well ...here I am again.....

HI everyone !!!

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile...been kinda busy lately with life in general ...ANYWAY haven't made anything new and exciting lately BUT next week I will trying something NEW and EXCITING !!! Not gonna give it away just yet....hehe.....but I am awaiting something in the mail and hopefully by next weekend (May 8th) I will be making something I have NEVER had before and I will be sharing it here with you !!! So keep checking back !!!!

OK now as to how I am feeling -- I feel GREAT WONDERFUL and just SUPER FANTASTIC !!! I have now totally given up all diet soda no more nutrasweet crap or Splenda!!  WOW what a difference in the way I feel !!! I would have to say the pain I have been experiencing has been almost 100% because of that !! (not including my knee issue due to knee cap not riding properly) HOWEVER the all over body pain is almost ALL GONE !!! am hoping after all the garbage has been released from my body it will all be gone!!! AMAZING !!!!!! Talk about a mood lifter!!!! sheesh I was so depressed and touchy about stuff due to the pain I was in all the time...and NOW after a long day at work I felt like I could still hike a mountain !!! now that is AMAZING !!!! ( even more amazing considering how I sleep awful with insomnia and I STILL have energy!!)

I have no idea if I have lost weight cause my scale broke (it wasn't a good scale) but I don't think I have lost much if any but I don't think I have gained anything...I haven't been totally on my transition diet as of late but with my health improving in spite of my falling off the wagon habit lol I am feeling extra empowered !!!! I think I will be able to soon add some exercise!! (just have to be careful of exercise induced asthma) but inhaler in hand I will persevere !! hahaha...I am thinking of just starting with some dogs walks with my dogs (remember I have 5 of them!! so that will keep me walking ALOT haha) and some stretching...in order to get some flexibility back plus maybe some sit ups to tighten my stomach and help my back pain...I have been "walking around" my store where I work ,doing "laps" up and down the isle in between customers when I can just to add SOME exercise in my daily routine...

I am still getting more fruit and veggies in my diet ...and am not eating a bunch of junk at night...As a matter of fact tomorrow am making some almond milk so I can make some of that SUPER YUMMY ice cream I LOVE so much!! I do need to find something different for breakfast as smoothies don't seem to work as a regular thing for me...I don't want that sort of "food" for breakfast - I normally am not a breakfast eater and smoothies seem a bit too "sweet" in morning....eating actually fruit like a banana is ok but doesn't stick with me long and seems to actually MAKE me feel hungry - I know I am weird haha.....Oh Kyle (my son) made some dehydrated fruits -- some were good some were not...by the way dehydrated watermelon is really good and so is Kiwi...We are gonna try making some fruit leathers too maybe this weekend - if I do will post some pictures!
