This past summer I was walking with the kids and we passed by this house with these awesome HUGE purple leaves and I had to take a picture with my phone…

Well our fish is no its last fin and I am not sure what to do about it.  We have had it for 2 years and I hear form those who have fish that 2 years is a long time for a fish.



You can see in the picture below the swollen blue eye and this blue has started to show up all over the purple color the fish is…

Happy boxing day, well yesterday!  I did not get a chance to post this yesterday as I was too busy playing with the kids and all their new Christmas toys. LOL



I was so sick and tired of being couped up in the house, even though its freezing cold outside so I took the dog…

http://btrbb.blogspot.com/2010/12/working-out-16-days-after-interstim.html

It has been 16 days since my stage 2 surgery of InterStim and I just did 90 seconds of plank position and jogged in place in front of the TV for 18 minutes and I DID NOT PEE, or even had the urge too and it did not hurt. 



This is so cool.  My incision is still sore to the touch.  When I…

This is just one of those, why questions.  I was making some dinner and was out of fresh garlic so headed to the spice rack to get some dried garlic.  I opened the lid, on the wrong side first, and found these little small holes.  Now the garlic is pretty big slices and could in no way…

Posting this a couple days after I wrote it since I have posted others:)

I posted a few days ago my weight gain over the couple weeks of surgery.  Even though I have not been feeling good enough to do much of a work out I have lost pretty much what I gained over those surgery…

So I was trying desperately today to put some jeans on my son who is fitting nicely into 18 month clothes for Pj's and shirts and any other pant but jeans.  Here are two pairs of his jeans that are BOTH 18 months…

 am no expert but my opinion is that Christmas chopping does NOT have to be so difficult.  I have a novel idea and a very easy formula to make Christmas shopping easier and help you spend a lot less time in the hustle and bustle of hoards of people.  Get a pen and paper and get ready to take…

Joe Vitale, as you know if you have been reading my posts, has been a HUGE inspiration for me through my positive thinking journey.  Again, I will plug for him, and no I don't get paid to do this I truly believe in what he has to say, you really need to listen to his…

http://btrbb.blogspot.com/2010/12/arent-these-supposed-to-be-taco.html

OK I am venting today.  I was so looking froward to tacos and bought 2 boxes of hard corn shells, got them home, prepared the meet, cheese etc and opened up the taco shells to put them in the oven and BAM, 100% broken.  I am serious.  They were the last thing I did, food was on the table and I have no…

http://tawnasplan.blogspot.com/2010/12/temporarily-putting-p90x-on-hold.html

I tried but it is just entirely to soon after my surgery to do the P90X.  I am thinking that it is probably not a

good idea to push myself especially when I am still having some pain where the incision is.  My new goal to start P90X is going to be February 1st, 2011.  I should hopefully be…

Who says you can't use side walk chalk when it snows outside?  Not me, we had a great time with it.  Love it that it washes off so easily!  We had a good snow storm last week and after we finished marking up the entire back yard, we were not ready to go in yet so we drew all over the fence.  Now my daughter…

Today was plyometrics which is disc 2 of P90X well....made it about 10 minutes and my butt did not like that too much.  Too much too soon after surgery I guess.  I did not push it as I don't need another surgery so I turned it off.  I will have to come back to that one in about…

http://btrbb.blogspot.com/2010/12/thanks-to-interstim-i-worked-out-for-60.html

I used to go to the bathroom minutes before working out, again a few minutes into it, and once or twice more before the work out was done.  Most my work outs were between 20-60 minutes and this was very frustrating. 



It has been a week since my stage 2 InterStim surgery and I did…

http://tawnasplan.blogspot.com/2010/12/p90x-am-i-crazy.html

Well I borrowed P90X from a friend as it is pretty expensive and am wondering if my body can handle starting it this week. I want to try the first work out today and see if my sore surgery butt can handle it. I tried to get it from the library but could not get it at our local library and found a ton of people that I know have it…

All I have to say is click on my blog link and check out the pic of my grandparents on top of their roof looking at the snow. This picture is from many years ago in Canada. It made me shut my mouth and quit complaining about our little 3-4 m inches today.

http://btrbb.blogspot.com/2010/12/day-5-after-stage-2-interstim-surgery.html

I have had to turn up my InterStim every day for the past 3 days. It is working and things are much better but I am still suffering more than I should be with the OAB (overactive bladder). As far as any leaking, that is gone after yesterdays turn up.



It will take some time to fine tune…

http://btrbb.blogspot.com/2010/12/day-3-after-stage-2-of-insterstimm.html

I slept 8 straight hours without getting up to pee last night! This is the most exciting thing as I used to have to get up every 2-3 hours to pee at night and more in the winter time because when me feet get cold it makes me have to pee. It is freezing cold now and I slept all night long and did not…

http://tawnasplan.blogspot.com/2010/12/adding-arm-weights-today.html

Well since I have been sore and not working much in the cardio area of my life I have decided to pick up the 3 and 5 pound dumbbells today and do some upper body. Since it still hurts to sit some and it really hurts to do cardio I figured "why not burn some calories and buff up my upper body?" So now that I am…
