So today was a day full of temptations, one of the reps brought us einstein bagels, I LOVE bagels.  Granted I should not be eating them anyways as I am on a Gluten Free Diet, but I tend to cheat....A LOT!  Maybe my gassy belly would be better if I didn't.  So they sat in the break room at work.  I eat my lunch in the breakroom so there they were BAM right in front of me tempting the hell out of me!  I resisted and had my tuna fish and hard boiled egg for lunch though.  I was sorely tempted though.  Then it was also girl scout cookie day at work.  I was offered several by girls at work and I resisted!  Not a fan of the peanut butter ones anyways lol I don't like peanut butter so  YAY for me for resisting!  I can't tell you how difficult it was to resist bagels though.  I used my "Emotional Eating" Remedies (Bach Flower Essences Combos) several times today.  HA HA!

I have discovered that I have to munch when I am in the car, I do not know what it is but I have to be munching on something.  Not sure if it is anxiety or what but man do I get the car munchies!  At least with the protein day I had several healthier options than my usual array of junk.  Don't get my wrong I usually try to eat healthy snacks it's just that due to the Seroquel I am on for my bipolar makes me have the appetite of an elephant I swear.  I feel like a druggie who has the munchies all the damn time. I tend to eat more than one or two snacks at a time and keep eating and eating.   I really need to work on my will power because I have an extremely difficult time saying no to junk and stopping when I am already full.  Those are all things that I am going to be working on.  My mood has been quite stable even though we have cut back on the seroquel.  The real test will be when we go down to the 150mg in a few weeks, that will be the real challenge and test. 

Did I pass the first protein day on my diet?  Yes-Sir-Re!  I did!  Woot Woot!  Go me!  Now tomorrow morning before work (I go in at 1pm) I am bound and determined to exercise.....we'll see how that goes.

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...
