Instant Gratification

-
Not all things you do are going to be awesome.
Shocker... I KNOW!
I write, at LEAST once a week, and I have several 'Drafts' on this blog forum to prove it.

So why do they not get published? Fear? Nah... maybe because I don't think they'll be read? Maybe that one. I guess that kinda lines in with fear though. It lines right up with 'fear' of not being liked, laughed at (because sometimes I'm funny), or that someone may not read it.

I'm pretty certain, my own husband doesn't read my blogs.
But I have this HUGE dream that one day I'll publish something.

Yesterday I wrote down a 100 goals I wanted to achieve within the next 10 years. Do you know how many times I wrote down I wanted to see my name in print, and be published? 18. In 17 different ways.
I didn't forget I had already written it down, it's just something I want THAT bad.
So, I guess with that, I'll publish on my blog, even the stuff I don't think anyone will read. I don't even know if my blog gets hits until I check back a month later.

Not that I don't care.. because isn't that what we do? Instant gratification? That's what Facebook is right? Or Instragram? If we don't have a certain amount of likes or hearts on IG within the first, um hour..? we delete it? I don't, (truth, I used to) but some do.
I notice some of my posts get more likes than others, but I have realized, it's the timing of the day.
Funny isn't it? I've just recently stopped to see traffic volume. And if you time it right, they see it. Whether or not they 'like' it... doesn't matter.
You have over 700 friends, and 24 likes.... seriously? Those other 'Friends' didn't see it? .....

Rejection.

Fear.

Scared.

Timid.

Do. It. Anyway.

Who. Cares!

I've been thin- size 5/6 thin ( never a 0... never a 2... it's called, booty and thighs, deal with it ), I've been pregnant, 3 times, 2 babies. I've been over weight where type 1 diabetes was a threat. And I've been healthy. Healthy is were I sit now. I know I've blogged this before, but I know I have over weight readers who want to reach out, and don't. Please don't hear me as bragging. Hear me as understanding. Because my inner fat girl is trapped . So I get you. I. Get. YOU! When I was 15 was my 'thin' it's not even thin really. It's teenager, where you don't realize what's cool, what's lame. ( you just think you know, you don't.. I promise, you really don't ) Well, at least, that was me. I was never cool. I was never the 'in crowd'. And while it sucked in high school, I'm really good now.  Nothing 5 years of therapy couldn't fix... When I was 16 when was pregnant. I gained SEVENTY FIVE pou...

Plant base

Okay... Okay. Before I get into the details. Here's my disclaimer. We are not 'Vegan' we are not 'Vegetarians'. We are on a plant based 'diet' for 2 weeks. We're testing the waters. We've watched a few shows, we've read several stats, and we've done some of our own research, we've heard first hand testimonies. So, we're trying it out. Day 3 is almost complete. I haven't felt bloated. And I have slept SO well. As soon as this week hits, I will go without alcohol too. So that added in, I think is going to amp up weight loss too. I do know that alcohol sabotages my weight loss. So I will cut that out too. However, weight loss isn't the goal of trying out plant base dieting. The goal is health. I was to be healthy on the inside as well as looking healthy on the outside. I can't wait to share results as they come!

We're Better Together in Sweet 16'

Happy Foodie post! I'm always excited to talk about food. Anything from a sweet tooth, to snacks, to entire meals for the family. A lot of ideas for our meals come from my pinterest account which can be found here,  my pinterest  You can find them under  Our way of life  or  Delish . There are healthy recipes in both....and there are two boards because when I first created my Pinterest account, I didn't realize how important it would be when I really started focusing on living a healthier lifestyle. However, with that being said, cheat meals are acceptable. ONCE a week. And no, not the entire day... we're talking a meal . Don't deprive yourself. (there is no cheat meal however, for my folks on a 10 day cleanse-- my fellow challengers) Let's begin! The Scott's are All In in Sweet 16' Because we're Better Together! (Is our motto for the year!) This is just my 10 day cleanse portion. I'll tell you what, and why. And also why I minimiz...
