This March, I lost my grandma, my rock, and the person who always believe in me, even when I struggled to believe in myself. Her passing has left huge hole in my life, but it's also given me a renewal sense of purpose. My grandma always worried about my health especially my weight. At over 400 lbs, I know I haven't been living the healthy life she wanted for me. So I making a promise to her and myself to change that.
My Promise:
I'm starting this blog to document my Journey. It's not just about losing weight; it's about honoring my grandma's memory and making her proud. I'm taking the difficult but necessary step on pursuing weight loss surgery. It's a tool, a new beginning, and a way for me to take control of my health and future.
The Road Ahead:
This won't be easy. There will be challenges, setbacks, and moments when I want to give up. But I'll keep thinking of my grandma, her unwavering love, and the promise i made her. I want to live a long health life.
Good afternoon how everyone Friday been, Today was good my mom took care of kids for me while I clean the house listening to some My Chemical Romance and do more research for weight loss surgery.
Breakfast: Veggie Omelette Wrap
Lunch: Tuna Stuffed Avocado
Dinner: Turkey and Veggie Meatballs with Spaghetti Squash
QOTD: I mostly buy stuff in bulk to freeze for later so i can have on hand.
It lives on! i have no idea how many I have shared it with- always crediting YOU, of course!

We Can Do Hard Things
Happy Friday, all!
Made it to Florida about 12:30 last night. I thought I would sleep like a rock, but I didn't. Or at least not until about 6:00 this morning. I didn't sleep an hour on the plane.
Today is a lot of unpacking and hopefully getting my gym stuff set up. I'm sure that there will be a Home Depot trip in there somewhere, as well.
I am not on vacation today, so there are also calls and things to look at as well. Hopefully get a lot done today and play on Saturday and Sunday. Monday, I fly home at 6:30 and go straight into work.
QOTD: more with fish that we have caught than other proteins. A lot of Paleo bloggers will say that having emergency protein on hand is the key to eating healthy.
Breakfast: Bagel
Lunch: sandwich
Dinner: Hopefully some sort of seafood!
Have a great day, all!

Happy Friday gang. Those are some of the pepper plants I put outside to harden off. I have some more veggie plants that will be going out there this weekend. I also planted some yellow beans and will get the potatoes in tonight.
I was able to take the CPR class yesterday. It's always good to get a refresher on CPR/First Aid you just never know when you might need to help someone. Even though I sold half of my chickens earlier this year I still get 17 eggs a day and right now I have an abundance of extra eggs, so I brought a few dozen in to make some quiche for the guys. I know they will really appreciate them.
QOTD: Do you ever look for food deals at the grocery store like stuff you can purchase in bulk to freeze for later? If I come across some good fresh seafood deals like fish I usually buy 5lbs or more of it to have on hand. I do the same with lamb and turkey when they are on sale around the holidays. We like to have a variety of proteins in the freezer and while I could grow turkeys they are a lot more messier than chickens and have some disease problems when around chickens. Same with sheep they require certain feed and some stuff can kill them like to much copper.
B: coffee and squash and eggs
L: clam chowder and crab bites from a local seafood shack
D: spinach and cheese stuffed cod
30 minutes on the treadmill
Have a wonderful day and weekend everyone!!!

Real life begins where your comfort zone ends
I've found that vitamin needs can change more than I expected over time. When I started supplementing, I was mostly focused on B12 and iron, but later had to adjust calcium and vitamin D amounts too, especially after a few blood test results surprised me. I've also noticed that basics don't always cover everything, like how some multis are good for general use, but not if you've got specific health goals or gaps.
