gnawing on a piece of ...

jerky....homemade from moose hamburger (We are a hunting family and i'm the one who shot and killed dat moose!) it's one of the leanest wild meats out there save for elk, and there is something comforting in knowing how/when/why etc of what you are eating! i guesstimate that 3 pieces (i cut it up) is about 1 oz so 1 pt for 3 pieces and it's super chewy and last a long time and tastes soooooo good!

anywho, Wednesdays (starting last week) are busy here as Tempel is now in playschool (they just started a 3 year old program in our town instead of just a 4 year old one, yay)... and today i was the parent helper so that meant we had to be there earlier (it starts at 9) and that i had to take Tobin to the babysitters (he's only 15 months so can't go to school yet...ah, my baby)...but school is only until 10:30 so then the rest of the day is still ours...

coming home to a clean house was awesome...did i mention i de-hoarded it yesterday! so awesome to get rid of baggage!
i find that i've done this in stages...last year i got rid of emotional baggage (went for therapy actually!) to deal with mother issues...then i started working on the physical baggage (joined WW) and had some excellent results but was yo-yoing around that 175-180 give or take...now with my new addiction to watching Hoarders, i'm getting rid of actual material baggage...i threw out the teddy bear that i came with when i was adopted! granted i took pictures of it but yeah, i was holding onto that old, smelly thing like it was a person and you know what? it's not...it's a thing and the people in my life are what is important!!!

i feel so empowered over my future and i know that me getting healthier in all aspects is just going to skyrocket the future of my family...my husband is going to benefit , my kids are going to benefit and hopefully it will go further than that to my other family members...i just feel so positive like this is indeed the path the Creator (God) (i call him different names depending) has led me to be on!!!

the world truly is my oyster!!!
