Wonder Woman

My last blog was all about my crafty life, things I sewed, things I stitched, meals I cooked, goodies I baked and a little bit about my personal life.
A year ago when I discovered a healthier way of life, everything changed. I decided that I would give it my all, no distractions, no excuses.

So I dove right in, head first and became immersed in changing my life.

I didn't expect the outcome however. I ate well and never cheated, beat my cravings for "goodies", stopped letting food run my life and emotions, and unlike all other attempts at losing weight and getting healthy this time, it was a perfect storm...it just clicked!

What I wasn't prepared for was the way I became much more confident than I ever remember being, the way I felt brave and strong.
I felt as though there was nothing I could be faced with that I couldn't handle...and this from someone who had suffered from depression and a general negative outlook for just over 15 years.

Suddenly, I was suggesting the adventure! I was feeling like I could leap tall buildings in a single bound...this was COOL!
My husband has nicknamed me Wonder Woman

I'm still trying to get used to the boundless amounts of energy, the general happy feeling, and best of all the fact that my immune system seems iron clad. I haven't been sick in a year! Not a sniffle, ache or pain.

This blog will be alot about me in general, what I eat, what I do for fun, my successes and failures and there will also be some crafting thrown in at some point, I guarantee it :)

I'm going to grab a snack for hubby and I while we relax on the couch and watch a romantic flick. I think I'll grab some olives, pickled cauliflower, sausage and goat cheese...a little 90% dark chocolate may find it's way onto said plate <wink>

Happy Weekend!
