Confession: acknowledgment; avowal; admission

So, here goes…
Since it’s been obvious via my Facebook wall that something hasn’t been right

First though, I want to say Thank YOU to my friends who’ve been here for me…
via text, email, phone, DM, Facebook, etc.
Without them (and y’all know who you are!) I’d be lost right now
and of course thanks to my family as well…

Moving on…

I’ve not been dealing with stress (financial, physical and personal) very well at all…
Which is ironic since I am certified in Stress Management.
But, applying everything I know to my own life isn’t as easy as helping others with theirs apparently!

Remember (for those who’ve known me awhile) back in October had some hamstring issues
missed the Pretty Muddy Mud Run
couldn’t workout
didn’t let it heal properly
had severe nerve damage
lost feeling in my little piggy toe (to this day I still have no feeling in it)
well now I’m dealing with Sciatica on top of re-injuring hamstring
So…

Confession:
I haven’t been in gym for 2+ weeks
and am hobbling around in constant pain
Not good!

Then some personal and financial issues set me off the deep end this past week…

Confession:
I totally destroyed my body…

Did a lot of emotional eating
damn those non-magical emotions (as a good good friend of mine calls them)…
because of those I just threw in the towel and ate…and ate…and ate…
and not even good food
junk and my nemesis (Reese’s PB cups)
I destroyed my immune system apparently because last weekend I got sick (high fever, sore throat, cough, blah) for first time in forever.
Though I guess I didn’t totally destroy it, since I managed to get over it all within 3 days without the help of any meds or anything.

Confession:
I am a recovering bulimic & compulsive eater
I’ve been from one end to the other (from 113 to 199–yes I did in fact get up to 199)
I’m back up to 143 lbs…
ummmm my goal is 118
soooooooooooooooo ya see where I have to go from here
I’ve got lots to lose…
tone…build…define…again…
Am I going to beat myself up over the gain again?
No…
can’t…
won’t…
that’s self defeating and won’t change what I did.
But, I’m looking at the progress I’ve made…
Even though I’ve made the same progress multiple times now…
(ya know….lose it, almost hit goal, then I screw it up, gain part of it back, start all over again)
And focusing on the goal…
getting serious and staying devoted this time

I have big goals
I will compete
I will do more
I will be better
I will keep going

Now, once again… my head is in the game…
So…no more excuses!
no more blaming relationships, finances, stress, etc. on my taking my eye off the goal…
no more!

Note to myself and everyone else out there:

No matter what others may say or think
No matter what you’re going through
You have to believe in yourself!
And, if you fall…
get up again!

Been doing a lot of thinking lately…
probably too much!

I’ve failed again at staying focused on my goals…
I’ll admit it.
I’ve been putting in maybe 70% effort…
if that.
But, I’m refocusing…
Not going to fail…

I’ve fallen…
but I AM getting up!
Nothing is going to keep me down

source

There is no failure except in no longer trying.
~Elbert Hubbard

source

What doesn’t work:
giving partial effort (if you do things half ass then you’ll get half ass results–as I’ve done lately)
not being consistent
not focusing
eating unhealthy
not working out regularly
…just to name a few things

So…
once again…
I’m getting up and starting again.
I will achieve my goals!

What are YOU doing to achieve your goals?

If you’ve missed the other posts about Cravers Chicken, you can read them here.

Today I’m talking about convenience…
anything that saves or simplifies work, adds to one’s ease or comfort, etc., as an appliance, utensil, or the like.

That’s what Cravers Chicken frozen products do…
offer a convenience to every day chaotic life…
simplifying meal time but still providing good tasting food…
just easier…

Since doing real estate, my already crazy schedule has gotten crazier.
Providing minimal time to really prepare meals like I used to.
With Cravers Chicken I can easily have a meal go from freezer to plate in about 30 minutes!
With no prep time!
That’s the best part, and they don’t sacrifice quality and flavor for convenience.

I can open a bag (or box)
put the chicken on the baking tray…

and within half an hour…

and I can dig in and enjoy a satisfying filling flavor filled meal without any prep work or mess.
That’s what I’m talking about!
A huge time saver and Cravers Chicken tastes home cooked.
Right now, the less I have to do in the kitchen the better off I am.
I’m luvin’ all the products I’ve tried so far and when I have non-stop loooong work days I’ll simply grab a frozen Cravers Chicken item from the freezer and know that in 30 minutes or less I’ll be eating a tasty meal.

