Being honest

<<<<<<<<<<< Love this and am going to take this approach....brutal honesty :)  So this morning I weighed in at 148.0#.  Which is far from my lowest weight in this journey and I gained 5# this weekend.   I have a harder time on the weekends.   I don't know if it's boredom or what but something has to change.   My hubby and I were talking last night and he was telling me how he does better diet wise when I am sticking on plan better.   That's all the motivation I needed to hear.   My hubby has a lot of weight to lose and has  been losing slowly.   His doctor wants him to go on insulin but he doesn't want to.   He had been bringing his A1C levels down some.   He is diabetic.   So back on plan for me.   I went to a gas station this morning and got caffeine free (diet coke addiction I am trying to break)  diet coke and those darn donuts are right there in the counter but I was strong and did not take one.   Then at lunch my mind told me to go to dollar tree for candy and snacks but nothing healthy....... So I just went to 7 Eleven and for my soda.   I know I know water is better..... Work in progress...... Slowly weaning myself.... Mondays are high stress days at work and soda is my pacifier as my hubby puts it.   It really helps when I am stressed.   I can tell I am depressed as I am wanting candy and goodies and chips and such.    I am not a huge candy person at all.   I like it every now and then but not as often as I have been craving it lately.

Tomorrow will be my first day back on Fly Lady and I am going to make it stick this time.   If we are going to have kids I cannot have the house in the news that it is in right now.   I just have to get back on top of it and keep on top of it once I get it cleaned up.   Tomorrow in the few hours I have in the morning between therapist and neurologist Appt I am going to do a bit of crisis cleaning which is where you spend 15 minutes on a room then switch to another room and another then take a 15 minute break.   I also have my standard day off list of things to get done..... Dishes, clean out litter boxes,  fold whites,  refill both mine and animal weekly pills.

I don't know what happened but after lunch I was in the BEST mood I have been in a long time.  I talked with my hubby all the way home on the phone and that always puts me in a better mood, but holy cow, I feel on top of the world.  Wonder if it's the new medication starting to work, if it is Lamictal, where have you been all my life?  And why haven't I been put on you sooner?  Seriously!  I LOVE feeling like this.   So I have a baby kitten I have been fostering.  He is 3 & 1/2 weeks old and purrs constantly, already does face nuzzles.  I am so falling in love with this little cutie pie.  His name is Holy Smokes, but I call him Buddy most of the time.  He comes when I call him and is adorable.  He has the cutest face.  I am bottle feeding him.  I am really good at raising kittens.....and REALLY good and being a 'foster' failure aka keeping them........have kept 2 of them since I started working for the vet I work for now.

As for the fertility....still waiting for AF to rear her ugly head, I am now 3 days late......trying REALLY hard not to get my hopes up as I know it's my stupid body playing a stupid trick on me.  We have decided to wait until Friday and if she hasn't shown by then, I will do a pregnancy test.  But my cycles can be screwy sometimes even though I have been regular every 28-29 days for a really long time.  I have PCOS so my body can throw some curve balls in.    ETA about 9:00pm......we have AF!  Never been so excited for that heinous Bio#$ to visit!  Let the rest of the fertility testing begin :)

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?   ...

Describe the routine of a normal day for you:   I wake up at 6:00am, take a shower, get ready for the day, then I go downstairs and feed the critters, and make breakfast for hubby and I.  We usually leave the house by about 7:30ish and I drop my husband off at work.  Then I work (I'm a Pet Groomer) until about 3:30 or 4:00ish then I leave for home and go get my hubby from work.  Then I come home and make dinner, feed the critters, work on cleaning the house a little and we usually head to bed about 8:30ish or 9:00. 85.

🌿 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...
