New Plans

Fall back regroup - new plans for the day...

Well at first we were going to go pick up some firewood.  EXCELLENT price of $50/cord of cherry (from and old orchard) but the guy decided to head out for the weekend sooo there went that plan.  So instead I need to figure out something else 'productive' to do.  I have the day off from my 'real' job so the evening is free... so do I spend it with my husband which is what I would truly WANT to do - or do I go to a support group and make my presence known and remind them I have a protein/supplement business (plus get a little support too).  So personal or business - mmmm - not sure which one will win yet.

Business isn't 'taking off' like I imagined/dreamed it would.  There have been a few customers (THANK YOU GUYS) but of course I was dreaming of being a multi BILLIONaire by now - LOL - JK - but at least a small steady clientele.  I see advertisement and endorsements all over the interaweb/cyberspace and I have envy at seeing THEIR names out there.  I know I'm not big enough yet - nor do I have the supply (or money) to support that type of advertisement.  I have to remember small steps!  What I see out there is what I'm aiming at - what I WILL accomplish.  OK the dream right now - if this is where the road leads (and God only knows if it does) is to someday have a real store front.  A nice one in a busy location - a shopping center maybe?  I would have one area for sales (of course), but I would have a room in there for support meetings (free of charge) to local groups, I would have an area set up so there could be protein samples and drinks sold through out the day.  Maybe a small 'Starbuck' like seating area (with WiFi) so that said folks could enjoy their protein drinks - LOL!  Am I dreaming TOO big?  Am I setting my sights TOO high?  Well when I had surgery I set my sights to being healthy - and at this time I am.  Of meeting the doc's goal and maybe going lower - I did.  So who knows - it just might happen - stranger things have...

Interesting coincidence? I don't think so...

I just noticed something... every time I watch 'The Biggest Loser' I tend to shovel food in my face.  I just did it again.  I wasn't hungry - I just had some eggs for God's sake - but I pulled more out of my lunch box because..... I don't know why.  Maybe their struggles and pain mirror mine so much I'm trying to medicate myself so I don't hurt with them?  Sounds possible - I think this is something I need to look at closer, and I was doing so good not pushing that 'full' feeling.  Kinda disappointed in myself... yeah - work in progress.

Trial and Error...

Well - I can't say this is my first blog - but I'm hoping it will be the last one I try to set up - LOL! I dabbled a couple times trying to set one up - and I can't remember where they ended up - cyberspace somewhere... but I'm realizing more and more that I need a place to put my thoughts.  If I don't they go rolling around and I loose them - LOL!  This will be a compilation of personal/business/informational blogging.  I don't know what the 'protocol' is for a blogger - nor am I good with punctuation or diction - that's just not me.  Even spelling isn't the best - although that little wavy red line under certain words really does help :) So this will be a growing - learning process.

I figured out today that I needed to put info somewhere.  Compile it in ONE place so that I can access it - but also I can share that info with others.  I have seen so many excellent blogs that I'm almost afraid to put this out there - I feel like a kindergartner watching an executive and wanting to grow up to be 'just like them' - LOL!  I figure though - they had to start somewhere too - and if I never start - I will never get there!

So this will be scattered - not just one thing or another - some personal stuff - some business stuff - some informational stuff.  I will try to 'label' things so that if you don't want to read one type, but do want to read another - that will be an option - but I don't even know if that's possible - LOL!  Weeee as if I need ANOTHER thing to do :)  I promise that I will TRY not to whine to much in the personal part - but I'm sure there will be duplicate information posted.  I have been enjoying reading other's blogs - I get a lot of good info and points of views from them.  I might not agree totally with what is posted - but that is what makes us INDIVIDUALS.  I also promise to be as honest with the info I write as I possibly can - but please remember in this journey (WLS and life it's self) I might 'think' I KNOW something - just to find out later I was wrong... 

The fear I have in 'putting myself out there' is being judged and found wanting - of every word I type being scrutinized for errors - of putting out info that really is wrong and not catching it - of falling flat on my face and others laughing.  I'm going to do it anyway - but those are my fears (that I'm willing to admit and face right now). 

So I will be playing for a bit - adding info I have collected and stored in other places to here - it will be a work in progress :^)