I luv me my Cravers Chicken
I can make a meal that will not sicken
Making Cravers is a
time saver(s)

With my warped thought process I went from power to overcome to flashbacks of 1990 and Snap’s The Power
When this song came out I was modeling at World Of Wheels Car show for Big G Tire in Hialeah and customizing my truck and enjoying life…

and now…
I’m working as a realtor, working on some major goals (which is where this post started off but then got side tracked) and trying to enjoy life.
hmmmm I need to really focus on the quote above and perhaps get my power back to where it was in 1990!

For the past month I’ve been talking about Cravers Chicken…
and sharing all the convenient yumminess of their products with you.

If you missed it, here’s a brief recap of the crowd pleasing BBQ & Orange Snack Cravers which are great for snacking, dinner, parties…

The filling and satisfying Cordon Bleu with mouths full of cheese, ham and tender chicken.

Lest we overlook the easy finger food…
Chicken Fries (kids of all ages will enjoy!)

Last night, I had a girlfriend over who had the Stuffed Broccoli & Cheese and was pleasantly impressed and is going to get some for herself and her household!

I’m not sure if the Spicy Chicken Tenders are my favorite so far or not but its def high up there on my likes! I love anything spicy! And these are tender and juicy.

For more palate pleasing snacks and quick dinners, we had the Honey BBQ & Chicken Parm. Both of which are delish!

The Pepper Jack, Swiss Cheese and Bacon along with Spicy Buffalo & Ranch rank high up in my likes too…shoot I’ve thoroughly enjoyed each of the Cravers Chicken products I’ve had so far.

They truly are good quality, convenient (which is a huge plus for me right now with my insane schedule), affordable (and c’mon who doesn’t like that?!).
Chicken’s a good source of protein and other nutrients and Cravers Chicken offers a seriously satisfying variety of easy to prepare chicken products!

Stay tuned for more of their products coming up this week!

Your greatest resource is your time.
Brian Tracy

Now, if other people would grasp that concept!

That tweet pretty much says it all.

I’ve yet to understand why people think their time is more important than mine?
WHY?

Beginning to see a pattern here?
This one wasn’t too bad, I kept myself occupied (obviously)

Though the first one which was earlier today, I’m less than thrilled
Maybe because it’s Easter, a holiday, I’d already driven from the west end of the county to furthest east one can go (the beach!) and back west again…

But, seriously…
my time is just as valuable as the next person’s
We all get 24 hours every day and I’d like to use mine effectively
not sitting waiting…
waiting…
waiting…
waiting…

Time = life; therefore, waste your time and waste of your life, or master your time and master your life.

ok…mini rant is over…

Question of the day
Do you allow yourself enough time to get places on time?

Its that time of week again….
more chicken from Koch Foods who makes the Cravers Chicken product line!
You did see the big assortment I got from Cravers Chicken a  few weeks ago right?

This time I tried the Snackers BBQ & Orange Chicken.

So easy to prepare!

Open the bag and you’ve got a big bag of chicken along with individual packets of BBQ and Orange Sauce.
You just warm up the sauces in warm water while the chicken cooks in the oven.

These would be great for Super Bowl parties, but why wait til football season’s here again (that’s a long way away still)
Just enjoy these for dinner or snacking.
Kids and adults will enjoy the orange sauce or the tangy honey BBQ sauce.
You can mix the chicken in with the sauce or just dip the chicken!

These are sure to please young and old alike.
They go from freezer to table in about half an hour.
So, after a long hard crazy day at work (I have plenty of those!) you can throw together a quick filling tasty meal with these Snackers from Cravers Chicken!

3 pieces contain about 13g of protein and 200 calories (without sauce)
They’re tender and juicy and the sauces are delish!

If y’all haven’t been reading this blog for long you won’t know that our fav quick get away is to Naples
90 minutes away from here is like another world!

Yesterday Christa wanted to go to Naples, so…
packed up the car and off we went…
enjoyed the beach (even though it was windy and we got sand blasted for part of the morning)
ate on the beach
took our sandy bodies back over here to the east side in the evening

Question of the day
Where do you go for a quick get away?

Yep, more chicken from Koch Foods who makes the Cravers Chicken product line!

The Cravers Cordon Bleu

They’re easy to prepare…
simply take out of individual wrapper, put on cooking tray and cook for 30 mins…

You’re supposed to let them cool for about 5 minutes after, but they smelled so good we didn’t wait.

