Ms. Blueyes' Life

 MAN!!! TIME IS FLYING BY!!!   Here it is the middle of June and I can't believe that I haven't posted for a couple of months! UPDATE on weight loss journey: 1. I went with a new Coach - Built to be Different -  Kayla Kirajyan   and Chandler Vec (shortened last name) and am really liking how they are challenging me and working with me and my mindset. That and consistency have been my BIGGEST challenges on this journey! 2. LOTS has been happening where I've been a little derailed here for several weeks. From putting my house on the market, moving to another state, helping my Mama w/ my Daddy (advanced stages of Alzheimer's and her own health), getting my son registered and ready for high school in the fall w/ football and classes, starting a new job, needing to close on the house in KY...need I say more???? 3. Weight has been going up due to me not being consistent - with meal prepping, working out, water intake, sleep.... back to the grind as I am NOT happy w...

  Hello Bee Hive family! It's been a little crazy over here at the Bee Hive! So many things have been happening and going through some tough stuff, but also some exciting news as well! First, the EXCITING news! Even though I have been living in KY for 2 1/2 years, and really loving the area, I'm moving my little pea pod family (my 14 yr old son and I) back to WI to help my Mama with my Daddy. He has Alzheimer's and is fading more and more and she needs help. That's not the exciting part. The exciting part of that is that we will be reunited with family. My younger brother lives across the driveway, but Mama needs more help. I will be putting my house on the market beginning of April and PRAYING that we can get top dollar for it as we make the move back up north. We hope to be back up there 1st of June. So, we've been busy packing boxes, sorting, selling, de-cluttering things to be able to present our best for the buyers. It's stressful being a single Mama, worki...

  HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!  Yes, it is February - but I see that I haven't posted in a few months! It has been crazy! That's still no excuse, but life happens, right? Well, let me catch you up on my health journey and what has been happening with me. December: I went home to the parents for Christmas. My Dad has 3rd stage Alzheimer's - which is pretty much closer to the end of what we know of Dad. Mama was in the hospital for 11 days (before I got there) with a blood infection. She was home and facing physical challenges while trying to care for Dad. As I was there for 11 days, I saw my parents in a new light. They were now needing my assistance more than ever. Mama still can get around, drive, and mentally "with it", but just physically wearing down. So, in order to "cope" with all of this, I was EMOTIONALLY EATING AT IT'S FINEST!  I came back and was getting ready for New Year's, going back to work, all the things that people do after the holidays.  ...

 As it's the first day of the month, so many people, including myself, always state, " NEW MONTH. NEW MINDSET. NEW PLAN " or something to that affect. I'm guilty of it myself - MANY MANY TIMES. But I'm seeing for myself, that it doesn't matter what day of the week or month you are at, pick THAT day and just do it! It's all in the mindset! I've noticed that most of my posts here lately have been dealing with mindset. So apparently, I've been dealing with this topic for quite some time! I know that it will finally "click" with me - but it all starts in just setting my mind to workout that day. Or eating "on plan" or just eating clean. One day at a time. One meal at a time. One workout at a time.  I've been reading a book by Gary Foster, PhD titled "The Shift" and it deals with 7 shifts in our mind to be able to conquer the negativity in our mental vocabulary. I'm writing them down and putting them on my bathroo...
