I may be a little biased, but I'm a huge proponent of turning to alternative medicine if you can't get answers the traditional way. It may be slightly more expensive and "out there," but in most cases, you're also getting someone who has more time to really go into your history and come up with a personalized plan that's tailored to what you need. And then constantly tweak it to get you answers and results. It's really unfortunate that doctors are so overworked and don't have that much time to spend with their patients. You're totally right about needing to take charge and really be your own advocate.

I adore blogger meet ups, but I rarely get to have them since I kind of feel like I live in the middle of blogger no-man's-land and there isn't really anyone around me. See? This is why I need the power of teleportation. It would solve so many of my annoying little problems.

:( My heart totally goes out to you, Amanda. I can't say the I've ever had to struggle with things to this level, but I've dealt with a lot of hormonal issues thanks to my eating disorder, so I know how frustrating it can be when you feel like crap and can't really explain why... then having to wait for your body to figure itself out and not really being able to do anything to help I don't even think most people realize how big of an impact hormones have on our daily lives, and I'm sending you all the best positive vibes <3

This THIS THIS! This is totally why I don't track my runs and why I think I was able to stick with running for so long after continuously failing at it in the past. I don't have plans to be the fastest runner out there or push my body too hard -- all I really want is to be able to run and enjoy myself.. even if it's "just" for a single mile that day ;)

Oh man, I haven't been snowshoeing since I was in grade school, but I'd love to go again -- especially if I could do it in the mountains! And I hear ya on the essential oils... I use so many of them in my daily beauty routine and I've been loving it so much.

I don't follow any of these either. I might do them occasionally, but definitely not on a regular basis. And #5 is definitely one I never follow. I tried the whole eating with no distractions thing and found that I was rushing through my meals because I was bored out of my mind. If I'm with someone, then yeah... I'm all for conversations over food. But alone? I need the computer to keep me company. You're right -- totally relaxing!

Happy Thanksgiving, lady! I think that paying attention to the journey rather than just focusing on the destination is so, SO important. Otherwise we miss all the awesome things and life lessons along the way!

I can't even tell you how many times I've thought about getting a tattoo, but I've got a HUGE needle phobia, so that kind of makes things different. And how delicious are those Naked juices?!? The orange mango one makes me weak in the knees <3

I loved linkups when I was growing my blog! Great way to get new readers and have a loose idea of what I wanted to post. Thanks so much for including ToL :D

As much as I love working for myself and doing something I adore, I definitely struggle with not feeling like I -constantly- have to be working... because you're right -- it does always feel like there's something left to do. I've been doing better at setting work hours for myself, but I definitely have a tendency to push the boundaries on those as well.
