Life and ViSalus

I had my hematologist appointment yesterday, there was not a lot that he had to say. Basically we are reevaluating my levels and doing genetics testing to see what that comes up with. I had 16 vials of blood taken and there were at least 12 different tests that I saw on the lab report. The kids went to daycare/school for the few hours and they loved it! Shiana was very well behaved, something that I was honestly a little nervous about. Keylan played with kids his age and colored an airplane, yes it is on my fridge, lol. I go back to the doctor in 3 weeks for the results. Shiana starts school on Monday and will be going all day. She is excited about it and I am looking forward to it too. 


I am going to be starting ViSalus on Monday. I have heard a lot of people talking about it and that it does work. I am doing the $99 package, with it you replace 2 meals a day with a shake, eat one healthy meal, 3 healthy snacks and drink at least 80 ounces of water a day, and cut out the sodium. Also with exercising. I figure it will be easier to do with Shiana in school, I can exercise during Keylan's nap in the afternoon and the days that PT is at the gym I can go with Jeremy and walk around the track with Keylan in his stroller. My goal is to lose 50 pounds by August, I know it is going to be hard and kick my butt, but if I can put my mind to it I can do it. I just need support, which kinda comes hard to find. http://visalus.com/  <<< this is the site that you can go to to get more information and order from. And if you want to be one of my customers, just let me know! This is my personal page to order through >>>> https://aehoneycutt.myvi.net/profile/index.html So I will be keeping everyone up to date. I may do pictures, but honestly am afraid to, but I think that it might help me along the way. I am also using http://www.myfitnesspal.com/ to keep up with how many calories I eat, how much exercise and I burn, and how much water I drink throughout the day.  So here is to crossing my fingers and hoping this works and if it does then I might think about selling them =) 

Nervous

Tomorrow I have my first hematologist/oncologist appointment. I am nervous as all get out. I know I have two clotting disorders, but I don't know the extent of them or treatment is. But I am also nervous that Keylan is going to daycare, even if it is just for a few hours. He has been with me or close friends or my mom in his life, but complete strangers he has never been with. I am also nervous because I know how some people are with non-circumcised little boys; really wishing I had went ahead and ordered those stickers that I wanted. They said "Intact DON'T Retract", so I guess that I am going to be writing it on his diapers tonight. I am not worried at all about Shiana because it is the same place that she went to before. But, she will also be starting school full time next week. It will honestly be nice to be able to clean the apartment and do homework; and once it gets closer to the time that we move I will be able to pack without, hopefully, any problems. Send me some prayers; prayers that I don't stress out to much over Keylan and that I get good news at my appointment tomorrow.

Problems...

So lately we have been having problems with Shiana. She does not listen or follow directions, even simple ones, and it is a constant fight. I have been looking at different disorders to see if anything fits and I think I have one that really fits her to a tee. I know it is out there, but i/we spend everyday with her. I am going to call her pediatrician tomorrow and set-up an appointment to discuss things. Jeremy is all spank her and she will behave, but I personally do not believe in doing it. It would be all day long. One thing that she has gotten much better with is bedtime. I honestly need to organize our day more and stick to it. Starting tomorrow there will be an hour of tv in the morning and an hour in the afternoon. Bedtime will stay the same 8-8:30; snack, brush teeth, book, sleep. I am hoping and pretty sure that there is nothing wrong with her, but i feel better with talking this out and maybe I can figure out the right path to look at and follow. so I am asking for prayers that we can have a major attitude adjustment, especially since she starts school in 6 months.
