It's been a while...again

So I am sure I've said this before, but I will be making more of an effort to update my blog. I want it to be the mainstay of my social media. I am sick of facebook to be honest. Not just political things (in fact political things don't bother me at all). I focus too much time and energy on who does what, who has what, who is hanging out with who, what am I not invited to, how many people did or didn't like something I posted. Vapid. Self-absorbed. Done.

I am taking some time out to focus on myself again. Once I did a 30-day stint away from facebook and it was glorious. No longer did I take 40 minutes to get out of bed because I'm scrolling. No longer did Bryce ask me to play with him and I said 'wait a minute I have to finish posting and I'll come'. No longer did I run in to objects because my nose was in a phone. I am at the beck and call of what *might* be waiting for me in my notifications. I'm tired of my phone being a need instead of a privilege. So facebook, I'm handing in my letter of resignation. It's an indefinite decision and could last 3 weeks or 3 years. Not sure.

Cons? There are many. I love seeing my childhood friends and their beautiful families. I also have several support groups that I belong to- pcos groups, parents of one and only children (invaluable resource group), and a couple others that I'm going to miss! So that is what has kept me on since I said I was leaving a couple weeks ago.

So on to other news. I'm on day20 of another whole30. I feel incredible and I hope it stays that way. My last whole30 I didn't do very well and lost almost no weight. This time I've stuck to it really well and I feel more energetic and can see a small change in my body. On day25 of my last whole30 I gave in and had a donut king donut...because...donut king. (If you haven't had one....go. now. They're open 24 hours)

This time is different for me. I have a motivation. The motivation will be revealed in due time (no I'm not pregnant). But I have a reason for sticking hard to my diet. I didn't even get a piece of my own darn birthday cake!

Speaking of birthdays...yep...I am now 34.... yikes! Mid-30's... Am I where I thought I'd be or wanted to be? Nope...but I've got a lot of life to live so... onward!

I hope I still have readers, I hope all is well. I'll be leaving facebook shortly (next few days)...

please stay tuned. I plan to have many adventures via my blog- and a LOT of recipes and healthy living guidance...
