I have tried OTC products. I also have tried to adjust my diet. I have been on ambien for a good 6 months now. But, my insurance has decided they do not think I need it and so they are no longer going to pay for it. I have numerous health issues and without the ambien can not sleep at all. I tried temzapem (restoril) and it does nothing for me. I also exercise. I feel really sleepy but I can not sleep. It is incredibly frustrating. So, if you deal with this too...

I hope you guys have an AWESOME DAY today! Do MORE than you did yesterday! Do something good for your body and snap yourself out of unhealthy habits and routines. Today does not have to be like yesterday- unless yesterday ROCKED your socks off!

What can you do you inspire and help others today? Im not talking about the normal things you do every day to take care of people. Im talking the LITTLE unexpected things that you can do and get nothing but warmth from helping someone. Opening doors, paying with compliments, smiling, BUILD SOMEONE ELSE up and you will build YOU!

Snap out of the feelings of self doubt, pity, and regret and DO SOMETHING. You are the only person in control of YOUR emotions and YOU are in charge of YOUR life! You know what you need to do to be happier, healthier, and stronger. Its always hard.. especially in the beginning to try and change something.. especially if that something is YOU! But if you've got a rad support system (I know you do here on MS!) then you will be successful at whatever you put your efforts into.

Hug more people, smile more, and move more.
ROCK TODAY! Tomorrow will come soon enough. Put your focus on RIGHT NOW!

Since then, I've been doing some yoga a couple of times a week, just the poses that I could remember. So many people discount the benefits of yoga and just consider it stretching. Do you think it is a real workout? I think if you put forth a real amount of time, not the 10 or so mins I do every couple of days, it can count as a good workout. There is a lot of calories to be burned doing some of those poses! ]]> Self Improvement pinkgirl79 http://mommysavers.com/boards/self-improvement/139343-do-you-consider-yoga-real-workout.html http://mommysavers.com/boards/self-improvement/139341-today-i-get-serious.html Sun, 15 Nov 2009 16:25:46 GMT About getting my butt in gear that is! :Ha Ha: I was looking through old pictures last night, and I found one of dh and I back when we were dating. 50 lbs ago when we were dating!

I work a desk job and will do my treadmill as well, but I have come to realize I need to do extra on the treadmill in order to make up the 10,000 steps.
