Photo Challenge Days 15-21

I feel like a failure lol... I haven't done this in a week. So here's a week's worth of pictures!

Day 15 - A picture of something you want to do before you die
As if it wasn't already obvious, the one thing I want to do before I die is become a mom. I don't care about being a millionaire, having fancy things, or travelling the world. I would give everything up just to be a mom.




Day 16 - A picture of someone who inspires you
My little sister. No matter what comes her way, she is determined to succeed on her own. (She's the skinny one on the right)




Day 17 - A picture of someone who has made a huge impact on your life recently
She might be surprised to hear this, but the person that has made a huge impact on my life lately doesn't actually know me in real life. We are friends via blog and Facebook. Christina, from Mrs. O's Life, has been an amazing inspiration to me. Because of joining her PCOS group, I have found the help I needed to kick start my weight loss and start managing my PCOS better. Thanks, Christina :)



Day 18 - A picture of your biggest insecurity
This definitely has to be my weight. I'm tired of being the size I am, having difficulty finding clothes, and missing out on summer fun like swimming because I refuse to be seen in a swimsuit right now.



Day 19 - A picture and a letter.
This one didn't make much sense, so... Here's a picture of a letter. Perhaps one of my favorite letters :)



Day 20 - A picture of somewhere you'd love to travel
I have a laundry list of places I want to travel. I didn't want to give you one of the usual answers, so I chose Antarctica. Hubs and I love penguins - and I'd love to see them in their natural habitat, not just the zoo.



Day 21 - A picture of something you wish you could forget
Well if I had pictures, I wouldn't be able to forget, would I? If I had pictures, it would be of my ex-step-son, Mikey. The one thing I regret from the divorce was having to leave him. He was 17 months old when I met him. He started calling me 'Mom' before his mother, and to this day, there's not a moment that goes by where I don't miss him. It took me two years to finally delete the pictures of him from my computer. The last time I saw him, he was three and a half years old. He turns 7 this year.

Spend a few moments Happifying your life!

Several months ago I was given the opportunity to beta test a new program called Happify . It's designed to help you become happier with your life, and has plenty of studies to back up their science. I've been using it, although not as faithfully as I should. But I really have enjoyed testing out a lot of the different tracks to choose from. This week,   Happify  ent out of beta testing and is now open to the public. There are a lot of free tracks you can choose from, as well as some others you can get by upgrading to a paid membership. I recommend   Happify  o everyone I know that needs a little pick me up from day to day. It has been helping me find my way towards satisfaction with myself and my life the way it is. It has also helped me to expand my horizons and learn how to be even happier. It's a great program. Currently I'm working on the paid track 'Get Motivated to Get Fit'. Right now it's exactly what I need - a way to focus on my health without ...

Cortisol and Leptin...

Photo credit I feel so run down. I felt like this most of last week, and ended up taking 3 days off work due to it. This weekend was better - We went to Houston. We spent several hours enjoying the Downtown Aquarium on Saturday, and I enjoyed my PCOS symposium on Sunday. But as soon as I got in the car to head home, this feeling came back. It was so bad that I tossed my cookies less than an hour after we got on the road. This was definitely not from being car sick. I don't get car sick. I was tired all evening, had stupid issues with my homework, and finally went to be at 2-2:30. I realize that was late, and it could explain why I'm tired, but it doesn't explain the run-down, crappy feeling. I got plenty of sleep last week and still felt this way. I think it could be a cortisol issue. I have high cortisol levels. I know I haven't checked with a doctor, but from the information I received at the PCOS symposium, as well as years of research, it fits. I did some more re...

My First Giveaway!

My last post was about my decision to start a bakery. I'm very excited about it, and have been getting some fantastic reviews from my taste testers! My menu is small right now, but I am continually working on new recipes to expand it. I'm currently attempting to make a really good gluten free sandwich bread that doesn't have corn, potato, white rice, or soy in it. I hope to have it done by opening day, Nov 1. I know it's weird to open on a Tuesday, but I plan to be very busy celebrating our 2 year wedding anniversary on Halloween by scaring little kids :) I figured one of the best ways to advertise the bakery was to have a blog giveaway. So that's exactly what I'm doing! One lucky reader will receive a $20 gift certificate to I Can't Believe It's Good For Me. The giveaway is open until midnight, Oct. 31. The winner will be chosen by random.org and announced on Nov 1. Here are the rules: 1 - You must complete the mandatory entry. 2 - Post each entr...
