This is a blog about me, my life and my family!

We have started exercising by hiking and walking. There are so many places around to go hiking. We found the perfect place that is a couple miles away and in a good area too. We may have to go read some diet supplements review to see if there is anything out there to help us in this new adventure into losing this unwanted weight!! I am loving my life, only wish now that my family was here with me.

I feel relaxed now, my Boyfriend went and got some pizza from the place across the street and also brought back hot wings...so much for the exercise we did today! I know we are doing it tomorrow too!!!

I posted some pictures of some ducks and mallards on my Facebook, well some mean person decided to hit one of the mallards a street over. I feel so bad right now as I am animal lover and it breaks my heart to see that. Now there is only one mallard left, I thought after seeing that poor thing in the road that my blood pressure was going to shoot up. I know I may need some cholesterol treatment to prevent my blood pressure from going up. My heart is broken though for that poor mallard.

After walking today, I really need to take a hot bath and relax!! I will feel better knowing I am feeling fresh and clean. Things are starting to look up here. I am excited, finally getting my mail. Its been over 20 days, and I know I have important paperwork just floating around out there. I did however get my Son's Social Security card in the mail today. Yay!

On the trip here from Illinois that the elevation going up and down, that my ears hurt. But I never got a headache in which I thought I would. Because I really don't have anything to treat them at the moment, so even the best migraine treatment might not even work because of the pressure of the air here. I think though coming down out of the mountain from Flagstaff was my wake up call. It scared the crap out of me and don't think I could ever do that again!!!

You know I want to say, since being here I have come to appreciate my family. Even though we are 1,500 miles apart, I love them more and more each day. So each time I talk to them, I tell them each time that I love them!!! I don't want them to forget this. I do miss my Mom, Dad, Sisters and Brother, along with everyone else like my Grandma and Papaw. I know when we make it back there to Illinois we will appreciate them even more. One thing though, I do know that for anyone who comes to visit...may not go back home. Its so beautiful here, and so much to do.

That my dear boyfriend still has acne issues, so I am not sure if there is any treatment for adult acne but I really think he needs to look into it. I get it every now and then, so maybe I should look into it myself. But then again, I am exercising more and more. I am noticing that I am sweating a lot more and its causing me to break out. I may change our laundry soap and see if that helps.

I swear if I don't lose a pound or two while living here, then that's it..I'm done. We have decided to start exercising more and eating more healthy. I am tired of being tired all the time and having no energy. This is my life, and I am taking control instead of it taking control of me.

We went hiking in South Mountain Park and its been a long day. My knees are hurting a little bit causing me some joint pain so I may take some medicine to help me sleep tonight. Last night I was a bit uncomfortable, because I am so afraid to open my window because of a certain lizard that is hiding in the window itself. Its kind of freaking me out.

We are now in Arizona, instead of Illinois. I cannot believe the difference in the air, my sleep and overall feeling so much better. Granted I love home, it will always be home. But I am so in love with Arizona, I guess until the heat kicks in. As long as I have air...I am good. Oh and we have a pool here too!!!
