I have not been able to review it all at once but so far I like it. It is a site that helps you search different websites you want on the things you are learning or even on what your not learning. Please watch for my future full review on this website!

God Bless!

Today for home schooling the kids and I are working on History and Science we use Heart of Wisdom product. I am right now working on History and we are learning about Adam and Eve and the Fall this week.

There was one activity that the lesson had us do was to come up with 10 things you like about yourself. I did not realize that would be so difficult for them but it was harder than I thought.

I will be writing in a little bit later. Right now I must try and figure out how to add things to this blog besides entries.

My First Review

3:08 PM, Saturday, October 4, 2008 .. 0 comments .. Link

My first review and I'm so excited to tell you about it! The best part about it is that I have been using since I started home schooling my kiddos, 3 years ago. That is the Old Schoolhouse Magazine, I don't know what I would have done without it. I tell you they have so many great articles and the cutest pictures of old schoolhouses all over the nation. I truly feel this is a must have for all home schooler's out there!

So here is the even better part their own Special Fall Promotion!

I wanted to tell you all about The Old Schoolhouse Magazine's Fall
Special. You can get two years of the magazine, 6 fabulous physical
gifts (no downloads!) worth over $120, plus the current issue of The
Old Schoolhouse Magazine that is full of ideas for the new school
year, so you start receiving your magazine in a flash!

It really is one of their best deals ever and you don't want to miss
out. In fact, they've got a really cute Homeschooling with Heart tote
bag (valued at $13.95) for the first 1000 to subscribe. About half of
them are gone, but you should still be able to get one if you hurry!
(They will remove the info from the subscription page when the bags
are all gone.) The total value is over $212, but you receive it all
for only $39 - 50% off of cover price! Plus subscribers get their
online monthly Teacher's Toolbox which focuses on a different topic
each month, giving you words of encouragement, hands-on teaching
ideas, book recommendations, field trip ideas, and a bonus download
item.

I must say I am sorry for not writing sooner. I have been at doctor appts the last couple of days. I got new medicine's for me, the doctor has told me that I have neuorpathy (not sure that is the correct spelling) it is a very painful diese that eats away at nerves which I got because of the trama I got from surgery last year So right now I'm in the midst of getting off my old meds and starting my new meds and it takes approximately 3-5 days for the new ones to take effect.

I do have a goal to post once a day.

Hello,

I am SO excited about my new blog! I hope that you and I will get to know each other very well!

I will let you in and let you know what you will find out while reading this blog. My ideas for this blog will be me talking about home schooling my children, what I learn from my Bible reading, a saying for the day, and I will also put up some recipe's my family and I are using. I will also be writing a review for products I am allowed to test for The Old Schoolhouse. I am so excited about that one, I already have 1 product review under way! I cannot wait to write about it and hear from you on what YOU think of the product I review!

I would LOVE for this blog to be interactive. In other words leave comments, questions, or which ever you want!

I will see you tomorrow!
