Episode 2 Swelling and Pain

 Good Morning


    Today is going to be a bit difficult for me. My calves, feet and ankles are swollen. It's to the point where it hurts to walk. I've been working on my diet, now I need to work on the exercise part. I know my weight is a huge part of my health problems as I'm reminded of regularly. I could also be sitting too long, standing too long or eating too many salty foods. I figure if I get in the habit of walking a bit maybe some of my issues will lessen. I'm not a fan of my weight. I'm not very comfortable in my skin, but I can change all of that, and I plan to. I'm taking baby steps. I can only do what I can afford. I can afford to walk, eat less salt, drink more water and try to get better sleep. Those a important keys to a healthier lifestyle. I'm a work in progress...so bear with me.

Love you loves! Kisses.

Season 1 Episode 1-Good Morning Loves

  Good morning. I haven't done a blog in years, but here goes nothing. Sometimes I wonder what do I even put in a blog? So, I figure I'll start with my daily life and let it grow from there. They won't be long post unless I feel like really getting on my soap box about a topic that's really close to my heart. This particular entry is actually late for me. I haven't been to bed yet and have waaaaay too much energy to spare. My cat is curled up next to me and sound asleep. lucky. My insomnia sucks and my anxiety and depression have been at an all-time high. (yay) This is where my social media comes in. I have somewhere to throw that extra stuff built up in my head. Plus, I write books. I just recently finished a children's bedtime story. I look forward to putting that out soon. I'm going to leave this as is and people can take it or leave it. Love you loves! kisses.

Episode 5 Trying Harder

 Good Morning     While doing some  research, I found that a lot of people are saying a lot of different things about weight loss. The one thing that they all have in common: Drink More Water. It was getting to the point where I said to myself 'Okay, okay. I get it. More water.' So, I'm going to try to get out to a nearby park that has a walking trail. I can take my cat for a walk and get myself up and moving more. On a serious note: I don't want to die at an early age. My dad didn't even hit 50 and here I am about to turn 40 in another year. If I only live for 10 more years, what do I have to show for it? I don't have a house, kids, husband or a fruitful business. My life is, for right now, a void. The thing is I am trying. I'm working very hard to get thing up and running and I want to be successful. What is wrong with me? How is it that everyone else can do it and I can't? Am I that flawed? Sometimes I wonder: What am I really meant for? Am I even me...
