Diet Beta Test - Learning Starts April 24th

I'm about to embark on something amazing! I signed up for Chalene's Diet Beta Test yesterday. Our prep week is next week and then we officially start our new way of eating on May 1. I can't wait to learn more about it, as I've been listening to Chalene's latest podcasts about sleep and diet. They all make a lot of sense to me as I've been experimenting myself with intermittent fasting, what foods I'm eating and better sleep. Sounds like this is the perfect solution for me to use her and her experts to help increase my knowledge on how to keep time from taking its toll on me.

Things were getting really tough since September of last year and right before my birthday in March, I decided things had to change. I've been doing a lot of soul searching, experimenting with different ideas and trying to keep an open mind. I'll try to update here more often with information on what things I'm trying, recipes I'm cooking and our menu plans and overall how things are progressing. Starting next week, you'll see some posts around how my meal plan is shaping up under this plan and what my thoughts are around how it will work.

Stopping the Voices in my Head - aka Mastering my Mindset

The more I work on my personal development, the more I realize I need to stop listening to and changing the negative things I tell myself in my head. I'm also noticing the older I get the more the negative things I hold as beliefs about myself are not true. This reinforces that I should second guess the other negative beliefs I hold inside ... maybe those are not true either. Here are a few things I've realized are not true: I need help to put air in my car tires - This was one of the first things I learned as my husband had to move to Colorado for work. I did this at the Wawa up the street where the machine will stop and beep when your tires are at the right pressure. I also learned and committed to memory that the pressure you want your tires at is inside your gas cap, something I have to open at least once a week. This was something that was super easy to learn to do and had me zipping along the roads in a few minutes without the anxiety...

Bad Dreams Go Away Magic Spell

Wow! Two posts in one day!!! I just had to blog about this. Indigo Girl had posted about her daughter having bad dreams and looking for advice. I had to post what we do in our house to keep away bad dreams. I have to admit it was one of my most brilliant mommy moments as I pulled this one out of my a$$ when I came up with it. When Phoebe was about 3 or 4 years old, she started complaining about nightmares. I knew it was half true and half stalling for bedtime. She has always been very into witches, wizards and spells (heck she was named after the character on Charmed and my due date was Halloween), so I came up with a magic spell on the spot to keep away bad dreams. I figured all it had to do was rhyme. I will share it with you all and feel free to try it if you need it: Bad dreams, bad dreams go away In Phoebe's dreams she must play She should dream of ice cream and cake Until the morning when she wakes She loves it! She still asks for it sometimes if she's had a ni...
