Sick & Tired, But Coffee (& recipe)

I’m home from work today with a sick 4 year old. 😩

We were on our way to work/school when he started vomiting. It was AWFUL. Cleaning puke is bad, but cleaning puke out of the car is even worse! Then it started ...from the opposite end. Ahhh! Thank goodness we still have pull-ups in the closet!

Needless to say, Momma is TIRED. We snuggled in bed for a while, then I decided I needed coffee. I was really craving cinnamon dolce from Starbucks, but obviously I’m not leaving the house (& also I’m not spending money right now). So I made some cinnamon syrup & I made some iced coffee in my French press. It turned out AMAZING!

Cinnamon Dolce syrup recipe:

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 regular sugar

1 cup water

1tbs cinnamon (or less if you don’t want it strong tasting)

1tsp vanilla bean powder

Bring to a boil & let boil for a few minutes. Cool & add as much as you’d like to your coffee!

So so sooo good!

It has a ton of sugar so I won’t use as much since I’m on a weight loss journey. It’s a good treat though!

Hope y’all have a great Wednesday!

No matter what happens in life, be good to people. Being good to others is a wonderful legacy to leave behind.

You have to trust yourself enough to believe that you’re gonna get better and come up from it all

Y'all, it’s been FOREVER. I absolutely NEED to blog again. Tumblr helped me so much in the past. So here is my newest adventure.

I have debated so hard on whether or not to post this. I’m still working on loving myself. I hate seeing myself full body. I can’t wait to get passed that.
BUT here it is. I have completed Core De Force! This program is a LIFE CHANGER. I’m not exaggerating. I could have gotten better results physically had I followed the meal plan, but I made excuses & ate unhealthy foods most of the time. 
What this program did for me most of all was mental & emotional changes. I persisted. Never gave up. I spent time soul searching. I did things for ME. Things that made ME happy. 
I will do another round of Core De Force. I will go full force because I want to see what more my body & mind can do!

I have been doing this for far too long. True changes happening in my life. Slowly, but surely.

Cheating doesn't work.

Seriously. If you "cheat" with a lifestyle change, you are only cheating yourself. & that's not cool, right? Because you know the truth. So its pointless. Don't cheat yourself. If you make a mistake, own it. EVERYONE makes mistakes. You just get back on the wagon & fix your mistake! One day at a time!! xo T

At the gym.

Yesterday went amazing. Weigh in sucked, but I gathered my thoughts & plans & out then into action. Even had Olive Garden yesterday & stayed on track with weight watchers points. Had the soup & salad & yes, I had two breadsticks for 8 points. Lol Even got just an iced coffee at Starbucks instead of my usual 500 calorie drink. Proud! Now I'm at the gym while my son is in child watch area. I've totally got this. I'm going to do great!

My first fashion show makeup last night! Was so cool to be behind the scenes. (: They had healthy foods for us to eat, but I waited until I got home to eat. Definitely didn't get a workout in last night or this morning! I need to step up my game even on busy days.

So here's the deal.

New life. Starts now. You cannot complain about things & get depressed about things, yet not do anything to change. It just doesn't make sense. I am now pre-diabetic. I cannot continue down this route. For myself, but also for my son. He deserve to have a happy, healthy mother. I'm seeing a therapist. I've got to get NY mind healthier as well. So I'm changing. No more talk with no show. We are making changes in our whole family. We all need to lead happier, healthier lives. Please, continue to stick around for this new journey. I'm going to need some friendly support. Especially if you are going through the same things as me. We've got this. Let's make a change. Make it today. No more excuses. No more "I'll start tomorrow". Start today. Start now. xo T
