Introduction Text Accept what is; release what was; have faith in what will be. Take chances! Be bold, be silly, be weird! Make time for your wellness or you will be forced to make time for your illness. I'm still here. 2020 is my year to release this fat!! I am just so sick of myself and the same ol’ excuses every year, same ol fat me every year. Full Stop. Deep Breath. Release. My word of the year: Release. Release fat. Release bad habits. Release fears. Release clutter. Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without. I feel like a misplaced islander. I’m pretty sure I was a mermaid in a past life. I’m somewhat bohemian. bo·he·mi·an (bō-hē′mē-ən) n. A person with artistic or literary interests who disregards conventional standards of behavior. I’ve been on SP for a long time. I’ve lost and gained back a lot of weight over these years. Up, down, up, down, up.... This year I’m determined to lose the weight again, get fit, and get off this stupid roller coaster.

Health. Release 80 lbs this year. Specific weight goals along the way.... 199.8 - finally under 200 191 - I go from obese to overweight BMI 158 - I go from overweight to normal BMI 152 - goal by the end of 2020

~Keto: counting total carbs (made a BIG difference from counting net carbs) eating fish, shrimp, turkey, chicken, some beef and pork, cheese, small salads, a little broccoli, a little cauliflower, celery, half servings of nuts and a little red wine (I have a 4 oz glass). Right now I'm not eating much by way of fruits, but will, very occasionally have a couple of strawberries or an avocado (gotta watch those carefully, the carbs in fruit add up fast.) I have full fat Caesar dressing on my salads, use real cream in my coffee, real mayo in my tuna and cook with lots of real butter, coconut oil and olive oil. When I need a little chocolate, I have a square of 90% dark. ~Drink: Besides a little wine, I drink tea, coffee, an occasional Sprite Zero or Coke Zero, enjoy unsweetened flavored fizzy waters and try to drink at least 2 liters of water each day. Also recently discovered hard seltzers... Truly and Whiteclaw, both pretty darn good, low cal and low carb! ~Exercise: 30 min on ebike

Patronus: Fox Wand: Redwood with a Phoenix feather core 10 ¾" and Quite Bendy flexibility A few of my favorite quotes: "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." ~Maya Angelou “I am a question to the world, not an answer to be heard or a moment that's held in your arms. And what do you think you'd ever say? I won't listen anyway. You don't know me. And I'll never be what you want me to be.”~ John Rzeznik ~ Lyrics to I'm Still Here ~ Treasure Planet “I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, It's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities.” ~Dr. Seuss
