Renewed

Okay, so I had stopped blogging.  Some people had expressed negativity and I decided it just wasn't worth it.  But lately I have decided I was wrong.  Their negativity was not worth it.  My journey is worth it.  If you don't care about my weightloss/health journey then don't visit the blog.  I didn't bookmark it on your computer...

So recently a family member had some negative comments about my physical appearance and weight.  I admit my oldself, Neene1.0 would have sought solace in food.  I would have inhaled ice-cream and candy.  The newer version of me, Neene 2.0, decided to renew my motivation on my health journey.

I made a cucumber sandwich instead. Take that negative thoughts! Yes, cucumber sandwiches growing up were an earmark of summer and relaxed living.  I thoroughly enjoy them.  So instead of Haagen Dazs I had a Health Dinner.  This weekend I visited the local farmer's market.  I got fresh mini-cucumbers to enjoy.  What a treat!

Tonight's latest health find... Crystal Light, long a favorite of dieters, has now started making another line of drinks.  Crystal Light - Pure.  I am learning to treat myself with healthier options.  So I am curling up on the couch with a nice glass filled with Strawberry-Kiwi Crystal Light Pure. I am determined to bring more purity to my life and avoid the negativity and additives that are so common in today's foods.

Here's to a healthier me in a few more months.  If you too are on your own health/wellness journey, Here's to you as well!
