A update on how the remainder of my 2021 went… Traveling – After the trip to Mexico, I also went to Atlanta and Memphis. Atlanta is always a good time when I visit.

Happy New Year!
Welcome to 2022! Time is flying by!
Beach Body
In a recent conversation with my therapist, I was telling him about my moment of sadness regarding my body, which sparked my previous post. I also told him I was going on vacation soon to a resort in Mexico. He asked if I was going to be comfortable going to the pool and beach, wearingContinue reading “Beach Body”
Affirming Myself… Again
I recently had a moment of frustration regarding my body and struggle with food. It happens… I just know I cannot stay in that self-hating state for long. I also have to realize I now have the tools or at least have access to the tools that will help me reach my goals. Again, theContinue reading “Affirming Myself… Again”
40; Forty; Four-Tee
June 18th, 2021 marked my 40th trip around the Sun. I’m still in awe, like “wow, I’m really 40”. As the date approached I was feeling good; no dread and no pity party. Some self-reflection occurred, which did lead to some slight negative thoughts, such as “damn, I’m turning 40 with no Bae or potentialContinue reading “40; Forty; Four-Tee”
Open!
As of today Chicago is fully open! Establishments can be at 100% capacity. Yay… I guess lol. Initially I felt the reopening and getting back to the pre-covid “normal” was happening so fast! Like, why are we in such a rush to get back to crowded brunches, bars, festivals, and other too-close-for-comfort events? My anxietyContinue reading “Open!”

Yes, I’ve done little projects around the house. Yes, I’m reading books. Yes, I’m taking a marketing class.Continue reading “I’m Bored”
Reset Progress!
It dawned on me that I didn’t do an update regarding my food Reset. The 10-day smoothie cleanse went great! Every smoothie recipe in the book was tasty; of course I had some favs. I did the full cleanse which consisted of three smoothies a day and healthy snacks between. My snacks consisted of carrots,Continue reading “Reset Progress!”
Do You Know What Today Is…
It’s my anniversary! Well not exactly today, I missed it by a few days, but yes, it’s been a year since I started this blog. Which also means it’s been a year since I started taking medication for my mental health. There’s still so much to talk about and talk through. Thanks for sticking withContinue reading “Do You Know What Today Is…”
Sexual Anxiety
Have my other posts been TMI? I don’t think so, but this one may very well be. I was listing to the WRYH Podcast (Who Raised You Hoes) a while back and there was an episode where the conversation turned to anxiety and sex. After listening to the guys share some of their experiences, itContinue reading “Sexual Anxiety”
