Starting Somewhere (a boring health blog)

This is not my smoothie but basically my smoothie. Yesterday was my first day with a protein smoothie breakfast to start the day. And it pretty much kept me full till lunchtime. It was packed with whey protein, blueberries, kale and a dose of canned coconut milk. This is slightly reminding me of my Slim Fast days and shakes for breakfast and lunch. I actually would lose 2 lbs a week on that diet but those shakes are full of sugars and who knows what else. These are much healthier and Slim Fast days were my late 20s and 30s... I was a different woman then. My hormones and body were a different beast 😂
I don't have the chia seeds the recipe calls for to make it more filling but will add flax into today's mix. I obviously need to stock up on more ingredients for these.
My first workout session...pretty much still feeling it and could barely walk yesterday. Squats are NO JOKE. I'm hoping today's workout is not leg related at all or I'll have to push it off for one more day of recovery. I have to go to work today and I need my legs to get me there!
Had a minor snack attack yesterday and ended up eating a granny smith apple with peanut butter and nuts...and ten tiny cheddar flavored rice snacks 🙄 Not bad considering I really wanted some damn Blue Bell icecream I stupidly bought.
This is going to be a work in progress and honing things as I go and eliminating as I need to. I'm listening to my body and chilling when I need to and pushing when I think I can. The whole point is to manage Cortisol...stress hormone...and taking it at my own pace.
I'm in a Metabolic Renewal group and hearing ladies who are older (in worse shape than me )  conquer their workouts and goals gives me hope. Yes I Can Too!
This is a pretty boring blog but in case you were thinking of starting or restarting a health regiment or reset...jump in (again). There's no time like now. It can start with just moving a little more. A little walking. A little stretching. Start small. We all start somewhere. ❤️

    I dragged out the calorie counting app Sunday. Would like to lose the covid 5 I gained on top of the Christmas 5 that sits on the I haven't lost this since 55 5. Revving metabolism is key. Is this a fb group ?

    Hey there! There is a Facebook group for it but you have to buy the Metabolic t program to get into it. It's my first time doing anything like this. So simple breakdown was for about $45 you get meal plans, workouts and nutrition instry tailored for your hormone type. There are shakes you can buy but I just got my own whey protein powder for those. So far I'm liking it, the workouts are 15 minutes of very targeted exercises designed to rev up your metabolism and kick your "human growth hormone" into gear. Just lost my 1st lb and I've only done 3 days of the progy 🌞

How I had the best art year

  This was the year I got rejection letters from every open call I applied to. Granted, it wasn't very many I applied to because I am very picky about what I sign up for AND I am also very jaded about these things of late.  However, this was my best art year to date and I kinda love that it was all rejection notices this year and I STILL HAD THE BEST ART YEAR EVER. Takeaway: Today's open calls are very "agenda based" and the jurors they choose to judge have their agendas. Some want more millennials and younger artists and shun the older artists, some want you to tackle race, gender identity, politics, feminist, pro this or that.... And my art does not. I'm going to stick by  my "Nature is more important than most bullshit" stance till I die because the very atom of life and Nature is more important in my eyes than most of the stuff humans do to feel more important than another group.  But I digress! I did not get into the velvet rope clubs and it was gre

So what's the Scenario?

Street Artist 'My Dog Sighs' Paints Faces on Cans Found Littered on the Street I found this interesting art on Pinterest and thought it would be a good example for a proposed scenario.....indulge me if you will.... The scenario is this....this street artist paints on cans. Pretty cool right? Pretty neat! He's probably not the only one who paints on cans in the world but he most likely is the only one in his little neck of the woods and art circle. Ok, let's pretend I invite this CAN painter to be in this big group show we do annually at my gallery. (This is pretend land, I dont have a gallery but roll with me...)  Ok, he is a hit, everyone thinks his can faces are awesome and he's considered pretty unique for doing this medium in our little art circle. Ok fast forward into the future....it's a year later and it's time for our big annual show...here's the scenario....we don't invite the CAN artist to come show again BUT we do hand out a can

Year of the Dragon

  First off, Happy New Year to my blog readers! Not sure if I actually have blog readers but if I do- I wish you well! We are coming up on the Chinese Lunar New Year and it's Year of the Dragon! I jumped into the year at a crazy pace and really need to pace myself for ALL THE THINGS I'm trying to accomplish. First off it was very important to me to launch a couple things and explore some other platforms. Those being: Tiktok, Patreon and YouTube I'll go on to say that I actually did not want to do any of these. I repeat DID NOT WANT TO DO THESE.  *Didn't think I was worthy for people to pay me on Patreon and also thought creating perks for people monthly was a lot of work. So far ...IT IS A LOT OF WORK....but I am new and growing from the ground up and that's how it is. Growing pains! I'm working to learn and streamline this so it goes hand in hand with... *YouTube channel! Who actually does not enjoy seeing my weird face and voice in a video? Hi. ME. I really di
