Vacation Nutrition

This was my first time veering off my wellness track in over a year. Way off track. 

I keep trying to let myself go a little, then rein myself back in before I tumble ass over tea kettle into a food coma that lasts for weeks...

Finding that balance is tricky,  but I've found that as long as I keep pushing play and stay active,  and eat from the Earth, I will be okay 😊

That makes my heart happy!

Zucchini

I don't know about you but in our house we LOVE the Summer veggies fresh from the garden! One of my favorite side dishes is baked & broiled zucchini strips!

Existing In The Absence of Social Media

Say WHAT??  

I had been on Facebook for about 8 years. Until 16 days ago, (yes I am counting!), when I deactivated my account, along with Twitter and Instagram.

I mean, I only ditched about 900 of my closest friends. Like it was nothing. I was pretty depressed last week. I'm thinking it was probably a period of mourning.

Why did I do the unthinkable? I'm not sure really, well maybe that's a lie? Or maybe it's like this. You know how all these posts are inspiring most of the time, and you're like that's a great idea, this is amazing! After a while you're like, I wish I had the opportunity to do that, try that, go there and so on.

Eventually, the excitement and enthusiasm turns to annoyance and frustration. Some times it propels you to get things done and at the same time depresses you when you can't.

 It's been interesting to say the least, learning to enjoy the moment without posting about it.  Not taking selfies to share with your online world.

What about

 all those beautiful photos of the sky?

NO BIG STORY

I don't have that kind of story. I never felt like I couldn't do anything. I was a pretty fit fat girl.

I never felt fat. I was just me.

I didn't have a traumatic experience that caused me to eat copious amounts of food. I have no excuse for my actions or cravings. 

I've always just do everything without thinking. Gets me into trouble all the time!

But it also catapults me out of my comfort zone!

How do you PUSH yourself beyond your limits?
