Exercise makes me happy

So today I started my exercise plan. I was really hungry and just wanted to eat before I did, and after I wasn't so hungry. If that's all it takes I will exercise every day! LOL. I love the Walk At Home DVD's by Leslie Sansone. This morning I walked a mile....going to work myself up to 2 or 3 miles eventually. So that is good. I really feel more energetic and happy today since I exercised. I am planning on exercising 5 days a week. I took a 'before' picture of my face so I can see the difference as I lose weight. Will have my hubby help with full body shots UGH tonight when I get home from work. So this is the conversation I had with my hubby last week that really hit home:
Me: Seriously need new scrub pants, all my pants make my legs hurt

Him: Why do they make your legs hurt?
Me: Cause I am too fat...they are too small
Him: Sounds like a personal issue, isn't there a better solution than buying bigger ones?
Me: Yeah but that takes a while, I was 40# lighter when I bought these.

Now know that he said what he did out of love and the fact that we barely make ends meet most months. What a better solution than to lose weight and get healthier at the same time? Smart man of mine :) Today was a great day on the diet. I noticed the Tootsie Rolls on my boss' desk today moreso than usual.....but again I triumphed! I am excited that I am actually having some will power this go around. I'm proud of my hubby, he ordered chinese tonight and made sure to order me stuff I could eat, chicken and pork that wasn't breaded or covered in sugary stuff. It was good, and he didn't have any so I can have some for lunch tomorrow. I love that considerate man of mine, he is amazing!

This picture is why I need to lose this weight....see how tight my scrub pants are? Don't mind the fact that apparently I need to spray them with some shout too LOL!

Saturday 9: Good Morning, Heartache

Trying another new thing called Saturday 9, it can be found here: http://samanthasaturday9.blogspot.com 1) Do you come up with your brightest ideas early in the morning or late at night? I would say that I am most creative later in the evenings 2) Are you more likely to feel romantic at night or in the morning? Depends on the day :-), but usually at night 3) Do you shower in the morning, after work or before bed? I shower in the mornings, it helps wake me up 4) Billie Holiday was just 44 when she died. Is there an artist whose early demise surprised and saddened you? Not an artist but Heath Ledger's death really shocked me and took me by surprise. He is one of my all time favorite actors. 5) Billie was known as "Lady Day." Do you have a cool nickname? (If not, feel free to give yourself one right now.) No cool nicknames, as a kid I was "Woodie or Fruitcake".....don't ask LOL 6) When was the last time you had the blues? ...

🌿 CBD and Hormones: What Every Woman Should Know

Posted in The Wellness Den | June 14, 2025 Let’s be real: being a woman comes with a lot of hormonal ups and downs. Mood swings. Fatigue. Bloating. Brain fog. Anxiety. Sleep issues. And don’t even get me started on the perimenopause rollercoaster. Whether you’re in your 20s or late 40s (like me!), hormones influence everything —your energy, mood, digestion, skin, cycle, and emotional balance. But here’s something most women don’t hear enough: CBD can help. Not as a magic pill or miracle cure—but as a powerful tool that supports your body’s natural rhythms and helps bring balance when everything feels off. 💛 What Happens When Hormones Are Out of Whack? When estrogen, progesterone, cortisol, or thyroid hormones get thrown off, you may feel: Anxious or irritable Wired but tired Struggling with sleep or concentration Sluggish digestion or metabolism Cravings, mood dips, and PMS from another planet Sound familiar? Now enter: your Endocannabino...
