I Put the DISS in disinformation #1

If you know me, you know how much I hate it when people spread disinformation.  The convo below is a perfect example that not having a fancy degree (I just have my H.S. diploma) does not mean you can't do your homework and prove when someone is completely full of shit.

Chiropractic is not quackery, nor was Andrew Taylor Still, the person who invented osteopathy and osteopathic medicine.

These are some examples of adjustments by one of the best chiropractors I've ever seen, just judging from his Youtube video.  It just goes to show what miracle workers people in health care can be if they truly care about their patients and take their job very seriously, the way Dr. Ian Rossborough does (doesn't hurt that he's a cute Aussie either):

GBE2 Blog Challenge Day Three

Day 03: Something with which you struggle

I have chronic fatigue syndrome.  I got a case of mono that nearly killed me when I was 17, and ever since then fatigue is what I will deal with every day of my life.  The thing that really sucks is that the fatigue gets worse the older I get.  When I get my period I have a tendency to just sleep all day  the first day I get it and it sucks.

 Given the fact that I really did not eat well at all for the last half of last year, I'm really trying hard to fill my body with what will give me energy and keep my immune system as strong as possible.

Feel free to add a link to your blog or your entry for today in the comments!  I try to respond to everyone as much as I can!

Let it Snow

It's the second snowfall of the season right outside my window. I love winter because of the snow. I can't smell it coming like Lorilai Gilmore could, but it is much appreciated by me because it cleanses the air of all the pollution and allergens that are so prevalent in New Jersey. I love being able to breathe clean crisp air.

There's a "House" marathon on, and that's perfect for me since I won't be going out much today. Just to our local sporting goods store so I can get some workout gear.

Gym Rat

I just signed up for a year membership to my local family run gym. I've had just about enough of doing the same thing every day, and as much as I love my kid, I need some "me" time so that I can get out a lot of frustrations and whatever else might be bothering me, plus they have massages, which I can't wait to get.

The guy who took me on the tour was pretty cute, I must admit. Other than that I'm impressed with what they have to offer and it'll do me a lot of good to get back into a healthy lifestyle. I've spent too much time being sad and comforting myself with food. My brother in law is gone and he is not coming back. I have to give up the ghost, I have to do something with my free time other than lying in bed with the covers all over me, watching TV.

I think I'm going to be in fantastic shape by next January.

New Year's

New Year's pretty much came and went. Nothing too special at all: I was in bed by about ten. New Year's is usually just an excuse to get drunk anymore, and I'm really trying to stay away from alcohol as much as I can. All alcohol does is make me really bloated and the more I drink the more pounds I put on, so I'm back to abstaining as much as I can.

And then there's my soda addiction and the fact that I started back up with smoking again a few weeks ago. I know I know, bad, Katie, bad bad Katie. I really couldn't help it because for some reason I was really craving cigarettes. Maybe the burnt out single mother part of me was craving them. I'm sure that had a lot to do with it. I smoke about three cigs a day and I'm going to phase them out eventually.


I have eaten a lot of sugar since the new year came in, but I’m at the time in my weight loss where I ‘m ready to really cut down on it. That and carbs. Sugar and carbs are always my biggest weaknesses. That is really not good considering diabetes is very prevalent on my father’s side of the family.

I really can’t eat whatever I want anymore. I’m 28 years old now; it isn’t like it was back when I was 21 and pack it away, exercise three times a week, and that was enough to maintain my figure. I really have to work at it now and I really can’t gobble down junk food like I used to. It’s official: I really have to make the effort to stay at a healthy weight.

But this year I want to get shredded. I want to see how ripped and defined I can get this year. I want to keep my curves, but there’s definitely too much jiggle in my wiggle, if you catch my drift. So I stared replacing soda with vitamin water, drinking one to two cups of green tea with Splenda, drinking one 8 ounce cup of milk spiked with milk chocolate Ovaltine.

I have Exercise TV on demand, so that’s what I will be doing for my cardio/strength training. I also will most likely get a membership to the gym closest to me. I want to hit the gym like twice a week and then do two workouts at home a week. The more strenuous exercise will obviously be had at the gym, and my recovery exercise at home.

I know I can do this. I have to do this. For myself, and my daughter. I have to be around for a long time for her. She’s my walking talking reason to rehabilitate myself from binge eating.

Abnormal Pleasures

I have tasted abnormal pleasures, they can dull the taste for normal ones. However, I believe that unless one has an extremely addictive personality, one can keep themselves from allowing the thrill of rudimentary pleasures to fade.

There have been times in my life before I had my daughter that I assumed I was just another extremely jaded member of my generation, fed on lies but getting too old to care about them anymore.

Having my daughter in a sense gives me the chance to relive my own childhood. There is so much I had missed out on because I did not have much choice but to grow up too fast.

As for abnormal carnal pleasures; I have no regrets about when I was first introduced. I was a bit younger than the average of my demographic, but I grew to realize that sex and everything that encompassed it was something I was always going to be more daring than I could have ever imagined I would be when I had just discovered just how much I like boys.

Now that I am nearing 30, I know once and for all that I am straight, and I love the male physique. I love everything about it, and I do not mean just the men who's bodies are or are near perfection. Men don't have to have a perfect body for me to want them like crazy.
