Perfectly Imperfect and Ok With That!

Day in the life!! I hope no one EVER thinks this ish is easy. I. Flippin. wish. I've gotten good at simple. It's a complicated looking simple but it's creating your own auto pilot and KNOWING what's non negotiable. Mine are basic- must get to work before 9a 22 miles (30 non trafficy minutes or 45-60 MEAN DFW HORRIBLE DRIVER SCENE 😑) surely you see my preference???  Anyway, I frame my day with that in mind  Below- my PREWORK the day before any work day: FIRST ACTION:  laying out my daughters clothes, my workout clothes for 5am and my work clothes..

Stayed pretty immune healthy (other than allergies but that's a mile long post). Being in the health and fitness industry, you'll see all kinds of fads go by. Low carb, high protein, gluten free, fat free etc etc. so when I saw the GAPS diet I blew it off. Looking at it closer- it's a back to basics thing. It's how I grew up. It's CHEAP!  My granny grew up in a time where there were no scraps, just opportunities to stretch meals from those extra weird pieces like neck bones, chicken bones, whatever was in the garden.  This isn't a blog about the GAPS diet (highly recommend you research though)  B...
