Made it one week on the Whole30 diet… no alcohol, processed food, sugar, dairy or legumes (really!). I’m tired, hungry and I don’t feel different. My husband meanwhile is losing weight like crazy just eating what I cook!
Here we go again!
i used to have one of these (but with 5 seats and pole was buried inthe ground) in my backyard growing up! I loved playing on it as did my friends. But as an adult i hate getting back on the diet merry go round! Here we go again…. Im trying the whole30 weight loss plan. 30 days no sugar, no processed foods, (carbs))no alcohol and no legumes (i can give up legumes-ha)
Great question – what happens after 30 days? I bought the book but i havent reached that chapter. I will let you know!
Paradise Found?
I’ve got the “move to the Caribbean bug” again! Maybe because its Jan 31, cold and dark, but I just don’t want to live in this climate anymore. My youngest will graduate high school next year and start college. I figure I’ll give him a couple years to get his feet set while I purge this house we have lived in for 20 years. This (picture below) is what I want to look at every morning while I have coffee not the pile of snow on a swing set that hasn’t been touched in 10 years. I’ve been doing research for the past year and all the sites warn that one must be clear about their reasons for moving before you go or you won’t be satisfied/fulfilled. I’m clear. I want to be warm. I miss the sun. 
I want to live to 120
Writing a blog is hard!
I hate to start with the conventional starts… I am a school teacher…
I am a mom of three… I am married… I live in Massachusetts.
I am all of those things but none of it really describes me.
I want to live to 120. I recently passed the 50 mark and it scared me. Am I at the half-way point? What’s the second half like? I don’t want to get old. I don’t want to get diseases and lose mobility or my senses. I want to experience more.
I want to lose weight. I have joined fitness programs and lost weight but it doesn’t last. I have gone on too many diets to list. I hate feeling unhealthy. I want to start a new career. I have been a lawyer, a stay-at-home mom and now a full time teacher at a public school. I just completed a program to become an administrator but is that really the change I want? I want to move out of cold Massachusetts. I want to live on the beach on an island. I want to make a change in the lives of the children I teach. I want to be a good role model for them and inspire them to make a difference. Are these desires at cross purposes?
Am I just afraid of death? Am I just afraid I have missed something?
Yesterday 45 refugees including 17 children died trying to cross from Turkey to Greece. A 3 year old got lost in Tennessee and died. My “wants” list seem so trite.
