252.2 Happy Sunday. Despite my foolish behavior the scale isn’t screaming at me…. I want to be mad at myself but I’m trying to offer Mehr something I’ve struggled with my whole life….grace. I tend to offer it to everyone else… time to give a little to myself. Groceries are needed and instacart to the… Continue reading Day 6 Sugar Reduction
252.6 Is it too soon to use some explicit language yet? Not feeling this today. I woke up and could not get to the coffee pot fast enough. Not because I needed the caffeine but because I wanted my hit of sugar. I looked down at my dwindling supply and wondered how I’m going to… Continue reading Day 4 sugar reduction
It’s the night before your 16th birthday. At this time 16 years ago I was at the hospital waiting for your arrival. I was as prepared as any 19 year old could be.

God gave them to you for a reason. I agree. God makes no mistakes and you were given those children for a reason. However… Continue reading Here is a different perspective

Fast forward to today, I now… Continue reading When you think you’ve hit your breaking point
One month ago I decided to take on a challenge. It was a challenge very different than any I’ve taken on before. I’ve done things to save money, save time, etc …. but I’ve never done one that focuses on myself. I decided over the course of 30 days to practice better self care, and… Continue reading So how did my 30 days go
Oh Monday. I have a love hate relationship with Mondays. I love all the things we do during the week, but I also miss having a few days to get up as we please, or in my case as my small children wake me up. Still more pleasant than an alarm waking me. Monday if… Continue reading Day 10
Today was the day, the day I would test my willpower. Could I conquer chocolate cake? I suppose if this was my biggest challenge of the day life was ok right? I decided I needed a game plan, because I am weak to sugar. Sugar and I go way way back. It’s been my best… Continue reading Day 9
