Do you do a yearly vision board? This is something I started doing again a few years ago. It’s so interesting to see how much you can accomplish when you set your mind to it. One statement I recently heard from a fellow realtor (I am not sure where it originated, but I love it!)Continue reading “Vision Boards”

Rain is Refreshing Renewal
I’m so happy it’s 100% chance of rain today on January 1, 2021 because to me, rain always has symbolized renewal. It has been present at many important milestones in my life and I always recognize it during times of transition. I’m excited about the new year and making some basic changes in my life.Continue reading “Rain is Refreshing Renewal”
Day 14 down 10 pounds
I’m very excited to see some of the weight I quickly acquired in December gone. Now I’m back to my normal overweight weight! Haha! But at least now I have about 40 pounds to lose instead of 50. Not drinking gives me the ability to focus on my health. I am able to prepare andContinue reading “Day 14 down 10 pounds”
12 days and 7 pounds – it’s so much easier to lose weight
For years I tried to diet and lose weight while drinking wine. It was a struggle. A constant battle, to say the least. Now that I’m not drinking it so mush easier to control my food intake. I tried Adkins and I tried low carb and intermittent fasting over the past years but it wouldContinue reading “12 days and 7 pounds – it’s so much easier to lose weight”
Day 11 of the new me – feeling STRONG
It’s 5am and I’m up and excited to face the day. I feel wonderfully recharged after a great night sleep and I’m feeling positive because I can feel my life improving every single day. So far it’s been easy being sober. I haven’t thought much at all about drinking and have had very few cravings.Continue reading “Day 11 of the new me – feeling STRONG”
Was I Blind? The wine made me blind and numb!
It’s only day 6 but I’m really shocked at how I’m feeling. I’ve done dry January and different dry months in the past but the goal was always to drink again in a “controlled” way. This time, with there being no more drinking to “look forward to” I am finding myself evaluating where I amContinue reading “Was I Blind? The wine made me blind and numb!”
How did I let myself go so far? What happened to self care?
Yikes. As the fog is lifting from a lifelong (it seems) bender and love affair with wine, I wonder, how did I let myself go so far and so badly? It’s only day 4 but as I weighed in at 186.2, I find myself wondering how I’ve allowed wine to win over everything else. MyContinue reading “How did I let myself go so far?

Meal Planning for the week – Day 3
I have decided to make Sunday my day for meal planning and grocery shopping. With two teenage sons, having good healthy food on hand that they will eat and want to eat for dinner (that is not just fatty pizza!!) can be challenging. I asked them both for a list of their favorite foods andContinue reading “Meal Planning for the week – Day 3”
Day 1
Today, January 4th, 2020 is my first day on my sober journey to my new life. I’ve been anxiously awaiting this day with much excitement. I’ve been drinking a lot for many years (25 plus) and especially heavily this past year. I’m hoping to document my journey to creating the real me here on myContinue reading “Day 1”
Organization
I’ve never been able to maintain a schedule or organization in my personal life. I do for my business; I have to in order to run my company and sell real estate. So my business is booming, but my personal life has always been based on alcohol consumption for “fun”. I am trying to calculateContinue reading “Organization”
I love my new life!
