    Gluten & Dairy Free Challenge – Days 26-30

    It is day 30 of the gluten and dairy free challenge – half way done! For these past 30 days it has been a struggle. At times it has seemed very doable, at others it has seemed over ambitious. Now that I am at day 30 I can now tell you, I do not want…

  • Gluten & Dairy Free Challenge – Days 20-25

    Gluten & Dairy Free Challenge – Days 20-25

    Well, it is day 25. I am almost half way through the challenge, and challenge it has been. To complete this challenge I am having to rethink how I approach my food habits. It is not just looking for foods that are gluten and dairy free but as I mentioned

  • Gluten & Dairy Free Challenge – Days 15-20

    Gluten & Dairy Free Challenge – Days 15-20

    This is day 20 of the gluten & dairy free challenge. I am now 1/3 of the way through. That is exciting to me – it means I only have 40 more days to go. You could say I am counting down. However, it is not just about how many days left

  • Gluten & Dairy Free Challenge – Days 11-15

    Gluten & Dairy Free Challenge – Days 11-15

    This may sound ridiculous considering I am only 15 days into this gluten and dairy free challenge but I miss my regular Chick Fil-a sandwich. For a person such as myself who visits at least twice a week, (most of the time more than that), adjusting to life without Chick Fil-a has been tough.

    It’s the Coldest Day of the Year!

    Happy coldest day of the year! Well, at least it’s close to it. January 18th is the last day the earth (in the northern hemisphere) gives off more energy than it retains. From here on it the earth will retain more energy from the sun than it radiates, thus a slow warming trend starts tomorrow.

    Gluten & Dairy Free Challenge – Days 5-10

    Wow, I am already at day 10. I still have 50 days to go but I am almost 20% through my first challenge. Going both gluten and dairy free when I have been used to both is a challenge. It takes dedication and more importantly planning. Slowly but surely I am accomplishing this challenge.

  • Being SAD During the Winter Months

    Being SAD During the Winter Months

    The past few years I have found it hard to stay motivated during the winter months. With the cold days and long nights I find it hard to stay focused on the tasks I need to complete. A lot of times what should take only a few hours end up taking

    Gluten & Dairy Free Challenge – Days 1-5

    It is always a pleasure to start the New Year with a head cold. The stuffiness, being groggy and having an overall desire to do nothing is exactly how I like to begin new challenges. That being said with loads of sarcasm starting the first 60 day challenge

  • A New Year With New Goals

    A New Year With New Goals

    Happy New Year! I hope 2017 was a good year for you and 2018 is even better. And if 2017 was a tough year my hopes and prayers for you for 2018 are good things, long lasting good things.

    Merry Christmas!

    Merry Christmas and happy holidays everyone! I hope you all have a great Christmas. Enjoy time with the family (even if you don’t like them), enjoy all kinds of food and most of all live an appreciative life full of wonder and contentment.
