Pleasant and Comforting Naptime

I forgot to mention that I lost more weight today! I'm looking forward to weighing myself again tomorrow..I did go to sushi for lunch which was kind of scary because I am so used to eating lots of rice when I go. But, it was great! I had an albacore salad and salmon sashimi with lemon and a little bit of salt (Cheater!!!)...for dinner I had this yummy Fattoush salad with lemon and Sumac, an herb used to give a "lemony" flavor ( I thought I was the only one that used that word but I read it on wikepedia!) My mom makes it with toasted Pita Bread (usually from leftover bread that's about to go stale) but I asked her to put mine in a separate bowl without the extra carbs...


I added avocado to give it some extra flavor, the greens are purslane, lots of chopped green onions, tomatoes,green bell peppers ,cucumber,mint and sumac sprinkled on top. (she also used olive oil and salt which makes it yummier but I still loved my version)

I'm having chamomile tea and I think it's working! I'm getting really sleepy .........
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ........................spin class in the morning!

Got to the Finish Line

I am finally done with my spring cleaning! What an empowering feeling this has been! So my last 3 categories were clothes, jewelry and pictures. Clothes surprisingly did not take me that long.

Let's say I'm going out for a night out and I try on some shoes and they just don't fit right anymore, or look outdated...out they go. It feels so good to only have things I love and getting ready is so simple. As far as jewelry, it took me an entire day but well worth it. I found some beautiful pieces I had completely forgotten about. The pictures also took an entire day. I sorted them by year and just filed them and put the folders away in a cute box I had. I got rid of duplicates and many other pics like scenery or something that I really didn't care for. I plan on going in and maybe making albums or clearing out more pics but I'm a little pooped for now. The jewelry felt...

The F word

Like most women today I let my work take over my life and didn't bother finding my soul mate until I was near my 40s.  Sounds good right? Um not really, men suck these days so I got super lucky is the real deal. We both knew when we met that our goal was to have a baby ASAP, after marriage. It was like a fairy tale well sort of in my fairy tale the princess went to therapy. I quickly got pregnant within a couple months which was great. Cut to my daughter turning almost four and us trying to get pregnant again. I realize this is a hush-hush topic for many but why? It's not easy and it's a crappy feeling finding out all the time that you are again "not pregnant". I love doing research maybe it's the sociologist in me but I learned so much about my own body and ovulation etc. Our bodies are seriously the most fascinating little machines and there is so much going on. I tried all those little ovulation tests which honestly drove me crazy along with taking early pr...
