Today's plan
Well..I found these new drinks that I love, they are Cascade Ice and the whole bottle is only two calories! yay!!! They are sparlking water with real juice. yummy!!! I have some yogurt and a salad for lunch. I started my new workout routine yesterday with my gym buddy.. with some confusion as to what the exercises were, I decided Im googling them today.
I am calling my dr today for sure to see if I can get shots or something in my back, I just can't handle the pain when walking anymore.. It's rediculous, I am not old enough to feel like that. lol..but the pain meds aren't helping that part of my pain, so I'm off to find another option..hopefully..
I finished my pouches for my crystals and tarot cards but can't find my cord for my camera, I will try to upload them tonight. I am so not Martha Stewart, but my treasures have homes now, that were made with love :)
Lacey had a great week, her teacher even rewarded her with a book from the book fair! We were pretty proud of her, let's hope she can keep it up. She is a little behind on her reading, but I'll just keep cramming books down her throat lol.

What I'm learning..new beginings..
Imbolc
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Imbolc is one of the four principal festivals of the Celtic calendar, celebrated among Gaelic peoples and some other Celtic cultures, either at the beginning of February or at the first local signs of Spring. Most commonly it is celebrated on February 1, which falls halfway between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox in the northern hemisphere. Originally dedicated to the goddess Brigid, in the Christian period it was adopted as St Brigid's Day. In Scotland the festival is also known as Là Fhèill Brìghde, in Ireland as Lá Fhéile Bríde, and in Wales as Gŵyl y Canhwyllau.
Imbolc is traditionally a time of weather prognostication, and the old tradition of watching to see if serpents or badgers came from their winter dens is perhaps a precursor to the North American Groundhog Day. A Scottish Gaelic proverb about the day is:
Thig an nathair as an toll
Là donn Brìde,
Ged robh trì troighean dhen t-sneachd
Air leac an làir.
"The serpent will come from the hole
On the brown Day of Bride,
Though there should be three feet of snow
On the flat surface of the ground."
Fire and purification are an important aspect of this festival. Brigid (also known as Brighid, Bríde, Brigit, Brìd) is the Gaelic goddess of poetry, healing and smithcraft. As both goddess and saint she is also associated with holy wells, sacred flames, and healing. The lighting of candles and fires represents the return of warmth and the increasing power of the Sun over the coming months.
This is a definition from Wikipedia.. I see this as a great place to start.
I found some beautiful pics online too...now you see why I feel so peaceful when I'm learning and reading

Learning for myself (don't read if you might get offended)
I sat the other night, with my Wicca bible..I read almost three fourths of it..then I started getting tired and stopped, but I learned so much. I learned that there are several Wiccan paths, I just need to let one find me. I may even make my own, it is up to the Goddess.. somehow, typing Goddess just makes me smile. It makes me feel happy inside. Not feeling like I'm lost anymore, I have something I can believe in. I can actually grasp nature, I can see the wonderfulness of life. I know that's not really a word, but I like it.
I love that I can choose what I believe in, that I don't have to be forgiven for something I didn't do. I love that I can worship alone or find others that share my same love. I can walk outside and feel the little changes in the world, some good, some bad..but always there. I can't wait to learn more.
I don't want to offend anyone by this post, I am just sharing my thoughts. I have never really believed in "God" as most of my friends and family know. I tried to grasp the concept of a man that controls the souls of everyone on earth, making them ask for his forgivness to be worthy of his love..or something to that effect. I tried. I really did. I just didn't fit. I want to be able to have my peace and be accepted for that, everyone had their beliefs, and that is great.
I finally found something that gives me peace, and it is awesome!
Again, please don't be offended, I don't want to chase any of my friends away.. I am still me, just not spiraling through this universe uncontrollably anymore. I am not quite ready to be completely out of the "broom closet" but I am slowly letting things out..Hopefully not too much.

Weigh In day..omg!! Is this worth it?
Ok, so after my episode last Friday..Which I am still feeling the after affects some...I have only lost 1/2 of a pound..OMG!
This doesn't seem worth it..I almost want to give up..Almost.. but I won't..
I mean..I give up every other diet I've tried. I have to make this one stick.
Maybe it was the weekend, I know I didn't get enough water every day.. I know I didn't keep track of what I ate this weekend, which I admit, I had a french fry or a piece of cheese pizza..
So...
Starting over this week.
And at least I didn't gain weight..That is a plus I suppose.
Today's plan
B-fast FF cottage cheese, fruit coctail 1/2 cup each 140 calories
Snack banana and yogurt 160 calories
Lunch: Homemade chili with pinto beans 225 calories for about a cup
Snack apple 60 cals
Dinner..tbd
I will make it back into the gym, for possibly a light workout. I do not want to chance overworking myself again, it was soooo not worth it!
