A Happy Surprise….

I signed up for a free app called, “noom vibe,” and so far it’s helping me keep my word. It’s an app that helps you lose weight. You don’t have to do it alone, rather it’s with family or friends or friends online. 

I have never liked drinking water and today was the first time I ever drank six cups of water, as was suggested by this app. I may only be able to do this when I am at home, but I am proud of myself for doing it.

I noticed one thing today? I rather drank warm water. One would think I was boiling water for tea all day, but they would have been wrong. I meant to add some lemon in one of these cups. 

I once told my doctor I was drinking water with lemon in it and my eyes opened when she asked, “why”? I couldn’t believe I had to tell her lemons are good for vitamin C.  I am laughing. I didn’t bother to tell her I was also drinking: lemon, ginger and turmeric powder at least twice a week. Oh, I almost forgot the black pepper. I either do a shot or add some hot water for tea. I will add an article that can say more on how good this taggy drink is for you..

I went for a walk earlier, one short workout, and I want to do one more before it gets too dark. I had to stop looking at the big picture, because there wasn’t any motivation. That picture actually stopped me from wanting to move forward.

One has to start from the beginning before one can get to the end. I am smiling, because I know I can reach my goal. I never thought I would drink so much water, workout more than once a day, or even sit down long enough to do some meditation.

Oh before I forget. On this enjoyable app there is, “fiton” and they give you a list of things you can do at all levels. If you have Roku you can also add it to your TV

For a better view.  Have fun for a better you.

A New Bag…

This is the first time I didn’t repack my yarn in my bag and then in a rush I grabbed my bag and ran out of the door.

I feel a little lost without my yarn. For some strange reasons I have no Internet, so I cannot play my games on my phone, and waiting in a hospital room is no fun, when you are ready to go home.

I will pack myself an emergency bag, so this won’t happen again. It may not be my current project, but at least I will be able to keep my hands moving and my mind focusing on something else.

A Short Thought…

One cannot but smile when you realize you are still getting closer and closer to setting your dreams free. You are trying not to laugh out loud and scream, “I told you so”. I wouldn’t do that, and I am thinking about keeping my success a secret…….

Finishing what I Started

As I sip on my hot water thinking about my next step. Then I remember what I had started writing and why I stopped adding on to my, “Online Traveling Blog?” I didn’t find anything that caught my attention.

I stopped in Mississippi and my next stop is Missouri. I don’t know what I will find, but I am hoping to find something interesting to do and see there.

And, this is the new me? I may not finish a full storyline in one day, but my goal is to write or type something everyday.

Just like when I am crocheting and I have told others “Every stitch counts, because they will get you closer to ending your project,” when asked why I crochet on the bus. 

The more you write or type, and each word will add to your story.

Beyond PayCheck to PayCheck..

The idea of owning your own business sounds like a good idea, but with so much work behind that closed door – has me rethinking this new idea. I had an idea of the amount of work that goes into owning your own business and thought I looked more into it.

I have heard this more than once, “Once you start using your gift as a business, you may not want to create anymore,” but I find that hard to believe. I will always crochet if there is enough light and I am able to sit for a few minutes, how can I not crochet? 

I am not going to think about that right now, because I got these two projects. I can’t wait to get started. I am  still frogging one bag full. I know I said I wasn’t going to do that again, but this time it wasn’t one of my projects. This was yarn that was given to me and this doesn’t count.

The multi-colored yarn is thicker than I normally work with and I was surprised it’s actually as soft as the simple soft yarn. I wish I knew its name, but that’s cool. I  am going to have to double the simple soft yarn together in order for it to work with this new yarn, but that’s cool.

I am not going to give up on starting my own business, because I have faith in myself to be better tomorrow then I am today. I do plan on traveling again and enjoying my life to its fullest and that means going past paycheck to paycheck..
