Day 11 - day off from work but a lot of work to do

-

Today I took a day off from work because I needed to help my mom with the preparations for grandma's 40 day death commemoration. I woke up at around 09 a.m. and went to the nearest town with our family's friend to buy food and necessities for the commemoration.

My mom had already started to make food for the event before I was gone. In the afternoon my auntie visited and stayed the night. I helped my auntie and mom with the food packages for the people. It is customary in Romania to give away food and invite people over when it is a funeral or a commemoration. In the evening we also made the koliva (a traditional desert made with boiled wheat, walnuts and sugar, served only on funerals or commemorations). 

My dad and my uncle made the barbeque for the invitees. We finished the work at around 9:30 p.m. I was so tired that I couldn't fall asleep easily. 

I didn't forget to take my supplements and have decent meals. I didn't pay attention to what I was eating, I remember that I didn't have anything in the morning and at lunch I had some cheese stuffed chilly peppers with some coleslaw and ham salad with bread. I don't remember what I had in the evening. I think I had koliva in the evening.

Day 22 - a productive day

You won't believe what I did today!😍 I called the guy at the driving school and told him that I wanted to start. He said OK and we will meet up on Monday to make the registration documents. I am so excited about this but I am also very afraid of driving and producing an accident. However, it is my dream to have a driver's license and it's on my resolution list every year. This year is the last year that this is on my resolution list.😏 In the evening I went to the doctor's office to get a necessary paper for the registration.  I also finished reading Kristin Hannah's book "Night Road". And, oh my God!, what a trip that has been!

Day 18 - Miss Sporty

Woah! What a huge day was today! I woke up at around 9 a.m. I had my supplements and my protein shake.  I woke up lighter today and I think that that also contributed to my wellbeing.  Then I went to work. I had a lot of work to do because our customers had troubles with our apps this morning; two of them were not working anymore. So I had a lot of calls and mails and tickets to keep me busy until afternoon.  When everything calmed down I read the last 50 pages from Meg Mason's book, "Sorrow and Bliss" and I read another 50 from Kristin Hannah's book, "Night Road". After work I did a work out from one of Chloe Ting's programs that I abandoned last year. I felt good. And I washed my hair.  My mom mad chicken thighs and potatoes and I had to resist the urge to eat a lot in the evening. So I made myself a salad with lettuce, green onion and vinaigrette and I also had a few potatoes with eat because I craved for them a little. Now I am going on my other blog

Day 14 - the first two weeks of transformation have passed

-
 Woah! Two weeks already?  The time passes so fast.  In the past two weeks I can say that I implemented some new habits.  It is now in my habit to have a lot of water daily, to have my spirulina, lion's mane and CLA supplements with each meal, to apply sunscreen and have good meals. I continue to have cheat days but that is ok and I have stopped to punish myself for them.  Overall, my health improved. I can feel it. My skin shows it in the mirror and although I have the same weight as when I started the journey, I feel that there is a slight change in the body. I am more energic, I no longer have energy drops and my energy stays the same for the whole day, although I am on massive period.  Today I woke up with severe blood clots and spotted all over so I had to take an emergency shower. I hope this heavy cycle is not due to the supplements that I am taking. If this means that I am going to have a shorter period so be it.  In the morning I had 2 fried eggs with red bell pepper, chee
