boston and new things

So - I went to Boston 

My goodness - 

It was a wonderful relaxing time with good friends.

I hopped on a plane and flew -

I stayed using Air BnB !

And I ate Lobster every day.

Except for steak days.

Hopped on a train and went to Portland, Maine

Came home,

Made the usual Instant Pots

This is Ribs in the Instant Pot.

New recipe!

So I started a fast.

Not an Intermittent Fast 

Where you skip lunch and call it good.

But a real committed fast.

This is called Snake Juice!

Its really just an electrolyte replacement.

So that when you fast, you won't get dizzy and faint.

The moderator of the group says basically

That is you are heavy you eat too much.

No brainer.

He advocates a Fasting Focused Lifestyle.

And Low Carb when you do eat.

I lost 10 pounds in the first 10 days.

I came back from Boston determined 

To make some serious changes in my life.

I got a new job. (Actually, I got the old one back.)

And a new mattress. 

I quit drinking wine and even coffee.

I have done a few 48 hour fasts.

Even a 72 hour fast.

Now I am on a 90 hour fast!

We shall see!

I have so much more time and energy.

I have so much more clarity.

I am much less anxious 

And much more confident!

I guess eventually people get sick and tired - Of being sick and tired.

This awesome blog will be a good way to chart my progress!

Thanks for reading along!

work all day

The kittens are all Raw Food now.

They hardly have canned food.

They have access to dry food -

The kind with no grains or fillers, etc.

But they rarely go there

I am finally able to tolerate my hair being long enough 

To grow out - just a bit

Would you believe ANOTHER wreck?

I was sitting there, at a dead stop, 

And got rear -ended.

But Trekkie is as good as new. 

The fine people at EARTH collision even detailed her. 

"LOL"

The rental car had a flat tire. 

Enterprise fixed me right up.

Thank Goodness

So much beauty I see every day in my driving.

So much water. 

I try to drink  THIS much a day.

Sweet Potato Vines.

One of my faves.

Lots of prepping.

Lots of Instant Pot

Many Salads. 

Cold protein when it's too hot to cook

And me!

At work with a cute little kid.

I have two jobs now.... again....

I do the "baby" on the weekend,

And home health 3 days a week.

What's different about this job is

1) Easier software

2) Closer to home

3) A Fresh Start

I don't use a cane (much) and

Don't have any situation that impedes me

And I'm not on pain meds

And I don't have to drive an hour (each way) 

To get to work.

So yeah.

Up till now, in my career, I have only had 3 jobs.

NOW, I have had 3 jobs in 3 years.

Times - they are a*changing

Already changed.

And I'm pretty sure it for the best!

Dallas has such a pretty skyline

Because it has so many glass buildings 

First Drink your water.

This much. Every day.

This is an awesome hot sauce recipe I just learned!

Joseph is finally eating Raw Meat!

It took him a good time to come around.

I guess he never read the book 

About cats liking raw meat.

More Instant Pot.

So easy - so fast.

NO - it's not "instant" like a microwave 

From the movie The Fifth Element.

But still faster than a Crock Pot.

Dallas is big. But it is made up of littler cities.

Like Irving. My new job is closer to home.

No more driving 50+ miles each way,

Just to get to work.

Still - this is me.

I am just glad August is here!
