Share five things you’re good at. Decorating / Art. Cooking. Being on time or early. Speaking. I’m far better at speaking than writing. 🤣 Helping people without telling others. Sometimes even anonymously.

Are you more of a night or morning person? Both, kind of? We don’t wake up super early. We get up at 7. Norah’s school starts around 8:15 and it’s right up the road from us. Gage goes in close to 9. I’m pretty productive in the mornings. I get a lot of energy naturally…

Lunch!
558 Calories and 35 grams of protein.👍🏼 One carb counter wrap filled with romaine, reduced fat cheddar (no added hormones), 1 tbsp light sour cream with a sprinkle of ranch powder. 4 Perdue Lightly Breaded No Hormone organic nuggets. Only ate about 3/4 of the wrap. I’ve started getting full very easily. I had a…

Great Deal..
I broke my Tory Burch watch band and needed a few cheap ones to use until I get it repaired. I snagged all 4 of these Apple Watch bands for 8$ on Amazon. I already had a gold case, so that doesn’t come with them. Just wanted to share! I figured I’d try them for…

Doing the Thing
Well, my bloodwork doesn’t indicate that I have autoimmune, so there’s either something going on we haven’t yet discovered or my b12 and D being that low simply wreaked havoc on my body. You can get rashes from low B12 but it’s more likely related to hormones or a food allergy, so I am still…

Sunday Thoughts…
Being sad and dark is the easiest, laziest, and most effortless thing a human can be. It’s our human nature to be more dark than light. The Bible talks about this a lot. There is just nothing unique or different about being emotional, dark and sad all the time. It’s not mysterious, weird or cool.…

Eating Out..
I’m having to really use my brain when we’re out and about and eating. Today around 12, we picked up Chick-fil-A on our way home. I got a wrap AND 12 nuggets. No fries or drink. (I skipped breakfast). I used one Polynesian sauce, one honey roasted bbq sauce and their fat-free honey mustard dressing…

Do you or your family make any special dishes for the holidays? Oh yeah! Gary usually does his amazing Rib-eyes on Christmas and this year he made a Turkey for Thanksgiving. He also makes the best spiraled stuffed potatoes! He’s become a really good cook through the years. Gary’s Mom always does her bacon smothered…

I cannot explain how great I feel when I do this. Baking Soda is sooooo much better than Epsom Salt, but here’s the way to do it, per most holistic doctors. Only do this like once a month because you will be soaking almost and hour. Get your bath as hot as you can stand…

Taco Bell Order
Veggie Bowl I added 1/2 cup of chopped turkey at home. You can get the chicken bowl there, but it’s loaded with sodium. 460 calories and a whopping 34g of protein!!

Happy Thanksgiving
We had such a low key Thanksgiving. It was just what we needed. Gary and I cooked a good meal and did a little decorating. The kids watched the Macy’s Parade and Peanuts Thanksgiving on Apple+. Gage has a bad cold but we had a sweet little family day. We’re all piled in our bed…

The last of the pumpkins!
We thawed this old girl out from the freezer today. I sure wish I could eat it! Hopefully I can have a slice in a few weeks 🙂

Hello Monday
I think I just finished my Christmas shopping. Yay!! Gary’s having to do some kind of testing today, so that gave he some quiet time to knock it out. My kids were pretty straight forward with their lists this year. Gage wanted a faster gaming PC and Harper wanted to upgrade to the MetaQuest 3S.…

The Good Stuff
Just so many benefits. I’m trying really hard to love my body and gut right now. This is the stuff. A quick protein boost too. In addition to diet, I have also started supplementing. I haven’t ever gotten into supplements besides a daily vitamin, but I’ve added: Quercetin & Bromelain Rhodiola Calcium Citrate D3 Magnesium…

High Protein Anti-Inflammatory
Eating in a caloric deficit is a goal, but I can’t say that it’s helping with my energy levels. Eating out is going to be really difficult. I may have to take food with me when we’re out and about. My doctor said the diet is so strict that a lot of people only follow…

Saturday
Flushing is down this morning. Yesterday I had red flushing on my neck and under my chin pretty badly. I’ve started the Elimination Phase of the AIP per my doctor. (Autoimmune Protocol) It is incredibly strict. Grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, nightshade vegetables, eggs, and dairy are completely avoided as well as Tobacco, alcohol, coffee, all oils,…

Beach or mountains? Which do you prefer? Why? Well, I live 10 miles from Pensacola Beach, so I will say beach, but I do love both. 🤍 I could adjust to either. I have very much acclimated to Florida climate though.. so cold temps feel colder than they used to. I hardly even break a…

Stuffed Cubanelle!
Cubanelle peppers are one of my favorites. I usually like to cut the top off and stuff them so I can egg wash them and fry them, but here’s my healthier take. Split them horizontally, remove seeds and fill with a few spoonfuls of cottage cheese, cream cheese and ranch seasoning. Cover with gluten-free breadcrumbs.…

Strange
I walked into my garage today and I noticed a box sitting out there. It was this Prismacolor set. I have no idea where it came from. I have tons of prismacolors, so I didn’t buy it. I have no idea, but I’m going to gift it to someone for Christmas. It did kinda give…

My biggest responsibility and most important job. Gage woke up so grumpy today. 😄 He reminds me a lot of my brother sometimes. He’s sweeter than Jay was at that age, but he’s got a little bit of a pessimistic way about him. I can see that he struggles with it. That’s okay, he is…

Low Histamine Meals
A few meals I’ve had over the last 2 weeks. I know everyone’s tolerance is different and I’m finding out what mine are, but there are ways to do it and you can eat really well! I already feel better by just lowering the amount of processed food I’m eating. Real food just feels better.…

Making Changes
Switching a few things to lower my histamine and just make better choices. I’m officially down 14 lbs since last Saturday which is wild. I’m all about losing weight so I’m glad for that, but I’m thinking inflammation and water was a lot of it, but regardless of if this continues to be an issue…

So far I’m not minding this low histamine stuff. I love oatmeal with maple syrup and blueberries. I took a nap early and Gary had made me grilled lemon pepper chicken thighs too. I married the perfect man. 🤍

What book are you reading right now? My Bible and Philosophical Thoughts by C.S. Lewis. I truly believe that any negative thinking or battlefields in our minds can be conquered by 4 things: 1. The Bible 2. Prayer 3. A C.S. Lewis Book 4. ANY Billy Graham Classic Sermon Great Books I’ve read recently: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️…

Whew!
This past week has been heavy. A very tragic death in the family from a very public figure. My poor cousin Ashleigh has been through so much in her young life. She lost her first husband in a tragic accident too, so I cannot even imagine. I also had a sweet friend get a terrible…

Daily Writing Prompt
What was your favorite subject in school? Hmmm… I can’t really choose just one.. I guess History or Geography. I think it varied year to year depending on the teacher sometimes. I think the funnest class I ever had was Spanish. I can’t say that I can speak much more than a few words and…

I don’t. 🤷🏼♀️
How do you manage screen time for yourself? I don’t really… I’m a fairly productive person so I usually can balance it. I have times I’m lazy and I stay on my phone too long, but I don’t generally have to manage myself. Yesterday I was online a LOT, but I was checking the election…