This chicken is filled with Swiss Cheese and ham and is quite filling.
Packed with 25g of protein too!

These easy to prepare Cravers are excellent.
My daughter, who is particular picky about what she eats, enjoyed this and was full after!
Cravers Cordon Blue are teen approved.

These stuffed chicken are tender and juicy, unlike other brands that are dry and flavorless.
The ham is excellent…not some cheap stuff.
Each bite if full of flavor and yummy-ness.

If you’re looking for a palate pleasing, affordable and convenient easy to prepare meal include the Cordon Bleu CHicken by Cravers!
It’s sure to please.

Whether you’re jogging, or running…
short distance or long…

Jogging is very beneficial.
It’s good for your legs and your feet.
It’s also very good for the ground.
It makes it feel needed.
~Charles Schulz, Peanuts

Here are some quick running tips for you:

Wear good running shoes.
Women, make sure to get a good sports bra too.
If you’re a new runner, don’t worry about how many miles you can go…just run what you can, gradually increasing time and then deal with distance and speed.
Warm up & stretch prior to running.
Stay hydrated…drink water!
Maintain a healthy diet as well.
Listen to your body.
Be consistent — consistency on a day to day basis is more important than logging in big mileage on rare occasions.
Focus on your goals, not what anyone else is doing.

I always loved running…
it was something you could do by yourself, and under your own power.
You could go in any direction, fast or slow as you wanted,
fighting the wind if you felt like it,
seeking out new sights just on the strength of your feet
and the courage of your lungs.
~Jesse Owens

Question of the day:
Do you like to run/jog?

What is Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS)?
It’s the use of electric impulses to muscle fibers to help with strength training and/or rehabilitation of injured muscles by reproducing the body’s natural contraction of muscles by using electrical impulses.

The body doesn’t know if the muscle contraction is voluntary or involuntary (use of EMS) so you can get an adequate workout while minimizing cardio fatigue and possible injury or stress on joints.
Previously EMS wasn’t widely used; however, recently it’s becoming more popular after research and discovering the effects it can have.
It’s now a commonly used technique to assist in injury prevention, physical preparation and muscle recovery.

How it works
Electrodes are strategically placed to achieve the results in specified muscle areas.
This helps with proper muscle stimulation.

Few highlights of what muscle stimulators can do:
* Can help build muscle strength, density and size
* Reduce injury and fatigue
* Increase localized blood circulation
* Can assist with relaxing muscles and enabling a faster recovery
* Can optimize your muscle’s potential prior to competition or workout.
* Targets muscle fibers
* Increases capillarization of the muscles
* Recover faster

Depending on the level of performance you’ll want to choose the appropriate muscle stimulator.

Make sure to get one that is FDA approved/cleared. Electrical muscle stimulators are considered devices under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. Under this law and the agency’s regulations, the FDA is responsible for regulating the sale of all electrical muscle stimulators in the United States. Therefore, firms must comply with appropriate FDA premarket regulatory requirements before they can legally sell their stimulators. Most electrical muscle stimulators (EMS devices) that have been reviewed by FDA are intended for use in physical therapy and rehabilitation under the direction of a health care professional. If a company wants to sell EMS devices directly to consumers, the company needs to show FDA it can be used safely and effectively in that setting. (source: fda.gov)

There are a variety of muscle stimulators available here to pick from that will suit your needs.

If you’re looking for a fun alternative to running or biking that works nearly every muscle group in your body, try rollerskating.
Rollerskating is an enjoyable way to exercise and have fun doing it.
Rollerskating (and rollerblading) are touted as being more beneficial to your body than biking or even running!
It also ranks high in burning calories.
You can also experience a mental boost too, there’s just something about skating along with the wind in your hair and being free.

The whole family can do it together, or you and your partner, friends, everyone can enjoy this healthy (and fun) activity.
If you have a child who doesn’t want to exercise, skating is ideal!
It’s fun (once they get the hang of it)
It helps develop motor skills and balance too.
Just make sure to get them the right skates.

Roller skating and jogging are equivalent as far as burning calories, health benefits, and developing leg strength.
Skating is a low impact exercise for your joints, making it even better than running or jogging.

All in all skating is a fun healthy way to stay in shape and exercise.

Tips:
Make sure you get the right kind of skates.
Regular stores will carry some rollerblades and rollerskates but they’re going to be low quality and not quite what you should be skating in.
Try a store that specializes in just skates to ensure quality and performance.

