Welcome

Hi There! Welcome to my blog. I am a thirty something woman living in Las Vegas with some challenges to overcome. I have been struggling with anxiety for a few years. The anxiety has triggered alcoholism, which is also a challenge. I am chubby, tired, and out of focus because of it all. I feel old. Time to turn that around! I plan on tackling my issues head on with changes in my eating, my lifestyle, and in my mind. Welcome to my journey!

Today = No Bueno

Ugh. This morning was very bad for my anxiety. I woke up with a slight stabbing pain in my neck, about 4 inches to the left and one inch up from the base of my throat. I believe this is from a combination of heartburn and sleeping on my arm (I have problems with each).  [...]

Gastrointestinal Issues

I am battling some interesting heartburn & gastrointestinal issues. I get pain in the upper part of my chest here and there after eating food. Two days ago, it was the pizza that set it off. Last night after dinner too. The one symptom is SO strange…its a sharp pain about two inches over and [...]

Release

I think I am already starting to feel the effects of my recent changes in attitude, behavior, and eating. I think I will see a huge change when I give up caffeine…not so soon though. Only a few vices at a time so I don’t overload! I have been sleeping so deeply. I have been [...]

Status

I have been alcohol free and high raw since January 1st….

Turning the corner

I turned over the proverbial “new leaf” yesterday. I really made the commitment towards a better me. You are what you eat. You cannot escape that! Yesterday was my one year in Vegas anniversary. I am celebrating it by doing the things I said I would!
