Back to Basics

I was having a conversation with my mom and we were talking about doing things how we used to. One of the things we used to do was can most of our fruits and vegetables so that we would not be eating the store bought version that was high in things our bodies just did not need. I am actually looking forward to doing that. It made me think that I really need to get myself together so that I can make my soap.

I have the ingredients to make my laundry detergent but I think I need to start thinking about making my dish detergent and body soap. It will definitely be better for my eczema. Initially I know the cost will be kind of high but the benefits will outweigh the cost in the long run.

Something to really think about and see what I can do to make it happen.

New Challenge!

Well tomorrow I start a new challenge for not only my fitness but hopefully by digestion. I am looking forward to seeing what I can make happen. I am tired of feeling nauseous all the time so I think it is time to try something different.

This challenge will be about drinking my water as well as eating and exercising. The one thing is now I will be held accountable which I think is something I need to remain focused regardless of how my day seems to be going. I have been looking for that type of support. It is difficult trying to lose weight and everything around seems to be falling apart.

Another step I am going to take will be to start planning my meals and writing them out to see how I stick to what I should be eating and doing. I want to look good in my dresses again. There are a few things I would like to purchase but that is just not possible right now.

Hopefully I will find some recipes that I can share or create my own and see how they work out. I think the hardest part will be limiting my dairy. I drink almond milk but I don't always like it in my cereal. There is nothing standing in my way except me so here is to a new beginning.
