Grateful Sunday...






    Today was just a boring, relaxing day at home. For the first time in weeks I did absolutely nothing, including, “running to the grocery store.”

 

    I DID however do another 3 mile bike ride! That was nice! I don’t consider exercise as doing anything or going anywhere. Because even though I DREAD doing it, when I finish I am mostly dead but I feel so GREAT! It helps me get out of my head and focus on something other than all of my problems for awhile. This is totally new for me! I would have NEVER used exercise as my escape, I would have used food. 

 

    My mindset is so different than it was a year ago. My soul is different, my heart is different, my everything is different. 

 

    Even though my depression is trying to attack my very core right now, I am still so grateful of where I am today. For an entire year I fought for mental clarity, mental peace, weight loss, adventure, mindfulness and everything in between! 

 

    I fought to be here. I fought for this life that I am finally LIVING! 

 

    Anyway, I am going to relax some more and drone out to mindless television and cozy up with some blankets since I keep my house colder than Antarctica. I mean who could blame me?! It’s been nearly 100 degrees everyday! 

 

 

    Have a great Sunday! 

 

 

XOXO

Cookie Era!

  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.

Adult Money...

Image
Having access to adult money is ridiculous sometimes! Gets notification: “Your TV will be delivered Saturday!” Gets another notification: “Your remaining packages will be being delivered several a day until Christmas” Like okay, Siri! Thanks for reminding me of my inability to stick to the budget I created each week! I go over it by an offensive amount each week! I should know by now that I can't even follow my own rules.  If you're good at this kind of stuff, I applaud you!  XOXO  Also, thanks for selling me out, SIRI- you bitch!

What would you tell your former self if you had the chance?

So yesterday was all about confessions and today I am going to talk about what I wish I knew back then that I know now.   I have always thought the world was out to get me. If not the world, the people in my world. I haven ’t always had the easiest time and I have had some hard shit happen in my life; but who hasn’t?    Here’s a list of some of the things I've dealt with: 1.  Being an overweight child 2.  Having undiagnosed anxiety 3.  Being bullied 4.  Having literally no self confidence  5.  Being completely introverted   And h ere are the things I wish I could have said to myself back then :   Bullies:    It’s hard to even describe what it’s like to be bullied. Unless you’ve been there you just don’t know. My parents always made sure I had nice, name brand clothes and that I had anything I ever needed. But it didn’t matter, people couldn’t get over my size long enough to see that I had a good personality. And eventually...
