A Warm Mug Of Chai Tea And Charmed While I Work ☕️

SCREAM 2

I’ve only seen this one once, way back in the 1900’s.

Ten minutes in, I have thoughts

This takes place, what, 2 years after two teenagers brutally murder a bunch of other teenagers and, not only have they made a film about it, they are handing out ghost face costumes at the door. People are running around the theater pretending to murder each other for the entire length of the movie - or at least until someone is actually murdered.

Look, I’m not expecting realism in a slasher movie, but this is wild.

Also, Courtney Cox’s hair. Yeeew!

This isn’t an image thing - I’m fine with being squishy looking. But I’m feeling the negative effects of my squishiness. I just don’t feel good or comfortable of cozy. I feel sluggish and lazy and helpless. I want to change because

I have two small children and I don’t have the energy to give them all I can and it breaks my heart

I want to feel comfortable in my clothes

I want to live long enough to have a relationship with my adult children and grandchildren (if my kids choose to, or are able to, have them)

I am flying to Spain next year. I hate flying. I want to at least feel comfortable on such a long flight and not claustrophobic

I want to sleep better

I’m tired of my heels cracking under the pressure of my weight

I want to be able to fill my day with fun activity without feeling dead at the end of it.

I want to, hopefully, rid of my acid reflux

I want to feel good and healthy and active for as long and as late as I can in life

Time is going to pass anyway - I want to make the most of it

This has become a favorite comfort snack, especially when it’s cold. It’s like chicken and stars soup, but it’s homemade and it tastes better. Plus it’s super simple to make

A cozy little lunch, because healthy hobbits eat their veggies 🥗

I finished the second season of Good Omens last night and the Crowley - Aziraphale love story has shaken me to my core 😭 I need more immediately

We needed cheap and easy tonight so I got some rotisserie chicken and a baguette from the grocery store and made salad BECAUSE HEALTHY HOBBITS EAT BREAD.

I decided to stop posting calories alongside my meals. Again, this stuff is mostly for my own reference to make things easier for myself. Almost like creating a menu for myself to look back on. Anyway, if I post it, it’s somewhere in the range of 350-500. This was lunch- potatoes, peas, and chicken sausage. Yes, I’ve been eating potatoes every day. Because po-tay-toes.

For two weeks I’ve been eating more vegetables and fruits, cutting back on salt and alcohol, and eating less “overly processed” foods. Already I am sleeping better, having less anxiety and heart palpitations, and overall, I’m just feeling better. Huzzah!

So my six year old has been low key watching the LOTR films as I play them in the background while completing important tasks that use up a lot of my brain space.

Please note this child will not watch Disney movies because of the “scary parts”

Throughout the duration of the films she asks me back to back questions -with very complex and complicated answers.

I am equal parts proud, excited, and exhausted. Like, my brain is oozing from my ears - but I’m happy about it?

I am introducing my husband to Practical Magic tonight so naturally I got Halloween candy, lit every candle in the house, and made apple cider cocktails
