These posts are more for me to keep track on myself. I had a slight headache from sugar/caffeine detox and went to bed at 9pm last night because of it. I did not work out, but since I’ve put my body in such a high state of stress by my eating habits, I detoxed some of the negative energy  by snuggling with my kids.

Another Day One

Accountability for the average.

If this blog were a movie, it starts in the middle. That’s where I hope I am. Slowly, I will unravel and reveal my past. Slowly, I will seek to re-shape a better future. To summarize, I spent 2 years losing 60 pounds and toning my body, only to gain 40 pounds back and struggle to stop from gaining more. This resulted in a see-saw effect.

I’ve been losing and gaining 10-15 pounds for the past 2 years and it is exhausting. So, I’m combining my love of writing with my desire to connect with others who may enjoy what insight I have to offer.

Today is another day. It’s a fresh start – another day one.
