Homemade Lifestyle

 

the honey baking in the awesomely healthy and hopefully yummy granola bars is giving me a sweet sugar high! i forgot the gloves when mixing the sticky wet with the crumbled dry mix.

Resurected

i went a week without internet connection! it's amazing how much i depend on my computer, the internet to manage my life and entertain myself. i was suddenly paralized, unable to do 'need to do' things, essentials. besides important life matters i had a ton of recipies lined up to try and i was suddenly cut off from them all with only a couple saved on my 'living cookbook' software (do you know of anything better?). but

Historical Baking

 

My son had a school project of which he chose the easiest option, me making cookies. He found few recipes online, one looked like it would be bitter, the other had Brandy in it so that was out, then there was a recipe with over 2 cups of sugar, we had a winner!  I spent a good part of the day, all day really, preparing, baking, burning, and packaging nearly 90 cookies!

Five Whole Pounds!

 
I've been on a rampage to change my lifestyle AGAIN by eating fresh food naturally fortified and as close to its essential nature as possible. In just four days of eating more salads and less processed food, even with homemade muffins, i managed to lose FIVE pounds!! My head is in the right place and my actions backed them up with quick results. It doesn't always happen this way, this fast but it did this time and fills me with hope and encouragement.

Eating & Moving to Live

 last week i got bad news from my dr. my thyroid was low, iron low, vit. d low, and blood sugar high. i don't have diabetes but if i don't lose weight i will. not only does the blood work and my extra pounds point to it but also does my family medical history. a father, brother, and great grandmother all had diabetes. it was upsetting to hear how so many things seem to be going wrong with my body. i knew i needed to and had been losing weight but i didn't think i was already showing signs of ill health from it besides tight clothes.
