  • Thrive No More

    I kept going back and forth about Thrive…I do still take the supplement.  I’m on the fence as to whether or not I’ll continue long-term.  I guess it depends on what else I find.  I usually forget to wear the patches. I discontinued the shakes again when I became vegan since they are whey-based.  I…

  • So I didn’t post for a month…

    …but that doesn’t mean there hasn’t been a lot (too much!) going on!!! This year has been one of so many changes!! Kayla got engaged, moved out, and will be married in December. Jake turned 18, finally got his license, got his first girlfriend, graduated, decided not to go to college for now, and started…

  • Body Image?

    A friend posted something about how many American women hate their bodies and it got me thinking ~ I really don’t hate my body ~ at least not the way it looks. I might hate the way it works, with all my metabolic issues, PCOS, psoriatic arthritis, asthma, allergies and diabetes. I guess after over…

  • Where did August go? And Thrive Update…

    I know this is a pattern…but WOW.  I can’t believe it’s August 31st! My pantry challenge was not as successful as I’d envisioned, but I do definitely see a pretty good dent in what we’ve got hoarded away.  I would say we used about half of what we had when the month began. I shopped…

  • Thinking about that next visit…

    Periods.  It’s a shame it’s still so taboo to talk about them, since all women of child-bearing age have to deal with this! I mentioned we’re going to Disneyland next month for our 23rd anniversary.  This is only the third time in our 23 years of marriage that we’re going to be away from the…

  • Day Six Thrive Update

    I ran out of the capsules a few days ago…but I’ve had enough shake mix and patches to see me through.  My order finally arrived at about noon today (it only took two days to get here, but I ordered late in the day so technically three…and it seemed like forever!) and I told K…
