Well trying again to write a blog

I have a strong desire to write, yet I am afraid to start.  What if it is no good anyway?  Why bother? Well that's my inner brat talking to me, I don't know her name, but FlyLady let me know of her existence!

So I decided I was just a timer for 5 minutes...just 5 minutes...and blog.  So, I just turned the timer on and have my thinking cap on.

And about blogs....I mean....lots of people spend time writing and honing their writing, and I always thought that blogging was sorta off the cuff and on the spot.  I think I will Google blog and see what I get...brb...

 So I guess the term blog covers a wide variety of types.  Mine is a type of  online diary, so very informal.  Well that works for me for now. 

Been struggling with lots of things lately, losing weight, eating, work.  I feel like I am trying to swim up a water-fall.  What I need to do is turn around and go with the flow, not against.  Working thru it may help.  I may reach an epiphany while I am here.  Here's hoping.

I'm been trying to make a little but of extra money by selling baked goods...haven't really hit on the best one yet, but I have only tried tea buns and shortbread cookies.  Oh and home-made bread too. The ad on FB ( has only been up for a few hours.  I'm trying to find something that I can make cheaply, and quickly.  It doesn't make too much sense to spend hours and tons of time on something you really can't sell for a lot..baking...lol.  Maybe fudge?

Well there goes my timer.  If anyone reads this and has a suggestion of baking that you would buy, just to give me an idea of what people like and want, that would be so great if you would leave me a comment!

Thanks for reading.

All Married Up!

Wow it's been a while!

Got married last Sunday....still living a healthy lifestyle one day at a time...more to come!

TBL Tuesday

Been a few days since I have posted. Missed one breakfast on Sunday morning..I blame it on the time change! Had 3 social events in a row and I over indulged on all 3, although not nearly as much as I have in the past, so I am o.k. with that.

Been preparing my food the night before so I have enough healhy foods to get thru the day. I did great yesterday actually up until dessert....my birthday boy and I shared a piece of cheesecake...it was sooooooooooooo good!

Been doing good so far...but it's only 12:30pm! Had oatmeal for breakfast, then some Holy Crap with hemp milk. I have also eaten carrots and yellow pepper with humus. And of course, my trusty cuppa green tea...this time it is Lipton Green Tea Superfruit, Black Currant with Vanilla. Very tasty with a lil agave syrup.

5 workouts in so far this month, with 8 to go to make it a full month. I'd say I'm doing good mostly. Gotta keep the nutrition on track because I got the workouts covered!

I discovered a gluten free website today that I am hoping to get some help from.

Sorry but I cant seem to insert an url for some reason, so please just copy and paste!

The Biggest Loser is on tonight...some of those girls now weigh less than I do, but they still look pretty big. The one things that gets me is they never tell you how TALL the girls are. I mean I am 5'8" and when I was 225, not one could really tell, because I "carried it well". Now that I am 194 (as of this morning) people still have a hard time believing me about my number.

No gym for me today. My trainer Shelly kicked my ass yesterday, as she always does. If I was 20 years younger, I would workout everyday. Of course, if I was that young I wouldn't have a million other things to do and therefore would have time to workout every day...oh to be 21 again! And now the things I know now! Life would be so different!



Oh and 1/2 the gyms in the world would have this sign!
