What's Your Song? Thursday Link Up!

I walked into my office this morning, realized it was Thursday, and did a little dance :) I love the What's Your Song Thursday link up. Would it be weird to say that it gets me through the week? Probably, but I'll do it anyway!

This week I have been contemplating a serious change in my life. It would involve quitting my job, taking a few months to work on myself and my health, then working on finding something that will make me feel more fulfilled. This seems like a drastic change, and it is. I'm sick of IT. I don't want to sit in front of a computer all day. It's a partial cause of my back problems, my weight, and my stress - all of which I need a major break from. I'm still going to finish my Master's degree, because I want to be able to teach. I can teach IT once I graduate. But that's just a side thing. I've been looking into Nutritionist and Herbalist classes/certifications. Ever since I started to take control of my life and start fighting PCOS, I realized that there weren't really a whole lot of options for women like me - Women with no insurance, and women who don't want doctors to shove pills down their throats. I've made pretty much all of my decisions for treatment by myself based on tons of research. But not everyone is a research junkie like I am. I'd like to be able to help other people fight their problems like I have - with safe, natural supplements that are better in the long run than prescription medications.

So anyways, my song this week is based on my thought process for the week. It also just happens to be one of the greatest bands alive (IMHO). Here's Bon Jovi with It's My Life!

Exercise can be fun!

The weekend is always the best time for me to get my exercise, simply because I don't have to work. Although I love my Wii workout, that's really more for the middle of the week. I've started planning my weekends to include lots of physical activities, without the dread of actual exercise. Weight Watchers stresses that you don't use the term 'exercise', but rather 'activity'. I would agree. 'Exercise' can strike fear into the hearts of even the healthy, whereas 'activity' implies something fun. So here's what I have planned for the next few weekends as 'activity': Friday, Mar 25: Weeding My Garden Oh my goodness, the weeds have just taken over! I have 3 birdfeeders very close to the garden, so seeds get thrown in it all the time. The seeds have started growing plants, so I will be digging around tonight, pulling all of them out. Saturday, Mar 26: Fort Worth Zoo specifically for the new Museum of Living Art. Last time we ...

Vegetarian life update

I've made it through the first 3 days as a vegetarian, and I haven't missed meat at all. I know that the first few weeks are the hardest, and I'm pleased so far. I've been using quinoa and hemp seeds for proteins, and will be using nuts and beans as well. There are thousands of recipes online, and I've already tried some. I'm having to teach Hubs that it's okay for him to eat meat, and that I have no problem cooking it for him. I just don't add meat to my meal. It's surprisingly easy. We went to the grocery store on Saturday, and I walked out with no animal proteins or dairy in my bags. It was easy to ignore the meat. My PCOS group is doing an event called "Creating Goals with Soul", using Danielle LaPorte's Workbook O' Fire. Some of the girls are so excited to participate - and we could all use a little help sticking to our goals. My current health goals: - Continue my vegetarian lifestyle change - Eliminate my coffee consumpt...
