update on my moon launch. The rocket never made it to the moon. So sad. Yogurt, cheese and fermentation were all a disaster. So I went out spent $10 and bought delicious product already made. I like the adaptogen recipes in her moon juice cookbook and the juices. Actually the crackers are good too. But it is once again a stepping stone into my new adventure. Raw food. Now that I have the dehydrator and tons of supplies I am good to go. It is still basically eating lots of raw fruits and veg which I already do. But you also can "cook" crackers, cookies, and other delectables by dehydrating them at 105-118 degrees. It keeps the enzymes in food alive. It is at this point a very small step into this new direction. Maybe shoot for 80-90% in New Year. I bought a few more books from thrift.com from Ani Phyo.
I have also decided to start using "green" cleaners for the home. I found an online source and received a nice box of supplies last week.
Now I just need home time to get things organized in my pantry. And my life. Especially with a new job possibility looming in the New Year. It will be more hours. But more money. I will confess my embarrassment of having spent way too much money on my moon supplies. Molly has cut me off from Amazon.com. Waaah. Okay...I will just go make more money. lol. but good budget stuff is also on my upcoming to do list. I want so much to be perfect at all of it right now! I have such good days then...blahhhhh.
today is day 52 of straight days of yoga. Has anyone else been on track with their December yoga commitment?
Breathe everyone...this is a time for joy and blessings...right???
I have thought about this last night. What do we see when we look around us? Our coworkers, fellow shoppers, family members??? Even characters on tv shows. I saw a picture of Katie Holmes and Jamie Fox. They were laughing and so connected and full of joy. How often do we see joy and happiness depicted in our lives? I wonder what would it take for us to spring out of bed each morning excited to start your day? Just wondering what that would involve. I get pretty fired up and passionate about too many things. Trying to find the balance. Maybe in the New Year?

I’m very happy I was even a pound lower 2 days ago but that was my sickness. I felt miserable from wed night til last night and ate about 1000 cal a day then.
Much better now, I will wait another day to give my body more rest but I’m starting to work out and jog tomorrow:)

Happy Saturday everyone. I think I’m almost ready for Christmas. All the gifts are wrapped and most of the shopping is done. I have 2 sons aged 26 and 29. They spend Christmas Eve at my house and they don’t like me to put the gifts under the tree under after they have gone to bed - just like when they were little!! A couple of years ago I put the gifts out ahead of time and they were disappointed!! So if it makes Christmas a little more magical for them, I set my alarm really early and sneak the presents under the tree. One of them has a girlfriend he is bringing so I’m going to do the same for her!!!5

My Christmas Eve celebration is on hold. Hubby has been sick for a few days, staying in bed mostly and not eating. My kids have been informed and don't really want to come around the illness (possible pneumonia the doctor said) and I don't blame them. He is better today after taking Rx meds but not back to normal. We may end up at my daughter's house Monday or Tuesday.
I have not been keeping up with the exercises on the Advent Calendar. I have been eating light - cooking a few things I like that he doesn't. Still getting in a lot of steps daily though and was down a pound yesterday.5 -

@lenka1 nice Christmas present!!! I know you have been sick but u still worked for it. Congrats!!!
@lennoncpa that’s so sweet. They are still your baby boys. I love it!
@pacsnc6 so sorry to hear about hubby. Lots of people have been down. Hope you stay healthy. Glad ur making good meals taking care of u as well.
@amsandos a very respectable day! Good job
I was sharing my joy thoughts w Molly. She said “Skylynn wakes up like that!” It’s so true and so cute. Our 9 year old granddaughter wakes up chirping w the birds. She is daily full of joy and excitement about all that life has to offer. So precious to have beautiful children as our role models.3 -

Survived the Winter Solstice party last night. Phew. Done with social engagements until New Year's eve. Going out for sushi tonight. Because of hubby's job we weren't able to be home for Christmas last year. Super excited to be able to spend it at home this year. Family and friends are all doing their own thing. Looking forward to a few quiet days just the dogs and hubby. Let it snow, let it snow... let it snow!!4 -
Making 8 different goodies for Christmas. Including dog treats. I know I'll have some, but ONLy if included into my calories and I plan to gift them all away. Some may end up st the house for others that I live with, but don't want a whole lot around me for temptation! If I can have a few and include them into my calories that's a big difference from shoving as many in my hands as I could and scurrying to my room. I'm gonna try to be strong here! I love giving, so hopefully that helps me GIVE them all away!4

