So, I happened to be browsing on Netflix a couple of weeks ago and came across this movie that really piqued my interest on the ketogenic diet. And as any avid reader would do, I have been reading and researching about this and other low carbohydrate (carb) intake diets in general. To recap, low carb…

Lazy Sunday Morning
It is just a little after 9:30 am on Sunday morning here in the midwest. I’m having breakfast in bed while listening to BBC Radio 2 online. The sky is gray and cloudy which is just perfect for a lazy Sunday morning doing a little of all the following: Journaling Meal planning Listening to music…
Ketogenic anyone?
Two days ago, I stumbled across the documentary, The Magic Pill on Netflix and found it to be so fascinating. Briefly, the hypothesis behind this documentary is that our bodies are more adept at using fat for fuel than it is at using carbohydrates. According to the documentary, humans actually evolved eating mostly meat, vegetables…
My 10-day staycation started today
Well, yesterday really. But it’s 2:38am and I’m atill awake as I have been the last 3 nights. But not even this recent bout of insomnia will stop me from celebrating. 10 days off from work. Thank you Universe. I so need this time. May I use it wisely. I have so so much to…
Week 16: More of the same
I mean that’s life right? It’s pretty mundane. Same thing, day in day out. We have our daily lists made up of a mix of things like work, parenting, chores, school, study, sleep or lack thereof, pastimes, a major event here and there. The trick is finding meaning in those mundane days. Ok, have I…

Week 14: Insomnia rears its ugly head
I haven’t written much this week. Truth be told, I haven’t done much of anything. Insomnia reared its ugly head again and thwarted all the plans I had carefully laid. I spent most nights struggling to sleep and in the morning, here came sleep which is so frustrating during the workweek. Today being an off…
Then I meditate
Sometimes life becomes too distracting and disruptive that I neglect to carve out the 10-13 minutes I need for my #DailyCalm guided meditations. And I forget how much I enjoy them, how serene yet alive I feel after these brief sessions, and how bit by bit, that calm feeling is staying with me longer and…
Week 13: In need of R&R.
Don’t want to post much this week. Between too much work and continued bouts with insomnia, I’m in need of R&R. I’ll be back next week.
Dear sleep, I can explain
Dear sleep: Look, I can explain. For two straight nights, you’ve run away from me despite my pleas. Ok, I was too desperate. I get it. I begged too much, tossed too much, turned too much, snacked too much, sipped too much, browsed too much, Netflixed too much. Oh wow!, you are right. It was…
