Since I'm putting negative things, and negative people behind me, its time to get my head back into the mindset I'd rather be in, time to use my energy in positive things.
In December and January timeframe I had spoke about doing weight loss surgery, well I didn't. Not saying I wont ever, but right now isn't the time, I'm not doing any crash diets, but small gradual changes in food preparation, meal planning, portion sizes, being mindful of what goes into my body. Now its not a huge loss like I would have seen with surgery but since March timeframe I've lost about 17lbs. I'm happy, I'm content knowing I am getting healthier. My next goals are to get more active and to work on my water intake. Small changes seem to work better for me so I'm staying with what works.
My mood has been better with my boys, we still have bad days but were dealing with meltdowns and getting thru them. They are still doing school, though we have been on a 2 week break. I'm met with more willingness and less resistance, I love it!
I'm slowly working on better menu planning, more homemade food, more bulk cooking, purging things from our home and keeping only what we need and use, and finding contentment with simpler things. I feel wonderful and plan to continue. I hope to be paying off debt in a big way soon and living debt free. Life is about more than what you have, wear, or drive, I don't need these things to feel good about myself. Also working on lowering bills, and conserving energy, protecting earth one kilowatt and 1 can recycled at a time. Yes I admit it, I'm a tree hugging hippy, and if you call me that ill take it as a compliment.
Peace-love-and stress less
