Head Contracting

I am a pretty avid runner–I started running because I wanted to get in shape and know I decided to take it to the next step. Not only do I run now but in addition to that I do something pretty awesome–I track how far I’ve ran and where exactly I am on a day to day basis by using a cool cheap little gps system.

Well the problem with running is that not only do you not have anywhere to go or anything to do but the problem is that you can get lost in the middle of nowhere because you just ran and didn’t bother to plan. That’s why I love my GPS watch.

Some of my regular readers might remember that I started a challenge not so long ago to try doing healthy living.

Well part of doing this was not going to be so easy and people doubted me so I guess its time for a status update. The first week was rough. I found myself cheating..a lot. Eating the kind of foods I shouldn’t have been eating and all that. I did start running but found it was so tiring and made me sweat so much I couldn’t take it. I quit for a day then started reading again and got into it. 

I think Home decor is very important because in a way it portrays who you are. It shows your dislikes and
likes. In fact it displays your character. It allows you to express your
creativity. For example, if you are ready to do something and are are ready to paint a room then you have endless
possibilities ahead of you. You get to the pick the colors. Whether you want to
have a bright and cheery atmosphere, or you want it soft and relaxing. How you
decorate your home can be beneficial or detrimental to it. There are many
different areas of decor that need to be addressed if you are renovating.

Next month I’ll be attending a very important event in my career, therefore I really need to find out the best way to lose 20 lbs in 3 weeks. Is it so important? Yes, it is. I want to look my best at that meeting, and I have to admit I’ve neglected myself a lot lately, eating very late dinners, not going to the gym, not doing any kind of exercise. I’m writing this here, because I need a strong motivation to change my habits. By telling you about my intentions, I somehow feel obliged to strive to fulfill them, and stop procrastination and day dreaming. Life is here and I want to be prepared for any opportunities that come my way. And that meeting is one of the greatest, so I need to catch it. Cross your fingers for me, please.

I am simply amazed at the technology that is coming out each day.  Since I began sewing and making embroidery designs a few years ago, the detail that can now be completed in a machine embroidery design is simply amazing.

I remember when I had my first software program for my first embroidery machine.  Wow, talk about a clunker compared to today!  The software was almost like playing space invaders compared to what I can do today.  I have just started also taking pictures and using Photoshop to modify them and import them into the software program. 

Its pretty cool when you can take a picture and trace it turning it into a great pattern.  I have already taken some of my favorite photos of my grandchildren and converted them already!

Anyways, there are some really great sites out there and lots of free machine embroidery designs also.  Finding th right one that you want and making sure it is virus free is a different story.  Finding the right software also requres having a good newer computer too!

Since I began learning more about sleep apnea and its treatments I think sometimes I am left with more new questions than answers.  For example I finally found a decent article that explains the differences of BiPAP vs. CPAP.  For those who are interested CPAP has one continuous airflow setting while BiPAP has two.  The latter is also used to treat more than just obstructive sleep apnea.  It is better for those with congestive heart failure and other respiratory disorders.  While it can be a pain I am glad my husband finally spoke to the doctor and got the treatment he desperately needed for this disorder.  I had no idea how serious it can be and neither did he.  He has convinced his father to speak to his doctor know as well.  It is heriditary and we are all convinced that he sufferes as well.  And the breathing machine is far quieter than his snoring used to be.
