Episode 7 ACV, Water and Cranberries

 Good Morning


    I've been considering what I put in my body as of late. After looking over my diet, I'm horrified. I eat way too many fried foods, soft drinks and snacks (the unhealthy kind). I'm trying to find a way to eat healthier, but still let my family eat what they want. The only problem is, I want what they want too. I'll admit my resolve is weak and I'm working on it. I have been able to get my mom to start drinking ACV with me and more water too. So, it's a shift in the right direction. Now to lessen the number of times we eat fried foods. Mom even bought a new blood pressure monitor and it's keeping me well aware of why it's so important for me to get healthy. High blood pressure runs in my family, and I want to stop the cycle with me. Something I used to take on a regular basis were cranberry pills or the soft chews. I know the juice has too much sugar in it, but sometimes I'd drink that too. Just not as often. I want to get back to that as well as getting more iron in my system. I tend to suffer from anemia. I can be so tired at times and just sleep the day away. Oof. The struggle is real darlings. It's work, but it's worth it.


Love you lovelies! 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...
