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

I don’t usually feel like I’m older. I have many days where I still think I’m like 17, maybe 20. However, less than 6 solid hours of sleep is all it takes to remind me that I’m over 30. I woke up happy, usually happens when I spend a night staying up late talking and… Continue reading Day 8

You ever have one of those days where you don’t wake up in a bad mood, but you aren’t really in a good mood either? Totally started my day like this. I have to say, while my DietBet has been amazing in the sense that it really kicked my butt into gear…. I bet money… Continue reading Day 7

Today felt like a Monday. Two snow days where we could get up as we pleased (or in my case when little people woke up) left me resenting my alarm clock. I was glad however that I decided foregoing my morning coffee was not something I wanted to make a regular part of my life.… Continue reading Day 6

Day 3 was a little bit of a mixed day for me. I did try to do some self care, but honestly didn’t feel as accomplished as I had on day 1 and day 2.  I did do self care, but it was also day 1 of going back on a restricted diet, and myself… Continue reading Day 3

I really wasn’t sure how day 2 was going to go. I woke up tired… never a good way to start off the day. In fact I actually started to write this last night, put my phone on my night stand just for a minute and fell asleep. My little ones have colds dio I’m… Continue reading Day 2

As I went to bed last night I was thinking of all the different ways I could start practicing self care over the next 30 days. I was excited at the thought but also trying to quiet the voice that was telling me this was a selfish and silly idea. As I woke up this… Continue reading Day one of self care

Have you ever felt like something was missing? Something that would make you a much happier, more effective human being? The missing piece of the puzzle to happiness. Today that something smacked me right in the face. I was out to lunch with my cousin and her son along with my children. We try to… Continue reading 30 Days of Me
