Hi!!! I hope you all are enjoying your Saturday. It is hotter than Hades where i am.

So Mom’s wedding is tomorrow then we load the uhaul’s and head out!

I’ve been pretty busy so a long book wasn’t in the cards, when i was at Barnes and Noble a week and a half ago i saw a whole bunch of 30 second books that looked really interesting. I chose anataomy because really there is no bad knowing how your body works and i am pleased to say that it was facinating!! And very easy to follow and comprehend. I look forward to reading more in this series, maybe i’ll finally figure out what the heck quantum physics is!!!!!

Here is a link to the book on amazon. It is the same cost for the actual book at Barnes and Noble as the kindle edition is.

Are you going to pick up a 30 second book? If so, tell me which one and if you like it or not.

Happy Wednesday!!!

So my coworkers have talked me into doing this 21 days sugar detox with them hahahaha. Normally i am not a big DIET person, or detox person for that matter, i believe more in lifestyle changes. That being said i think we here in America, especially, consume way to much sugar, it is in everything!!! So ill do the “extreme” crazy diet then slowly add some of the things back in as i want to.

Also i am not doing the normal 21 day detox, i am letting myself have more fruit than they say becuase its summer and there is a lot of beautiful fresh fruit, i will make it so i only eat organic and from the farm though.

Saturday i fly back to Nevada for my mom’s wedding and to pack the rest of my stuff so all next week will be eating whatever is available while we pack. When i get back around/after July 4th i will start the full 21 days.

You can look here and here for some ideas about the 21 day sugar detox.

It is actually not as horribly bad as i thought it would be.

Here is as an example of the diet, oh and since ill be working out a lot i decided i will eat poatotes if i want to, but only homemade products made by me from real potatoes.

Breakfast: protien drink that is low carb and no added sugar. I also had french vanilla flavored coffee with full fat cream and no sugar. (the flavored coffee helped lessen the no sugar part for me)

Snack: a small banana, salad (mix of iceburg, veggies and romaine) with small strips of grilled chicken and pico de gallo for dressing, ready pack of organic apples, leftover corn with a smidge of butter garlic and pepper and some baby carrots.

The snacks were spread throughout the day.

Lunch: boneless, skinless, organic chicken thigh with brown rice. Flavored with italian seasoning, lemon juice, garlic and wine that had all the alcohol cooked out of it.

Dinner: Grilled Tilapia with potatoes and green beans

Are you going to try the sugar detox?

Hi all!!!

Here is the link to this book on amazon.

I loved this book, it is so sweet. Katie is a teenage girl who feels called to go to Africa on mission work and she falls in love with the place and the people. She goes back and starts a ministry, adopts kids, and changes the lives of many people.

Funny thing is, i am not Christian and i LOVED this book. Yes it is heavy on the religious but it’s a wonderful book no matter what religion you are and has a wonderful message.

This is the true story of a wonderful woman. If this book doesn’t inspire you to get out and do something for other people, even if it is just donating money or volunteering in a soup kitchen, then i don’t know what will. It certainly makes me want to help more people.

If you read the book tell me what you think.

This is one book that will remain in my bookcase for many years.

If you would like to visit Katie’s blog here is the link.
