Another New Beginning



Life certainly goes in cycles.   This is another example of that.  Here I am still working on some of the habits I have worked on for years.   I am tired of being in this cycle.  Yes I am improving each time.  However, I find that I am forgetting some of the nuggets of wisdom that I had and needing to learn it again and again.   It is time for me to break the cycle of learning and not completing.  So!   Here is my new beginning, again.    I have been in a program called Noom, working with a coach to figure things out.   You know, everytime I have a coach, I tend to tell them what I want and they hold me accountable...well mostly.  It is actually me that is holding myself as accountable as I want to be.   I check in, I follow through, when I want to.   It is time to truly be accountable to myself.   I have a list of items I am working on.   These things are simple.  Sleep, activity, phone usage.   I am not jumping into a huge change all at once, but instead, tackling one item, one week at a time.   That way I can make sure it works for me and integrate it slowly.  I have found in the past that if I jump in too quickly I crash and burn.   It is an all or nothing type of thing.  Especially when it comes to food.  It is time to be my own coach and finally put all my knowledge to work...no more figuring it out, no more looking to another program.  I have the knowledge just need the consistency.   So, here we go again at the beginning of the trail.  A trail I know partly.  A trail I've seen and started and restarted.  I know all the info, I know what to do.  Now is the time to do it!   I am far from perfect, however I am not giving up.   Failure is to not try again...I will not fail!   


Here's to all of us with our new beginnings!  What are you working on?

The beginning of a new part of life

I quit my job this week. It was a bittersweet moment. I have been wanting to be a stay at home mom for sometime now, and finally all the cards fell into place. In doing this a seed was planted. You see I would always take treats into work. I love to cook and bake and taking the food to work was one way of avoiding eating it all as I invariably would. I am going to have to work on that part, but to digress, I have always been asked for the recipes. So on my last day I promised to take the family cookbook in, but a coworker said why don't you just start a blog. I thought, why don't I? Now here I am. I hope you enjoy. I like to experiment, use food storage and just cook yummy things so hopefully you will find something you like here too.
