Day 4 – I make it hard on myself…

I had not had any vegetables by this point and quite frankly, everytime I got hungry, I thought about how much I should eat veggies and then just decided I’d rather starve.  I think I saw some show about a girl once who only ate french cries and literally cried when she ate other food.  I remember thinking “This girl is ridiculous.  Just eat a salad or a burger.” (Said the red head who is having a gag reflex for eating veggies.)

Day 3 – otherwise known as veggies are hell day…

So, here’s me being all accountable.  What a pretty plate!  I mean, colorful, veggies.  A nice shake.  It was good.  Not.  Today was the ‘If I hate to eat another damn vegetable, I’m going to throw up’ day and that was day 2 of veggies.  I’m so screwed.

Day 2 Review

I gotta tell you, this was my favorite meal so far!  Despite the small portion (read:  probably a normal portion for most humans), I was satisfied. Now, I chose that word because I wasn’t stuffed. . I felt good and I liked the food.  I felt comfortable with what I had eaten.  I didn’t have hunger pangs. 

My mom put me on Nutrisystem…(aka: The Beginning)

Sunday, I got up, ate as much bad food as I could because…what’s one more day?  (Don’t look at me like that, you do it too.) . I unpacked my box and my heart stopped.  Nutrisystem can’t pack.  I knew it.  This food was gonna be horrid.  Y’all, they put FROZEN stuff in the cardboard box.  I looked all over the box and could not find a ‘From Frozen’ direction or ‘Keep Refrigerated.’  Which concerned me.

Treading Water

You ever had those moments where you look at your schedule and wonder how in the world you’re making it all fit?  Yeah, me too. I recently read a book (well, morel like listened to an audio book, because I don’t have time to just ‘sit and read’) that talked about how we’ll never have […]

Graduation, Rainbows, and Pool Time!

Well, the last few weeks have been a catch up game!  A couple of weeks ago, we decided to start working on the pool.  We haven’t done much with it in the last couple of years since Elysha broke her leg and then we tried to get it done one year and got a massive […]

Memorial Day 2019

Memorial Day, 2019! One of the things we’ve started doing less of around Memorial Day is attending the typical BBQ festivities and using this holiday as an extra sleep in day.  We’ve been working pretty diligently to instill a sense of gratitude for what Armed Forces have done for us and this is another holiday […]

End of School!

It’s summertime y’all!  Schools out and I’ve never been happier! (Well, okay, maybe I’ve been happier, but this year was PHEW!) Our little guy is done with 2nd grade and managed over the year to read 124 books!  He’s so proud of his accomplishment that he put the Accelerated Reader paper on his desk in […]

All things April!

April has been an amazing month, so far!  Silas is branching out a little more every day and every day, we learn something new about his ADHD.  We’re working to figure out how he handles things day to day and learning how to adapt when things fail for him. ADHD is a hard battle if […]

All I want for (insert holiday name) is a clean house…

Let me be first to admit, this image isn’t my house – though mine looks this way OFTEN with kids.  I wish I had a Tidy House by Marie Kondo,  but if I’m honest, about the only thing that SPARKS JOY for me lately is the sound of trash bags opening and dumping stuff into […]