And, lastly make sure to have fun

Here I am again with more chicken from Koch Foods who makes the Cravers Chicken product line!
You did see the big assortment I got from Cravers Chicken a couple weeks ago right?

Today I’m featuring the Oven Cravers Stuffed Broccoli & Cheese.

Cholesterol & saturated fats can increase your blood cholesterol putting you at risk for heart disease.
Chicken has less saturated fat than most red meat.
One portion contains 21g of carbs.

When you cut into the white meat, you have an abundance of broccoli and cheese!
Get some cheese & broccoli goodness in nearly every bite.

From freezer to plate only takes 25-30 minutes!
Extremely convenient (and affordable) for when you need a meal and are rushed for time.
It’s as easy as taking out of the freezer and placing on a baking sheet and cook for about 25-30 mins.

Not much to say this morning other than this is kinda appropriate…

It’s that time of week again…yes again…
…more chicken from Cravers Chicken (Koch Foods)!
You did see the big assortment I got from Cravers Chicken a couple weeks ago right?

They really do deliver restaurant quality food in comfort of your own home and easy to prepare!
Convenient…
Affordable…
Tasty…
Versatile…
Great for the entire family… (and Cravers Chicken is all about Family Time)
If you like chicken, I’m sure they have a flavor to appease you!

I know my daughter and I have enjoyed a variety of the Cravers Chicken.
Right now my work schedule is insane, these products definitely make it more convenient for those days I don’t have time to cook a from scratch meal.
Less time in the kitchen means more time working, running, going to the gym, blogging (lol), hanging out with the family, doing whatever…

Today’s feature is Spicy Chicken Cravers Tenders!

Each serving has 13g of protein, no trans fat and 17g carbs.
And just the right amount of spicy.

Pop them in the oven for about 30 mins and you’ve got the makings of a meal.

Good alone, dip in ranch or blue cheese…
make a sandwich with them…
toss in a salad…
throw in some pasta…
The possibilities are endless…

Though this time I did just eat them plain…
next time, who knows what concoction I’ll throw these spicy chicken tenders in.

These spicy chicken tenders are made with all white meat…
(Did you know that white meat contains less calories and fat than dark meat?)

On a side note here are some benefits of eating chicken:
Helps protect against degeneration of tissues
A low fat animal protein source
Can help lower blood pressure
Contains antioxidants
Can strengthen immune system
May improve blood lipid profile

I guess everyone has dreams…
things they want to accomplish…
something they’re going for…

What if your dreams take you in two different directions?
How do you chase your dreams then?!

source

No big surprise that I’m confused and scattered on which direction to go…
seems to be a trait of mine.
I want something, I go for it
but what happens when a few things I want put me in different ends of the spectrum?
Then WHAT?!
Perhaps one of them isn’t really what I’m supposed to do?
How do I get clear on that and focus on which one to go for?
As one door opened (or rather I shoved it open) and am starting to make my way
another few doors are cracking open as well…
Do I split my time?
Focus on one?
Or?

Guess only time will tell which way I go…

source

Question of the day
Are you going for your dream?
Already did?

It’s that time of week again…
…more chicken from Cravers Chicken (Koch Foods)!
You did see the big assortment I got from Cravers Chicken right?
A girl’s gotta get her protein in different ways (and convenient ones for that matter now that I’m on the road more than ever).
(and yes, I used to be vegan/vegetarian…obviously those days are behind me before some of you start texting and messaging me like you did from last post)

A few nights ago, I had the Chicken Parm…
New Oven Cravers Chicken Parm is a contemporary take on a family favorite. Delicious stuffed chicken breasts filled with four cheeses – Provolone, Mozzarella, Romano, & Parmesan – in marinara sauce that is sure to satisfy your whole crew.

Cravers Chicken Parm was full of cheese and marinara sauce oozing out in every bite of the 5 ounce portion.
Even the pickest chicken parm eater will enjoy sinking their teeth into this stuffed breast.
It’s great pick when you want something filling and goes awesomely with spaghetti or angel hair (hey, do it like it’s real Italian food!)
Each one has 22g of protein and for a frozen meal isn’t high in sodium like other prepackaged frozen foods are.

