My family, except myself and my stepdaughter, are eating keto. I’m doing caloric restrictions via fasting. I’m almost back to my pre-COVID weight~! One of the things we’ve been working on is finding keto-friendly foods to replace some of the things everyone is craving. Keto food is pretty decent for me as well, because IContinue reading “Keto? Chaffles to the Rescue”

Realistic Resolutions
I took the owl doodles and threw them into my “resolution” list. I wasn’t planning to make a list, but during my therapy session, my therapist urged me to at least pick a few things to work towards this year. After a bit of contemplation, I think the above is a decent amount of goalsContinue reading “Realistic Resolutions”
Hibiscus Tea
I love hibiscus tea. It comes in close second behind black tea. As a Southerner, we end up drinking a ton of classic black tea in the sweet, iced form. I typically like hibiscus straight up, but I’m probably going to try the recipe from that image up above soon. Hibiscus is often the fillerContinue reading “Hibiscus Tea”
The “E” in PLEASE is Exercise!
We all know that physical health is important. Our doctors hammer that into our heads every time we visit. Health and fitness classes back in our grade school, high school, and even college days stressed on this matter. There’s so many physical and mental health benefits from getting regular exercise. It’s backed by decades ofContinue reading “The “E” in PLEASE is Exercise!”
Sleepless in Wherever
Tried the breathing exercise and some music tending exercises. Worked on meditation. Brain is running thousands of miles a minute. After tossing and turning and changing positions a hundred times, I gave up and decided to write this post. I’m going to be packing my step daughters lunch in a few hours. Splurged and gotContinue reading “Sleepless in Wherever”
Lazy Sunday
I had my SO wake me up early this morning so I could FINALLY satisfy my craving for pancakes. I made buttermilk ones. Really simple recipe. 2 cups self-rising flour, 2 1/4 cups buttermilk, splash of vanilla extract, 4 Tablespoons melted butter, dash of salt, 2 eggs, and 3 Tablespoons of sugar. Don’t overmix becauseContinue reading “Lazy Sunday”
Broken Down
I woke up this morning feeling horrible. I remembered one flaw to Intermittent Fasting. Low blood sugars. I had to break my fast and, guys, it broke me. I ate a peach and cried my eyes out. I haven’t been able to eat what I want due to conflicts in the kitchen. So I’ve beenContinue reading “Broken Down”
Some Bad Days
Trigger Warning: Brief mention of purging further into post. “Happiness is sand in your toes and a shell in your pocket.” I don’t have much happiness in my heart right now. Despite the DBT, I’m just feeling lower than I have in quite some time. I don’t have good ideas in my head and IContinue reading “Some Bad Days”
KARATE AT THE OLYMPICS~!!!
I nearly forgot that the karate portion of the Olympics was coming up. I’m so excited about this, I’ll definitely be tuning in when I can. Schedule is posted here. Trying to remember the time difference. There’s been some funny articles about karate being in the Olympics. It’s definitely not the Karate Kid movie guys.Continue reading “KARATE AT THE OLYMPICS~!!!”
Argh, I’m Hangry!
Featured image was pulled from this article. At this point, this is where my SO would say “Hello, Hangry, I’m Dad.” Because … bad Dad jokes. Starting back on Intermittent Fasting again. And it’s always a bit of a grouch fest for me when I first start. Especially if I don’t eat RIGHT at myContinue reading “Argh, I’m Hangry!”
