So proud of myself for taking the first steps to getting back on track with my healthier lifestyle! Meal prepped for the week with minimal processed foods/simple carbs. Made soy/almond/oat milks and yogurts. Planned out daily activity levels. Let's do this!

So, I was good eating wise yesterday, but missed a workout already lol! In my defense, I was on the sofa with a debilitating migraine. So I did two today. I know that's not how it works, but it made me feel good! 16/8 fasting going good also! Using here to keep me accountable =D

The DASH mini maker machine things are a great tool for portion control! For desert, I made cheesecake bites with a crushed walmuts crust and natural sugar substitutes in the egg bite maker. They were nice and tiny! One satisfied and now I got three for another day. Yum!

Went of eating plan yesterday in a big way! Doing better today so there's that. Missed workout yesterday because I twisted my ankle and it got all sorts of swollen (Probably shouldn't have climbed that fence like I was a teen again ha!)So I did some strength training today.

Migraine!!! Fingers crossed they are seasonal or allergy induced because I do NOT want to have to go back on tricyclics (spelling?) again. Those things are miserable! Getting a quick cardio in before my head blows up! No food yet, feeling sick.

Okay meal prep done! Adjusted based on last week so should be good! Morning workout in already, and weekly activity schedule set with alternatives in case of conflicts or migraines. Doing good so far I think - let's keep it going!!!

Hit a block with meal planning/prep this week. So instead of cooking everything at once and making my own "tv dinner" style meals, I just cooked a bunch of proteins and stocked up on veggies so I can mix and match more! Let's see if this works =D

Meal prep or planning is paying off!!! Weight down, sleeping better, more energy. All this also makes my planned activity(ies) more enjoyable which cyclically brings me back to all the awesome benefits of tuning up my healthy lifestyle. It's a self-feeding loop!

Went out for my first run in a while! The weather is getting nicer and I'm getting back into running shape! Didn't match my best but I did my best! Now to nurse these aging knees haha! <3

Troopers are currently responding to multiple vehicles off the road on I-89 — SB in Enfield, NB in Sutton, and NB in New London. Please drive for current conditions and always #buckleup! Slow down and move over for first responders as they work to remove the vehicles. 🚔

I have posted this before but .. 26 years ago, a gunman entered Dunblane Primary School in Scotland, killing 16 kids and a teacher. The UK govt responded by enacting tight gun control legislation. In the 9400+ days since, there have been a total of O school shootings in the UK.

It. Is. Not. Mental. Health. Issues. IT. IS. A. GUN. ISSUE. NO ONE NEEDS ASSAULT RIFLES OUT SIDE OF THE MILITARY! How many CHILDREN have to be MURDERED before we FINALLY do something? My sons, all children DESERVE TO BE SAFE! Their RIGHT TO LIFE trumps your right to guns.

Also, I saw a news report on YT (from GA I believe), where the killer's sexuality and gender identity was named an "issue of concern". WHAT?! They stated the "youth are a generation confussed... that leads to violence like this..." I was speechless at the ridiculousness of this.

MA friends, please read and share!

Perfectly said, Mike. I dream of the day all guns are banned. But, I know that is not a reality to be seen any time soon. Can we all at least agree that assault weapons and high capacity magazines need to be gone NOW

UPDATE 2-Search operations around and off Castle Island are resuming for missing 4-year-old Mohemed Fofena (pictured). He was wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt, blue jeans, and blue footwear when last seen. Anyone who sees Mohemed or has info about him should call 911 immediately.

So weird - I never search my eye disease so that doesn't explain it. The last few weeks I've stumbled upon cookbooks, thriller fiction, craft patterns and even forums all related to RP and blindness. I'm going to take that as an awesome and inspiring coincidence!

How m I just now seeing Kyle Kinane's standup?! Where has this man been all my life? I'm in love

Falling asleep while listening to an Irish mystery audiobook leads to the most bizarre dreams!