I also enjoyed a tangy Honey BBQ chicken breast too.
Try new Honey BBQ Tender Cravers – a sweet and tangy BBQ flavor ready right from your oven. You won’t need any extra sauce as our newest chicken tender offers scrumptious and pleasing flavor baked in with every bite.

Cravers Chicken is real white meat and not who knows what trying to be passed off as chicken.
When cut, you can see it’s nothing but white meat!

It’s tender, juicy and tastes like it is home cooked BBQ.
The BBQ sauce is a perfect blend of tangy goodness…
a lot of taste in every mouthful!

So far everything I’ve tried has been filling, great tasting and easy to prepare…all pluses for me!
You definitely get your money’s worth with these affordable palatable products.

Stay tuned for even more Cravers Chicken products and deliciousness in the month to come here!

Yes, people change…
I have…

like my bestie Julie says I’m unpredictable, indescribable and an enigma
By the time you think you’ve figured me out
You realize you haven’t!

Like the title of this blog says…
me being me — undeniably unapologetically unique and original

It’s been entertaining & challenging on my Facebook wall lately because of a lot of changes going on.
I’ve been chastised via DM’s, emails, texts…
Had condescending comments on posts
all because I’ve changed or because I’m not doing what others think I should be doing.

I’m not green enough any more, I’m not vegan/vegetarian any more, I posted a pic of a steak sub (the horror), I go to a tanning bed (egads! though I’ve been doing that for 18+ yrs) — yet I don’t drink coffee (never have! though I do drink hot chocolate out of a styrofoam cup at Dunkin Donut when it’s cold out–the horror again), I don’t eat fast food yet do love Resee’s PB Cups (see below!), I’m too girly (now that I like dresses, heels & getting my mani/pedi), I’m too tomboy-ish, I need to see a dr about torn hammie, I need to do this or that, blah blah blah…

So, here…
here’s a quick insight to how I feel about some of those things…

I used to get my nails done…
then I stopped…
then I started again recently…
and now I freak if I have any break (or all of them!)

and while, I really must have my nails done
I still don’t do my hair (wash, comb, go–that’s how I roll)
and the extent of my makeup still remains eyeliner and mascara…

I posted back in June ’12 about not always being 100% healthy and that it’s ok…
And, I still stand by that!

I luv Tammy & her hubby Al who’ve dared me to eat lima beans…
ewwwwwwwwwww never again

Yet, Tammy also posted this today and you know that I will be making this!

I fear ducks, evidenced by many posts on FB

Though, after this morning and being called a wuss for the upteenth time, I am going to work on the duck phobia!
Will try to refrain from screaming like a little girl and jumping up on the table when a duck looms near by.
I will conquer that fear and be called a wuss no more!

While many read this blog and my other social media outlets, apparently a lot didn’t realize I wrote a book!
Yes, I have a book out!
(and no, I’m not a self righteous holier than thou Bible thumping type…I just love and believe Jesus and wrote this down to earth, easy to comprehend book)

I will always luv my Scion!
Even if it is the butt of countless jokes!
Especially since I had the original toaster (as seen in video below and NO that was NOT me in the video!) and now have the 09.

You can watch the video here LOL

I will always wear flip flops (though I do love me my wedge heels too and of course sneakers!)
I will always love the heat and dislike the cold (hellooooooo, I left PA at 17 to South FLORIDA, doesn’t that tell ya something!)

I’m a Realtor now…whohooooo (ms professional)
Yet, according to some others I don’t portray the Realtor image.
Meaning, some days I may show properties in a running skirt & tank top with sneakers…
other days I’ll have on a dress and heels.
I don’t fit the stereotypical image of a real estate associate that’s for sure!
But, you know what…
I’m not supposed to!
I’m supposed to be ME and my clients like me for me!
So, I’ll keep being me.
(so to those who want to email me, text me about my biz card pic & attire…save yourself the time and don’t! Use that time instead to focus on yourself and not what I’m doing!)
Besides, I must be doing something right because people recognize me in stores from my ads & signs and other agents recognize me if they happen to show up at a property I’m showing!

One thing that won’t change…
is me being me…
whoever that happens to be at the moment…
I will be!

I am and always will be a work in progress…
changing some things
leaving others just as they are
tweaking some
totally getting rid of others

But, no matter what I do, I won’t tell anyone else how they should live their life or make snide self righteous comments about their choices…
nor should you!

Be YOU and don’t worry about what others are doing!
now stepping off my soap box

Question of the day
What do YOU do that others may not see eye to eye on?
