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!

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 [...]
