Disappointed




Where do I even begin? I guess at the beginning,
that's where all stories start right?

As a young girl I never struggled with weight, it wasn’t until
my mid 20’s that weight became an issue and boy did it!
At my heaviest I was 245lbs. Back in 2015 I had
gastric sleeve surgery. I lost a little over 100lbs.
Then I suffered another loss, my mother in law died in 2017.
It wasn’t right away but I put on close to 20lbs by 2019.
Now between 2019 and as of September first 2020
I have gained even more weight making my weight gain 28lbs.
I am just a few pounds away from 180!

I am disgusted with myself and can’t believe I let this happen!
With the loss, no motivation and then covid hitting
it feels like it’s just been one issue after another.
The issues going on with my health don’t help either.
I need to make a change and I need to do it now!

I have decided no more excuses! I am getting straight
back into the gym as soon as possible,
I plan on walking every night in addition to that as
long as it’s not raining or snowing. I also had started IF Fasting
which I have not been doing.
The funny thing is I kinda do fast every day because
I don’t eat a lot but it would be considered a dirty fast
because I am drinking my calories. I can’t go back to IF
doing the 16:8 I have to do more so I am going to
be fasting 19-20 hours a day.

I created this blog to help others but I haven’t been helping myself.
I hope by pouring my heart out it will help others,
maybe we can keep each other accountable?
I would do another weight loss challenge but that
didn’t go over so well last time.

I am going to start doing a special “hump day” post.
On those days I am going to post a “hump day” meme.
I am hoping that you will post on that meme what
you are working on that week, whether it be exercising,
eating better, IF anything to help motivate someone else.
I will update as I try to make progress in my own life!

Fall Simmering Potpourri

I love the smell of fall, I even like fall itself.  I just don't like what follows... winter!  However I love walking in my home and smelling  the fall scents that are so warm and inviting. Making this simmering potpourri is extremely easy! What you'll need: Tangerine or orange peels Cloves Cinnamon sticks or ground cinnamon Vanilla extract Pumpkin pie spice Water Small crockpot, saucepan or tea kettle You can choose how much you want to put in  of what, there really is no magic amount. I normally put  in more of my favorite scents. If using a tea kettle  or a sauce pan keep in mind you will have to keep  adding water to it. If you use a crockpot you  will not have to keep adding water and you can keep  it on even when you're asleep. Some other ideas that you can add are: Apple juice (instead of water) Cranberries Nutmeg Anise (one of my favorites) Dried fruit Coffee beans Have you ever made a simmering potpourri pot?  What do you normal...