I love the photo challenge too! Starts tomorrow!
@kirsten11872 nice loss! Looks like you are back on track!
@Mrsbell8well I am sorry the moon launch didn’t go as planned but I am happy you could buy what you needed at least. Lol about Amazon! Maybe the moon supplies will work better in the warmer weather? This was the first year that I was able to relax and enjoy the holiday season and go to the shore. Although it was crappy weather it was fun. I will be crazy the next two days but this was a new thing for me.
@lenka1 nice loss! And amazing steps as usual! I am glad you are feeling better! That dinner looks so good! I love the rice! Where do you live in Pa? I live in Delaware County. The suburbs of Philly. Our shore house is in Sea Isle
@lennoncpa I love that your son’s still feel that way! It shows how important all those traditions you started still are to them! Hugs!
@Pacsnc6 oh no! Hope your husband is feeling better soon. Sounds like you are doing the best you can with the circumstances! Hang in there!
@amsandos Wtg!! Getting back on track! Feels good doesn’t it!
@nstephenson01 I know you cherish the time with your husband being home so your holiday plans sound perfect!
@cassiegetsfit2013 why do I get the impression that you are a pretty good cook and Baker? Sounds like a good plan. Definitely enjoy some but don’t eat mindlessly. It’s so easy to be tempted. Nice to hear you checking in4 -

Uhhh, maybe I am? I don't know, lol. I do get compliments on my cooking and baking. With my depression I had given up on cooking a lot and wasn't really making anything at all. Have slowly been getting back in there, cooking more, really would love to get more organized and find some new recipes to try out. I usually make Christmas goodies each year and well, I did for Halloween to. It feels good seeing people eat what I've made and really enjoy it. I've always been quite the people pleaser, which I guess has been good and bad since I let people use me and wall on me quite a bit. Lol. I've made 3 things so far and haven't put anything in my mouth. With tomorrow being weigh in day, don't wanna start having anything yet!

Our house is all set for the Christmas party today. We only need to cook a few things and everyone else is bringing a dish. There will be to much food. I am not going to track today. With the new year I have decided I am going to start, yet again, a search for a cause for my pain. I am reading how food can change your pain. I am going to try and change the way I eat. The problem is I am so fatigued that i honestly don't know how I am going to do it. I am also going to search for a new doctor once again. A functional medicine doctor. I scared about this because every time over the last 9 years I have searched for an answer I have been disappointed. And a whole lot more broke. But the pain has been steadily getting worse over the last month. If it keeps progress at the rate it has been, soon I won't be able to move. I think I will start from square one. The last time I had xrays or mri's of my body was years ago. Maybe something has changed that has heightened my pain.
@phoebe112476 i am so proud of you. look at the hard work you have accomplished. that is amazing. keep up the good work.
@sleepymom5 I am glad you are learning to enjoy yourself without over eating. it is posible and can be enjoyable. Yay! nsv!! and i love your tips. I will be drinking my water and working the crowd at my house today as Jims family invades my living space!
@Mrsbell8well thank. @sleepymom5 and i thought that it wouldn't be to much work being it is christmas and all. So i hope everyone has a little fun with it and shares a little of their personality with us. you are doing exactly what i think i should start doing. i am reading so much about the health of my cells and giving my cells the power to fight for me. i wish you were here to help me. this sure is going to difficult with just me alone. i am soooo tired. it is so funny. jim said no more amazon too. lol. maybe! my yoga commitment stopped when my pain increased. I know they say yoga helps but it hurt so i stopped.
@kirsten11872 now you are showing me. that is almost two pounds. now we will get done with christmas and start the new year strong! good job.
@lenka1 omg! 2 pounds down. wooooo whooo doing the happy dance with my dog. (he thinks I'm nuts) In the 140's. that is great. and that plate looks sooo good. I want some! I love duck!
@lennoncpa Phew, you almost ready! good job. I love your family tradition. it is so nice to see the smiles on our childrens faces even when they are adults.
@pacsnc6 ohhhh nooo sick for christmas. i am sorry. I had pneumonia one year for christmas. not a nice way to be. hope his christmas present is good health. you take care too.
@amsandos it is hard getting back on track. try writing it down. pick a day, make the commitment. let everyone know. put notes around your house. it really does help you get your head back in the game.
@nstephenson01 ohhhh i could feel the joy in your words. i am so happy you are feeling good about the time you get to spend at home. it is a great feeling to know you are safe warm and loved!!
@CassieGetsFit2013 I made my goodies yesterday too. I made homemade cherry cheese cake and double dark chocolate brownies. the house smell amazing. Good job too on giving them away! it is good for your heart and the scale!!

Skylynn and I were playing Christmas chess. I kept smelling something gross. I’m pretty sure it was Lula Mae’s dog bed. Molly was going to wash it but there was a hole on the bottom. I had bought her an expensive one early summer for mom’s area but she never ever used it. So old bed had to go. That night she laid down far away from the new bed and cried all night. The next day Skylynn got in the new bed and tried to show her how nice it was. We even put a Christmas blanket in it and her toys. Nope nothing. This morning Molly went downstairs to find this lovely scene...2
