Big Turn Around

-
Today was one of those days. Ya know the kind where you wake up and you just don't feel like doing anything. That was me. I woke up a little before 5am. I wasn't feeling the gym, at all. So, I Heard my husband leave and decided I needed to do something with my morning. I accomplished a lot. I scrubbed all the tile floors, I did a load of laundry and got some quality snuggle time in with the animals. I wasn't really worried about my steps today.

I had a great day at work. Took some walks. My coworker brought doughnuts in. I had one, it was so sweet. I am trying to cut back on the sugar, I couldn't believe how sweet that doughnut was. Then my other coworker took me to lunch for street taco's. They were amazing. Of course I walked on my last break. When I got home the hubby had cauliflower shrimp fired rice. It was delicious. Don always tells me that he can't cook. I now know, yes he can! I was missing about 800 steps to hit my goal. I took out Gretel and we walked the hood. It is nice to always have a dog who is willing to walk, when you need too.

I guess the moral of this post it, you can make it whatever kind of day you want it to be. Just because you are feeling, MEH, in the am doesn't mean that is the way you need to feel all day. :)

The Journey Begins

-
Here we are, March 2nd. Most people tend to start a new lifestyle on January 1st. It seems, it is the thing to do. Well, I was sick with the flu for almost the entire month of January, so literally nothing happened. February was so busy at work, that again nothing happened.  That leads me to today. Before, I start talking about today, let me give you some background,on myself and the lifestyle I am hoping to ditch. I have an office job, which requires me to sit at a desk in front of a computer for 8 hours a day.What do I do all day? I sit and eat and make phone calls. I am 47 years old and considered obese. Last year was a pretty rough year. I think I went through two jobs and finally landed where I work today. It was a year of poor choices all the way around. But, those choices helped me to grow stronger and learn. I had a scare last January. I was having severe chest pain. I went to the E.R. immediately. They did an EKG and everything was normal. They had me sitting in a curt...

It looks like a few years ago, I planted a seed, that I needed change in my llife. Here we are, February 23rd, 2020. Finally after many unsuccessful attempts, I am here. What has changed, you ask? I have! Iam almost 50, and I see how I have abused myseelf, it is time for a change. To help me with this change, I started school. Yes, as previously stated in this blog, I was going to a wonderful, Dr. just like everything else in my life, the tough got going and I quit. I am embarassed, and really hard on myself, regarding my actions and my decisions. I am not quite ready to face Dr. T, yet. But, I will make it back before the middle of the year. (that is a big goal) I really just need to prove some things to myself, first.  Let me tell you about school! I am going to be a life coach. At first, when I discussed this with my family members and friends, they said it would be the perfect job for me. I like to help anyone who needs it. My own thoughts were quite different. How could I help...

Lazy Sunday's

Lazy Sunday's are the best. The girls (my dogs) and I didn't get out of bed until, after 9am today. It was a cloudy. rainy. dreary morning. It was fabulous! When Don finally coaxed us out of bed, I went to weigh myself and I was down 2.5 lbs from last week. I started transitioning to a whole food plant based diet last week. To start my transition, I started with only my breakfast. I usually have eggs, for breakfast. Last week it was multigrain pancakes with fruit and pure maple syrup. Ya, know they weren't half bad. The thing I like is that you eat until you are full. For the most part I didn't need a snack before lunch.  This week I prepped more pancakes for the mornings I am busy. I am also going to try some smoothies as well. I will let you know how that goes. Also, on top of the breakfasts. This week starts lunches with no meat.  I am a sandwich lover. This may be a bit harder than breakfast. After dinner tonight, I will be prepping black bean and brown rice burri...
