Struggles with Weight Loss

October 5th, 2008 -- Posted in Uncategorized | No Comments »

Finding the best way to lose weight is difficult. Most people begin with diet and exercise which brings them some success in losing weight. My friend Casey struggled to lose weight for years. She turned to Diet Pills to get off the rest of her weight. She has tried all different diets to help her lose weight. She would get discouraged very quickly. This didn’t help her self esteem. She was depressed a lot because she couldn’t reach her goal for weight loss. Casey had struggled with being over weight since she was a little girl. In her teens she was called the fat girl in class. She faced a lot of rejection from people around her. When she kept her weight off she felt better about herself. She was able to be social with her peers and didn’t feel like she needed to hide from others. The drug Acomplia was the first diet drug she tried. She was able to keep the weight off which helped her feel better about herself. Casey talked to her doctor before trying a diet drug. Casey’s mother had taken Reductil for her weight loss struggles. Casey’s mother had been her greatest cheer leader. I tried to be supportive of Casey, but it was not easy for me. I hadn’t struggled with my weight until Lupus. Having Lupus I’ve had to take medication just to keep my symptoms under control. The prednisone has helped me gain the most weight. Now I can understand her struggle with losing weight and keeping the weight off. Lupus has its way of giving you many ups and downs in life. In life we all have our own struggles. Struggles are just a part of life.

My Favorite TV Show Army Wives

October 5th, 2008 -- Posted in relaxation | No Comments »

One of my favorite TV shows is Army Wives. I enjoy watching the lives unfold on Army wives. It allows me to get my mind away from the struggles with lupus everyday.Trevor and Roxy are a cute couple on the show. In last season they portrayed them as the ideal couple. This season they through in a dose of Trevor having an issue with pain killers. I hate seeing people struggle with addiction of any kind. Its something I’ve seen a lot of people struggle with it. It has its way of tearing an entire family apart in the blink of an eye. Army Wives is portraying the life of a family struggling with a family members addiction well. The drama of the Army Wives is something that everyone needs to see. Its a great awareness of the wars and how they struggle with life. Many people forget that our soldiers have the same struggles in life that we have.

Its Time to Buy New Blinds

October 2nd, 2008 -- Posted in Misc, Money Saving Tips | No Comments »

One of the first things that I did was buy new blinds when I moved into my home 3 years ago. I did not like the plastic blinds from the previous owners. I like to make my home my own home once I move in. It’s really nice to redecorate a new home with new blinds and furniture. I like to have Blinds with a short valance outdoors because I don’t like the dreary winters. I like the sunshine even though it doesn’t like me. I really need to replace the blinds I have now. They are falling apart because they are falling apart. I’ve had to tape the blind slats together. This time I am going to purchase wood blinds for my home. I really like the ones with thinner slats rather wider slats. I also like Trilogy Blinds too. They are energy effective to help you save money on your power bill. Now a days every cent we can save makes a big different. I was really surprised how many different styles of blinds you can buy. The ones that match your décor are very nice, but they wouldn’t work for me. I like to change the colors of my valances.

Having Enough Car Insurance If you have

September 30th, 2008 -- Posted in Misc | 1 Comment »

After having a car accident, I was glad I had enough car insurance. I am now very careful about my car insurance policy coverage. I’m careful that I have adequate coverage for both my auto repair and any medical bills. One of the biggest things I did not understand is the fact that you have to pay the deductible before the insurance company will pay a penny on your auto repairs. I no longer have a $2000 dollar deductible even if it would save me a few bucks each month. In the end those few bucks are not worth the savings. I’ve seen friends get in auto accident and they can’t get there car fixed because could not afford the deductible. InsureMe offers Motor Car Insurance quotes online for free. You can get quotes for different insurance carriers. I like to be able to get multiple quotes so I don’t have to call multiple insurance carriers for auto insurance quotes. In this time of all the prices going up its helpful to save a few bucks, but I need to have adequate car insurance at the same time. Car insurance is not the place to skimp on. It could end up costing you a lot more money.
