Hi everyone,

I’ve been MIA for several weeks (over a month?) and it is no good! I had my blood drawn for my annual labs last week and when I went back online to review old results, I found I could not find ANY VITAMIN TESTING since 2011.  I get the results tomorrow and I am really scared about the results. I take Celebrate vitamins but recently…[Read more]

Hi!!  Yes, I did it! I’m so happy I had/made the time to breathe and eat during the day. It really helped my energy levels stay more even and make better choices.

I already booked mealtimes for next week!

THANK YOU!

I can do this! Just sent my alarm to head to bed at 9:30pm!

Just a note, I’ll be “offline” Friday through Monday as I celebrate my 40th in San Francisco w/my best friend of 26 years! I’m not bringing my computer and hope to stay off my phone as much as possible (other than taking pictures of our adventures together!). The whole weekend is a…[Read more]

<span style=”-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);”>No walk tonight 🙁 Got home from work just now (9pm) and it is dark. Have a walk planned for tomorrow night. </span>

Yes! Hope that migraine is gone!

I like the idea of taking a leisure walk tonight and will do so after work (and after the sun goes down!) tonight.

Thank you!

Does it count if I took 3 showers today??? One at wake up, one post walk and one post baseball game?

i’m relaxed and clean 🙂

I love this!! I truly believe that when we put positive messaging in our lives and we read it (even passively, without being conscious of it), it gets inside our brains and creates positive pathways!

Mine are:

Is this self-sabotage? You can do different!

I make it through

I AM ENOUGH!

I knocked this one out of the park! I decided to make it an entire self-care/whatever I want kind of day! Got a haircut, read a book while the color sat on my head and then scooped up a friend for a mani/pedi. Tonight had a great dinner and movie (The Big Sick–so so good!!) with another close friend tonight to celebrate our upcoming birthdays.…[Read more]
