I Eat Everyday

     I made pumpkin soup and froze some for future me.       Thursday was a super annoying day ( I am writing this as I feel it). At work, everybody wanted something (I mean kids want something all the time) it was super annoying to remedy small situations between two small children or somebody coming to me wanting something that was nowhere to be seen. On top of that, my supervisor added another fifteen minutes to my time and didn’t say anything. One, I could have checked or two, she could have mentioned. After I finished covering my time, it gave me about 30 minutes to eat my lunch and get ready for my classes which I have 3.       I forgot to weigh myself, but my BGL was normal.      I am finally getting the hang of the quick turn when I swim. Finally, I finished a yoga session without thinking about my foot (maybe I thought about it twice?). Before, I always felt a little scared thinking what if I hurt it again. N...

       On Monday, I made Chicken Tikka Masala using the spices my friend gave me before she moved to another country. Unfortunately, I added too much chili powder, making it quite spicy. Nevertheless, it turned out delicious.       The other day, I visited a halal store and was thrilled to find large tortillas. I also bought frozen chapati but noticed that it contained a little bit of sugar. Next time, I will buy frozen naan instead.       Throughout the week, love was in the air, with chocolates everywhere. In previous years, I might have been tempted to buy some for myself and others. However, this year, I haven't felt inclined towards anything sugary.       As the weekend approached, I experienced some gas and was farting quite a bit (which was a bit embarrassing, but it's a normal occurrence). I had yakisoba, and I think that might have contributed to my discomfort.       Interestingl...

  One of my Health goals for the year is to decrease and eventually quit sugar. Pretty much everybody knows that sugar is not good for our health or we don't need to stay healthy.  Even before starting the challenge, I gave away everything that had sugar in them.  Last Sunday, I went for grocery shopping. That was the day I totally (to a degree) quit sugar. In the supermarket, it felt weird. It was strange not to buy any snacks that I usually buy. The whole feeling was that I wasn't following the usual rules of grocery shopping. Till now, when I went shopping, I would start by putting some veggies in my cart, some protein, and dairy, then I go to the middle aisles to put some snacks in my cart.  Before going into the supermarket, I reminded (like two people in my head started having a conversation) myself, that I was starting a new challenge. The challenge is to decrease and eventually sugar which means to snacks. So, I purchased what I needed plus a bunch of...

    Hello to the dear reader, and Happy New Year to you.      I wanted to thank you for reading this blog. I am so happy you find my writing interesting.       In January, several things happened. I turned 35, my sink tap broke off, and my family stayed with me until the mid-January. It was a busy month, and I couldn't get a moment for myself. Now, that I am alone in my apartment, I can do some thinking.       I watched some self-improvement videos and wrote down a few goals for the year.       In previous years, I would write down many things but never really accomplish them. Then, I would self-blame because I didn't achieve those things.       This year, I wrote down at most 3 things for each category on propose. I have five categories: Work, Health, Relationships, Brain, and Takes Time. As the name suggests, work, health, and relationships are straightforward. Under the Brain cate...
