My Eeny Weeny Blog (More about me)

When I started this blog it was shortly after

my gastric sleeve surgery. I blogged a long time before

that running an extreme coupon blog and Facebook page.

Between working and taking care of the kids I couldn’t

keep up with the couponing blog.

This blog was created to help people, eating better, exercise etc.

It has now changed and shaped into just more than that.

I share my own personal stories, struggles and I love

to share recipes, DIY and more.

As you all have noticed by now I am also sharing animals,

Scentsy and so much more. I know I have an about section

but let me take a minute to talk about me.

I just turned 45 this year and for some reason I feel it.

I have bone spurs in both my shoulders and knees,

I have back pain that doesn’t stop along with tendinitis

in both of my feet. I am now starting with severe ankle

issues and my wrists are getting bad.

My son has Ehlers Danlos, which I will be making posts

about as well as most Dr’s have not heard of it. I intend on

getting tested for that as well. I have not been hard

on my body, most of my jobs consisted of customer

service so not standing. I didn’t power lift (like my hubby did).

There must be a rhyme or reason to the pain I feel.

I went to see a specialist to get tested for RA, I passed

by 1 point so he would not consider me testing

positive for RA, needles to say there are a few

specialists that I should probably see and get second opinions.

Okay done with the griping. Let me tell you a little bit more about me.

I have been married for 25 years to the love of my life, we

have 3 amazing children that we are proud of.

Our youngest is getting ready to join the Navy and as a mom

I am scared but couldn’t be happier for him.

I currently have 1 granddaughter with a grandson on the way

due in December which should make Christmas interesting.

Since my weightloss surgery I have gained 30 pounds

back and it really bothers me. I want to lose weight but

there are a few things that need to happen. 1. I need to go

back to healthy eating and 2. I need to get my butt back into the gym.

I love cardio but struggle doing anytype of lifting due to joint issues.

We also have a zoo at the house. I love taking care of the reptiles,

amphibians and more. I also love blogging, it is great for my

depression and I look at it as once I am gone my kids

will have my recipes, thoughts and more.

Feel free to ask any questions about me or to

Depression Sucks!

Dear Diary....Depression Sucks, I have it marked in the "About Me" section that I am Bipolar. I was diagnosed Manic Depressive when I was 15, and then at a later date it turned too Bipolar Type 2. What is Bipolar 2 Disorder? It is a form of mental illness, it is similar to Bipolar 1 except with moods cycling between high and low over time. Most of the time the "up" moods never reach full blown mania (I have had that twice in my life). The less intense elevated moods in bipolar 2 are called hypomanic episodes. Most people that have Bipolar 2 suffer more from depression, which is where the term mani depression comes from. Depressive episodes can last weeks, months and (rarely) years. I have never let being bipolar define me but I am not going to lie it has affected a lot in my life. Especially when I am in the "manic" state. Again was only twice in my life but when it happened everything durring that period of time changed! ...
