I'm feeling "blah." I am cutting caffiene this week. I'm going to eat clean with my mom to hopefully put her arthritis back into remission. Pray that works? Thanks.
So to help her, I'm cutting all "bad" from my diet. Thankfully it's not much bad these days. Not too shocking since I've cut most "white foods." I eat veggies, fruit, nuts, seeds, wild caught fish and beans. I love beans. They are easy on the waist, good for the body and easy on the checkbook as well.
The shock was the zip that my beloved coffee gives my day. I weaned down (like a true addict) 1 cup, the next day 3/4 cup and now I'm down to 1/4 cup today. You know what that means? NO COFFEE TOMORROW!!! Ok maybe an 1/8 of a cup! :)
Still weaning myself down I still had to go to bed early yesterday and had a dull headache all day. Kind of embarressing to admit, although I was not surprised. I LOVE coffee and knew I had been drinking more and more and more over the holidays as it got colder.
OK confessions are over. Things are going OK here. I still look around, daily, and say to myself or to Peter, "I can't believe we live in Iowa." That's starting to sink in more.
My house is falling down around me (the blahs do that to me.)
I have 42 minutes before Peter is home for his weekend, can I get the house cleaned up before he gets home? I'll take before and after pictures and show you what happens.
Ready set go!!!

Thanks for reading and playing along with my life. I have to find motivation wherever I can.
So thank you for reading and Peter thanks you too because the house is much nicer now. :)

Oh honey... I know. It takes a while for that, "I can't believe I live in __________," feeling to wear off. As for the caffeine withdrawals. Take vitamin B pills. If that doesn't un-blah you, take a five hour energy. No caffeine in that, it is just a big liquid vitamin B boost. And it is awesome! No buzz, just alert.
You go girl!! Your house looks great!! Thank you for motivating me and doing this together. I love you so much!! I am doing great but my hands and feet hurt. Is this my thorn for life? I hope not. No matter what I will perservere. I will healthy and pray it goes back into remission. Thanks again, for walking by my side. Heart and soul. Miss you all so much!!
