Just Breathe

This week has been hard for me psychologically. From watching my body go haywire to simply not feeling like myself. Luckily, I have the most loving and nurturing husband who held me and simply told me to "breathe." It actually works.

Just now he took me on a walk and I was able to do just that. I was able to see that I'm just like every other woman out there who is worried about one thing or another because ultimately we know everything is out of our control. I realized I have to have faith and trust that Diosito and La Virgensita know what they're doing. I have to believe that everything is going to be alright.

I mean seriously, I can't be stressing myself over every little thing. I'm also going to limit my goggling of things because seriously, that's a disaster waiting to happen. LOL.

30 Day Challenge-Day 2

DAY 2-How Have You Changed in the Last Two Years?

• I've changed a whole lot from two years ago. I truly feel like I'm a completely different person.I no longer say yes to everyone's requests. For example, for a long time I stopped whatever I was doing or change my plans to accommodate my family or friends. I did it because I loved them or cared for them, but it became extremely exhausting.

• I took charge of my health. I was letting PCOS beat me. I was letting PCOS define who I would be. Now I'm much healthier and happier. I began working out and eating much healthier. Before it would be nearly impossible for me to lose a single pound, but now I can honestly say I've been able to figure out the trick to living with PCOS and lose weight. It's hard, but I've been quite successful. God has granted me the strength and willpower to succeed.

• I look different. I've lost 37 pounds and counting. Because of PCOS I lived for many years with dark blotches all over my skin. It was embarrassing! Now I only have a small patch on my chest that's slowly fading away. I am so happy to finally look normal. It really is the little things that make me happy :)

• I'm happier. Not that I wasn't before, because God had always blessed me with a loving family, but I'm HAPPIER. I'm certainly more confident and self-assured than ever before. As I type this I can't help, but feel good about my accomplishments. 

I'm glad I made these changes. (Excuse me while I pat myself on the back!...LOL)

30 Day Challenge-Day 1

Yesterday as I was bored to death going through my Twitter timeline I came up on a link for a 30 day Challenge. It looked like a good one, so I'm gonna take it on. should be fun :)


DAY 1-Weird things you do when you're alone
When I'm alone I'm at my most comfortable. I'll dance and sing while cleaning. Sometimes if I'm really into it I'll even interview myself. You know as if I was a famous celebrity... lol. I've done that since I was little. I really do get a kick out of it. And sometimes, on hot humid days I'll walk around naked just to prove to myself that I can do it. Weird. I know. LOL.

So let me tell you where this is going...

Tomorrow I go back to work. Ughhh. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy my job, but let's face it. . .I enjoy being off much more. Hehehe. Any who, I hope that I am able to keep up with this blog because sometimes it gets super hard and life just gets in the way. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but it's always good to have a place to vent and chill. I want this to be that place. We'll see. Any who, I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter and Spring Break. I know I did. I got to spend it with my lovely family. . .and while I'm on the subject of Easter it got me thinking that I need to go to church. Not that I want to live inside one every day, but there's just so much to learn. I haven't been to one since I was a tween. . .and back then I didn't want to go because my family was just forcing me to go. Seriously peeps, if you have kids don't force them. . specially if YOU are not going! Well, that's a completely another story. But yeah, I'd like to go. Maybe I should bring it up to my hubby. He's great, so I'm sure he'll support me. I kind of feel like I'm just rambling. AND I am! Ha! So hey, did you guys feel the quake earlier today. They say 7.2 by the border! Scary stuff!! I'm pretty used to quakes, but this one creeped me out because it kept going. It wasn't harsh at all down here in Los Angeles, but it lasted at least a minute. Felt like I was on a boat. In fact, I have to admit I actually had a panic attack! I just wanted to get fresh air. It was WEIRD! LOL.

Well, enough rambling. . .time to get to bed. . .another day awaits!

Love,

Sandrah

Life is Beautiful. . . .really. . .it is.

Lately I've been anxious to LIVE life. I'm not talking about living life. I'm talking about LIVING life! Really, I admit up to maybe a month or so ago I've been simply imagining how wonderful life could be, but I have decided to stop day dreaming and actually get up and smell the roses. . .literally. Not that I haven't enjoyed my life. . .but I think I've just been stuck in my comfort zone and haven't really done anything amazing. . .There is just so much out there and it's easy to become overwhelmed with it all. But I'm slowly opening up and indulging in everything I come in contact with. It's funny how before I wouldn't even treat myself to a little dessert and now the meals are not complete if I don't taste something sweet. Of course I end up working my ass off after-wards to cancel out the necessary calories =). Ha, but that's just a small example of what I mean. Life is just so lovely, and I'm glad I'm finally savoring it.
