Happy New Year...

Although we are already in the month of February, it's still the beginning of the year so I want to say Happy New Year! I hope that you'v been enjoying the year thus far. Things have been going well for me so far this year. I am proud of myself because I have been consistently working out and making it a priority to watch what I eat. I wouldn't say that I am on a diet, it's just that I am making more of an effort to develop better eating habits. And, my goal is to lose some weight since I've gained too much over the last several years.

I've also made another decision and that is to join many others in the world of wearing dreadlocks. Yeah, I'm so excited!!!! Over the last few years, I have thought about wearing dreadlocks but then would chicken out since this is a total change for me. Well, I figured that 2015 would be the year to make this decision so I've started the process. I'll be 50 in October so by the time that I turn the big 5-0, I hope to weigh 25 pounds less than I do today and that my dreadlocks would have grown out by then and into the maturing process. I will post pictures in the near future!

At the end of the day, when I turn 50 I want to be fit and even more fabulous than I am today.

Until next time, peace!

Yesterday, was Christmas and I am thankful for the opportunity to be able to celebrate the birth of Christ and spend time with family and friends. I hope that you did too!

Avoiding Relapse During the Holidays

The holidays are a happy time for many people, but for those in recovery it is often quite the opposite. In fact, individuals struggling with addiction often dread the holidays. Stress is at an all-time high during the holidays and for people grappling with addiction it can accelerate the relapse process. To prevent relapse, it’s important for individuals in recovery to have a stress free holiday plan. This plan can include: developing a sober escape plan for all activities, saying “no” and not feeling obligated to attend holiday events and volunteering to help others less fortunate.
