Don't get lost in the details...

     


    Today is a lazy day! I don’t feel like cooking or cleaning, working out (though I know I probably will!) or doing anything really! Anyone else having that kind of day too?!

    As MOST of you know, I am on a weight loss journey! It’s about changing habits and finding joy in the journey of what IS. Finding out why someone over eats or why they punish themselves with bad food choices. 

 

    Once I tackled my depression the better food options came more naturally. It was still a lot of hard work but It is DEFINITELY the life for me. It helped with so much! My mental clarity, my heartburn went away, my anxiety lessened, I lost weight, I felt more alive. 

 

    But we all have times where we wish we could just eat like those tiny girls who never gain a pound when they smash junk food. Today is that day for me! So instead of making it about weight loss, bad food and wishing I was someone else for the day, I just simply made today a cheat day.

 

    I tend to get lost in the details of things. 

 

Why haven’t I LOST MORE weight?

Why is the scale staying the same after SO much hard work?

 

    The constant worry if I am doing enough to help my body is sometimes enough to harm my body. Let me explain!

 

    I get so lost in the, “What hasn’t happened yets!” or the “Will it ever changes?” that my mental health, clarity and focus becomes a foggy mess! I lose site of all the things I HAVE accomplished and all of the amazing work I have already done. 

 

    I am working on my ability to shut it all off and if for some reason you have a trick, please feel free to comment below or email me! I am ALWAYS looking for great suggestions! 

 

    Anyhow, I just ordered two medium sized pizzas! 

 

Chicken

Onion

Green Pepper

 

And 

 

Onion 

Bacon

Banana pepper

 

    Yep, planning to smash! My lack of a gallbladder says otherwise, but I am going to do my absolute best to put away some pizza! Since it IS cheat day after all! 

 

    I hope you find some form of joy in this day and always remember that the details are only as important as you make them!!

 

 

Keep hustlin’ 💪

 




XOXO

Cookie Era!

Image
  Listen, I’m in my cookie era! Here’s what I did! I made a double batch, scooped them and placed them on parchment paper to keep them separated. Placed them in freezer bags and then froze the second batch. That way I have chemical free cookies ready to take out of the freezer whenever I want and bake fresh! This way I can bake 2 if I want instead of making up a whole batch.

My Manic...

Image
     I have been stressing myself out lately about perfection. I can’t share anything I do unless I know it’s perfect. It’s probably going to give me an ulcer.       I decided today that I didn’t need perfection.      It’s not about that. I mean I’ve always known that but I am so unbelievably hard on myself that I allowed those feelings to creep in and attack my inner peace!        I haven’t felt that manic in about a year! So it was definitely something that I had to take care of right away! I almost forgot that my manic was an emotional response to stress.          I was being unappreciative of my own strengths, too hard on my personal weaknesses and turning a blind eye to my mental state.       I called it quits yesterday and decided to do absolutely nothing all day to let my brain rest and recover from my own abuse. Until inspiration hit and I decided to DOODLE.  ...

Ditch Kitty!

Image
  It’s been awhile since I’ve had an update on my little rescued ditch kitty! Sirius is thriving! he came to me at 1.5 pounds soaking wet and he’s up to 7.5 pounds now! Which is perfectly in line for his age! He’s all up to date on his vaccinations and he doesn’t have to go back for another year! (Unless he needs to!) His personality can only be described as wildly unpredictable and entertaining! His favorite things are wet food, cucumbers and pull tabs from my almond milk and playing nonstop!
