Almost 20 lbs down!

By -

So today's blog is probably going to be a short one considering my last week was pretty intense with work. I took the week off from streaming to focus on the documentary I was transcribing and to make time for the nephew since he came out to visit. I had a lovely time with my nephew and so glad I took that time to spend with him. He's 18 months now and he's growing so fast. It's crazy how spending time with this kid is so fulfilling, he's part of the reason I'm ok not having kids. I seriously love this kid so so so very much. I know that I am not a parent but I am a pseudo parent as an aunt and not just any aunt I'm an active one. If I can be half as good as my aunt was I'll be a good aunt. I remember going and doing all the things with Aunt Brenda. She nurtured the creativity in me, she was one of the people who gave me my love of films and the movie making process. She was herself an amazing photographer. She loved life and lived it to the fullest and I want to be just like her. I want to go and spend time with my nephew and take him places and teach him things and nurture those things that he loves. It takes a village to raise a child and even though our village is now all over the country we're still very much involved in each others' lives almost to a fault but I'm so very grateful for such a loving family.

On a health note; today as you know is my weigh in day and I've lost another 2 lbs. I am officially 2 lbs from losing 20 total since starting Keto and I feel great! Yesterday I woke up with a massive migraine and no appetite; not sure what was going on but I felt awful yesterday so the second day back of streaming I had to cancel. I hate when that happens but I feel much better today aside from the random cough I got over the weekend. It's quite annoying actually. I keep having to take cough medicine and cough drops throughout the day. Why do coughs last so long??? Anyway, like I said this is a short post this week there are a lot of things happening for us but I can't talk about them just yet so you'll have to hold on to that tease.

So how were ya'll's weeks? I hope you've had a good week over the July 4th holiday if you're American. I'm also curious if you would like to see more work related posts like reviews and information geared towards games and films? Let me know!

Scheduling and the Benefits of Having One

     Helloooooo so yeah its been quite some time since I last posted and to be honest I've been really focused on trying to get my work organized. I suffer from poor time management and just poor management in general. I think the last time I posted was sometime in February and as stated then we were going through a lot of crappiness financially and while that has all been resolved we're still recovering from it and trying to get back to saving as well as catching up on certain bills. Life, eh? Needless to say we've been very blessed but very stressed. It has been pretty nice to be back to eating healthier and I'm even doing yoga once a week regularly. I'm about to add another day to do yoga b/c it just feels so good, I love how yoga makes me feel afterwards. It's done quite well as a stream on Monday mornings and that makes me so happy! My mind is kind of all over the place because I want to talk about a lot of things but I think I'll narrow my focus to t...

   Happy New Year! It is officially 2019 and it is a perfect time to reflect on this past year and look at goals for the next I mean that's what we do at this time of year right? Well, I'm certainly going to do that because a lot has happened in the last few months and I have so much planned for this year so yes I'd like to take a moment to reflect. I need to give you all an update on what has been going on considering I have been unable to really blog as intended since we moved anyway.    So let's start with the blog. I am very proud of the fact that I kept up with it regularly, sometimes I was a day late and some where shorter than others but I'm really happy with my progress and I plan on going forward with the same schedule, once a week on Wednesdays. I want to take this time to thank my readers for being patient as Ron and I move and get settled into our new life it has certainly been a chaotic time in our lives. Going forward with the blog I want to get ...

New Year Same Me

HAPPY NEW YEAR! At least that's what we say at the beginning of a new year. A lot of people around this time of year are depressed because they just went through the holiday season and were either extremely high from all the excitement and happiness and now that is starting to die down and winter is setting in or they were unable to do anything for the holidays and have just had that extra time to sit and be lonely. Either way going into a new year is rough for many many people and it is really really easy to fall into that winter depression because what is the next huge commercial holiday? That's right it's Valentine's day and you all know how I feel about that particular one. The reason I bring this up is because I personally believe a lot of the problem is this whole new year's resolution bull hockey. Resolution to me is such a finite word and has developed into this pretty negative force that puts so much pressure on people therefore resulting in an awful ...
