It’s a New Day!!

2018 was rough. But also, really good.

The advent of 2019 has brought a bunch of newness.  It feels like breathing clean air for the first time in ages.

I started unsuccessfully on my clean eating diet.  Well, it was constantly  the same old struggle of night TV time, wine and chocolates. I just did not know how to kick the habit!  I kept telling myself: " I deserve it, after a long, hard day". 

Every… night..  Finally I found something that works for me.

Beside that, I moved back into an office and at first, I thought it was going to be terrible. But it has started off so well. It has been fun and busy to be in the office environment again.  Juggling the kids and their schedules has been interesting (especially this week because my husband has been sick) – But all in all Happy Things!

We are looking for a new house, a new job for my husband. We just want to move our family into a new direction.

I find critique so limiting and emotionally draining – I am trying to clean up my life in every area. I realized a long time ago that without God, we truly cannot change our ways no matter how positive we are.

I did see my Father quit smoking cold turkey after being a smoker for many years and he never went back. Kudos to will-power.  But it never made him a better person. My point is, we can rearrange our habits and still be shitty people.  So I am trying to do both.

Lets talk KETO

People debate this diet constantly. But it just simply works for me! It just does. I have to really be good on it to lose the weight, but I feel SO much better about myself and my life in general.  I am hopeful that the weight will come off successfully after the allotted 28 days.

I went to the ER with my daughter last night. It started off as maybe appendicitis and ended up being constipation. It was an expensive lesson for her. Well for me.. but it helped her realize that you cannot just eat whatever you want and be healthy. It look me about 35 years to realize this and now I am back peddling. But, since we live in the NOW – cant change the past.. I am doing all I can to be healthy now.

So many people say Keto isn’t exactly helathy because I am not eating a bunch of fruit every day and veggies are not free. But I eat more veggies now that I did before – so simple for ME – I am doing better.

It is now day 11 and I have cheated 1 day.. and felt horrible – I am sticking with this way of eating until I see the benefits. Everyday I will get better and better with the science of it all.

I am in the process of applying for a New South African passport, I need to travel home this year and get some t hings figured out!!

Ok that is all from me – boring. But hey – aren’t you glad I am back??? Hahahhahahahha
