Self Care Sunday: Saint George Island!

September 6, 2020.Reading time 4 minutes.

We actually went on Saturday, but the post is today. Part of self care is spending time doing things you love with people you love.

March 19, 2020.Reading time 5 minutes.

Updated 4/1/2021: 1 year after Covid and we are still in difficult times. In these new, and difficult times of social distancing and staying home, it can sometimes seem like there is not much to be grateful for. If you are sick, or someone you know is sick, maybe got laid off, or are afraid […]

The zero point food challenge has ended! June 17, 2021
Happy Thursday! Today was another super busy and unusual day. Then my internet went out around 2 PM and just came back on. I hate it when that happens, especially when I have not done my internet work yet. Anyway, I have decided to end the Zero Point Food Challenge today, instead of Tuesday. Continue [...]

20 minute Distance reiki sessions for stress management, relaxation, healing energy June 16, 2021
I am finally getting to updating my Wellness Plans. As I had mentioned in May I am focusing more on the Wellness part of my Health Coaching certificate, rather than one on one coaching sessions.

Welcome to day 6 of my Zero Point Food/Very Low Fat Challenge. Now that I am 6 days in I am finding it quite easy to follow the food modifications without feeling like I am dieting. Being prepared by shopping for lower fat items, meal planning, and meal prep are vital to keep this on [...]

Happy Sunday! Before I start talking about the challenge I would like to do a little update. My right shoulder is healing nicely, and I see Ortho again this week. I will probably still have to be on light duty at work, but I could swim today when I was in the pool, so that [...]

day 4 Zero Points/Very Low fat food challenge! June 12, 2021
If you read yesterday’s post then you know that I had to take a 24 hour break from the challenge to assess why I was bloated, gassy, and had much abdominal pain. I suspected it was the sugar substitutes and possible phosphorus additives in the low fat, and or sugar free items I had been [...]

Taking a one day pause from the zero point food challenge June 11, 2021
Today, I am taking a pause from the challenge. I am experiencing some GI upset, most likely from the fat free, and sugar free food items I have been eating. I have said this before when they remove fat from foods, they have to add other things to make it taste good and these things [...]

Day 3 zero point food/very low fat food challenge June 10, 2021
This is hard, lol! I have figured up everything I have, and will eat for today. I need at least 20 more grams of protein without adding fat, salt, or sugar to the daily count. Good grief! Since it is a work day I will hope they have something appropriate at work. They allow us [...]
