Oh hello! I am making changes in my life! Come along and join me!

Well everyone!
 If you were following me on my other blog you know what I'm doing in life.
In fact.. Most of you here know what I'm doing so I won't re blog about it tonight. Why?
Because tonight I am tired and lazy! Thats why!


Needless to say. I tried to do a blog with a friend for weight loss and more importantly getting healthy. Mentally and physically.
But in the end I felt like I was the only one doing it. So I figured if that was how I was feeling I might as well just blog on my own blog. That is why i have it!


I've bonded with the darling Brittany who is keeping me accountable and pushing me to excel!
And.. she craves chips with me! BWAHAHAHAHAA
I'll add that blog below (just to piss her off because I KNOW she's reading this! )


My goals for the next week:


Get back on track with my exercising.
Start doing my DDP yoga again.
Drink my beet drink daily *gag*
Blog every day but not feel like crap if I miss a day!
Get my school work done.
Make love to my husband daily (because he turns me on and I deserve it)
Stay away from chocolate
Stay away from chips
Drink my beet juice. (ugg)


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~WEE FOR CHANGE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~




Salty vrs sweet 
I'm going with a big font today because I'm feeling old and like I need to be able to SEE what I am typing.  Its been a long day for me. I'm feeling the effects of the anemia. Had to pull over today and rest on the drive home. After telling everyone how awesome I'm feeling physically!  WTF. 
Friday (no not tonight) I am going to start taking my proferrin 3 times a day instead of once.  Trying to keep it together.  Other than that, I got to spend time with my grandchubby today! We made banana splits! <3 It was a lot of fun. I'll post photos on Friday!  ON WITH THE BLOG!


There comes a point when you crave something.
You NEED IT! 
You will rip your husbands hair out if he doesn't go to the store RIGHT EFFING NOW!  Hmm, this might just be me. 

By the way, I am pretty sure big brother is watching me after Google searching "Kill hubby cravings" to get images!

The sad part for me right now is, I'm not even pregnant!  I'm just fat! You know when you are trying to get healthy the cravings get stronger!! Oh and I'm a few days away from getting my endofasentence. That could be the issue!
Either way I alternate daily between wanting to kill for salty treats and threatening to beat someone if they don't find me something sweet!   In my mind.... this is me!  How can she be so skinny?? LOL



I had a conversation this morning as I drove to Victoria with my friend Mel. We were talking about healthy alternatives to bad cravings.  
The issue is, Sometimes it's not as cut and dry as "I want something sweet/salty"

Theres also the issue of cost. My friend Mel, Bless her. Is rich. I don't hold this against her. She's a lovely woman!  So don't you judge her ok!   ;-)
So when I tell her I'm craving something sweet her response is "Go buy a ton of berries!"
One tiny thing of blueberries is $5 or more!  NO can do!  A large thing of strawberries is $10. Do you know how much veg I can buy for $10?  I unlike my darling friend am dirt poor. I crave chocolate sometimes but I won't buy it and take that money away from my son eating. Even for $2. (Remember when a chocolate bar was 50 cents??) 
But she is right. Instead of buying candy (my weakness more than chocolate) I'll buy fruit. Not always berries, but I LOVE frozen green grapes. They taste wonderful and you won't eat them as quickly.  I also love spartan apples! MMMMMmm When I am craving sweets, I go for apples!  I also , with any craving period, increase my water intake.

I found some hints on staying away chocolate! Check it out:

Now, heres the thing. I don't tend to crave salty things. I crave crunchy things!  Lately I've wanted crunch and vinegary! mmmmmmmmmmmmmm   Now how do I combat that?  EASY! I send Bill to the store to get salt and vinegar chips! HELL YEAH!  Rippled! So I can nibble them!

Yup, thats what I did!
and I hated the few chips I ate. They tasted like deep fried fat.  They were hard. They hurt my mouth. 

What I did was I cut up some carrots into sticks and got a little container. In the container I put Malt vinegar. I normally use Apple cider but yesterday I wanted Malt! 
IT WAS SOOOO NUMMY!!!!!!  omg. Got my crunchy craving out of the way and added that malt flavor that just ROCKS! 

In all this getting healthy business we have to remember to treat ourselves. If we don't, we'll fail. Moderation. Don't go overboard!  This is what I am learning.

What do you do when you have a craving? Do you cave in? or do you get something healthy?

Let me know! I need suggestions =-D
