I had hoped to update the blog in a few weeks to say I would be moving into my new home, and start my new job but unfortunately with land issues, and this declining economy that dream came to an end in march. Everything was looking great until I got a call from the realtor to say you don’t want to build here, and I was like why. She said the land was in a flood zone and others had complained about their foundation was moving due to really bad erosion. So after I found that out, then I found out that my potential job offer was no more as well too. Plus I knew it was going to be hard to sell a home too, so I put off everything for now and kept looking toward the future. A lot has happened since march, good and bad. I have to look at it this way, Doors closes for a reason, but better opportunities or doors will open up at the right time.

Yes this year marks my 10th year of living on my own. I was just in my early 20s at the time and decided to finally leave my parents home. I still called their home “home” because my stuff was still there, but I was gone. I started in the middle of 99 staying off and on with a few friends, going to school(college), working, etc. and going “home” to visit for a couple of days. It was not until around early 2000 when I moved out for good. Meaning My stuff, and I were gone from my parents home for good. Then I would only go back “home” to be an overnight guest, go for dinner, or to just stop by to visit.
Wow, lot has changed since those 10 years has passed too. Just feels like yesterday actually. Time flies by so quick sometimes.
It’s been a year or so and I’m still continuing on with my healthy eating regiment. I’m trying to eat mostly all vegetarian meals these days too. As most will remember I had to go back to eating some meat, due to not getting enough protein in my diet. Beans, Soy products, and supplements were not working for me.
I try to eat any meals with meat as little as possible, though I wish I could find an alternative to get enough protein so I could be completely on a vegetarian diet. I also eat mostly all organic or home grown fruits, and veggies these days too. I have to say I feel much better and have a lot of energy too. I also do a lot of cooking at home these days too, rather than going out to eat, since it’s healthier for me to fix my favorite take out dishes. However, I still go out sometimes too hehehe. I also try to get to Places like Trader Joes, Earth Fare, or Whole foods to buy groceries and try my best to buy very little from our local chain stores.
I’ve also have switched from drinking 2 or three sodas a day to only 1 soda a day with no caffeine. Plus I’m now Interested in drinking different teas other than regular “sweet tea”. Plus once in a while I will have my fav coffee from Starbucks or the Local place. Which is a White mocha or Vanilla Latte or White Mocha Frapp,( depends on my mood or season) that is a treat just once in a while or if I need the caffeine if I’m pulling an all nighter for work.
Plus I’m trying to be more active these days from riding my mountain bike to walking ever chance I get. All in all this healthy living for me is making me feel a lot better than before. Now I wish I started this way of living a long time ago.
